Listener comments!
	🥁 10:04pm WR: Here we are now
	🥁 10:05pm WR: And it leads to here now too.
	🥁 10:05pm WR: A different URL was in the email sent this morning.
	🥁 10:06pm WR: Hah, I have multiple windows open, those last two comments are out of order.
	🥁 10:07pm WR: Kenzo was doing some maintenance during the last hour, you may have been affected by that.
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: Ok, somehow I'm here, I'm so confused
	🥁 10:11pm WR: Irral is a label I've never heard of and the info on discogs makes for a bizarre back story.
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: It's a strange first name at least
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Forgot to check back to see if the king of tech had gotten this up. Good evening Kris & WR.
	🥁 10:13pm Candy-O'67: Hey guys! Just got done doing some Christmas shopping vat Blue Genie. Fun!
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Candy
	🥁 10:14pm Candy-O'67: Hey Matt!
	🥁 10:15pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' this Joe Simon set!
	10:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I thought Joe was from Louisiana and Wikipedia confirmed it for me
	🥁 10:16pm Candy-O'67: Do you have the Cleo 45? Oh, crap, I didn't hear that! How old was he?
	🥁 10:16pm WR: Irral Berger, The Swinging Granny, and she has song writing credits on both the Simon sides. Wonder if anywhere anyone asked Simon how that record got made. Hi Matt and Candy. Matt, can't blame Kris on this one. Kenzo was doing some playlist maintenance, he came on all the pages at about 9:30 PM and said that there might be some "hesitations".
	🥁 10:17pm Candy-O'67: Yep, Matt, I believe he was from Shreveport, up my parents' way. My mom is from North Louisiana
	🥁 10:18pm Candy-O'67: I've got the Cleo 45. I got it in LA for a buck! He had a long run and he's partying in heaven now. RIP, Joe!
	10:18pm Matt from New Orleans: Candy he was from Avoyelles Parish between Barton Rouge & Alexandria but moved to the Bay Area in his youth
	🥁 10:19pm Candy-O'67: Oh, ok. I thought I heard Shreveport. Must be thinking of someone else
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: I wasn’t blaming Kris WR. I was just joking at his expense. I figured it was something out of his control as the app was still showing the prior shows info after Kris started.
	10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: Baton stupid autocorrect. I corrected one word but missed that one.
	🥁 10:23pm Candy-O'67: I didn't even catch it, Matt! Lol
	10:33pm Kris Holmes: Dang, you forget just how consistent & great his 60s sides were
	10:34pm Matt from New Orleans: If you had checked the message board you would have read where Simmesport is at. It’s like at the front of the ankle of the boot.
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: Ha, I'm still recovering from the shock of the start of the show
	🥁 10:35pm Candy-O'67: He sure did, Kris. Do you know of his '70's hit Cleo? I love that one, too.
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: From Cleopatra Jones Candy?
	🥁 10:36pm Candy-O'67: Yep, Matt. That's it
	10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s a good soundtrack
	🥁 10:38pm Candy-O'67: I need to hear the whole thing
	10:38pm Kris Holmes: I know it but that's one I don't have
	🥁 10:39pm Candy-O'67: You should get it, Kris. It's fab!
	10:40pm Kris Holmes: i'll grab it next time i see it
	🥁 10:42pm Candy-O'67: 😁
	10:43pm Matt from New Orleans: JJ Johnson did the soundtrack aside from the theme that Joe Simon wrote. Nothing spectacular but a real solid Blaxploitation soundtrack.
	10:45pm Matt from New Orleans: Two Millie Jackson songs on there too
	🥁 10:48pm WR: On Wikipedia it quotes someone saying Simon carried on the flame of Sam Cooke, but on some of the tunes, when he starts singing I hear a tone similar to James Carr.
	10:49pm Kris Holmes: Doesn't sound like Sam at all
	10:55pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m guessing in the sense that he came out of a Gospel background and recorded in Chicago but way rawer than Sam Cooke but still a little sophistication
	10:56pm Kris Holmes: Maybe, Chicago was a split second, way more southern sounding than Sam, maybe in the sense that he also started his own labels?
	10:58pm Matt from New Orleans: We getting to the Gamble & Huff period?
	🥁 11:04pm Candy-O'67: This is sizzlin'!🔥🔥🔥
	11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: Joe Simon had a great career but just disappeared. His songs which charted highly never became oldies songs that would get played over and over.
	🥁 11:08pm Candy-O'67: Such a shame they didn't, but kinda good, too, that his stuff isn't worn in the ground by Oldies stations
	11:09pm Kris Holmes: I wonder why?
	🥁 11:09pm Candy-O'67: Me, too
	🥁 11:16pm WR: Whole lot of lovin', great recording!
	🥁 11:24pm WR: Yes, Matt, good point. Did he not ever get crossover hit enough to become popular with the white oldies fans and not considered an important enough artist to the dominant music critics to push him. Just supposing.
	🥁 11:28pm WR: sorry about my awkward sentence. fast one finger phone typing as gulping down late dinner.
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: youtu.be... Pretty good doc about Joe
	🥁 11:33pm WR: Thank you Matt.
	🥁 11:35pm WR: Is "Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now" in the mix for tonight. Curious to hear that one.
	11:36pm Kris Holmes: I don't have that one
	11:38pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s from 1985 WR
	11:38pm Kris Holmes: LOL, no way I'd have that then, sorry WR
	🥁 11:39pm Candy-O'67: Thx for sharing, Matt. I'll check it out
	11:41pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s on an Electro/Rap label Kris. The album has some interesting moments but it’s an odd fit.
	🥁 11:42pm WR: Yeah, I'm always curious about odd.
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. Great tribute to Joe. There’s definitely some other quality tunes on his albums that are worth checking out.
	11:56pm Kris Holmes: There is SO MUCH!!!!
	🥁 11:56pm Candy-O'67: Very cool show tonight. Thx for sharing all these fabulous tunes of a very talented man with us. Really enjoyed it! RIP, Joe❤️🕊️
	🥁 11:57pm WR: Curious, I associate Misty Blue with Joe Simon, but Wikipedia says it was just a regional hit for him. Guess I was in the right region.
	11:57pm Kris Holmes: Thanks Candy
	11:58pm Kris Holmes: WR, I associate Misty Blue with Dorothy Moore, don't recall Joe's version
	🥁 11:58pm Candy-O'67: 😁✨🙌
	11:59pm Matt from New Orleans: Night everyone
	12:00am Kris Holmes: Goodnight all
	🥁 12:00am WR: Goodnight Matt, Candy, any lurkers, and thank you Kris for celebrating Joe Simon.
	🥁 12:02am Candy-O'67: Night, WR, Matt
