	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'll have to look to see if i have one on my phone
	♥ 3:08pm Brian in UK: Might change my nomenclature to 'Pops'.
	♥ 3:08pm Little Danny: you knew i was gonna ask :)
	♥ 3:08pm zzz: lol at this kid and the discussion. hey @F16C and all! that Tjader track reminded me of a pretty delightful medeski, martin and wood kids album i recently rediscovered called lets go everywhere
	3:09pm Erica: Hey guys. Love your profile pic Danny.
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz!
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	♥ 3:10pm Little Danny: thanks erica! nice to see you!
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: These guys appear in a discotheque scene in a really weird horror movie called Two On a Guillotine
	♥ 3:12pm Little Danny: wow, never heard of 'em larry, that definitely had that '60s discotheque club act sound
	♥ 3:13pm dreamyandseedy: i really like this show theme
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: It was two black singers fronting an integrated band, featuring a pre-Sly and the Family Stone, Greg Errico
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Dreamy - Lots of fun stuff to come!
	♥ 3:17pm Candy-O'67: Fun theme, Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm Michael 98145: "Monkeys is the cwaziest peoples!"
	♥ 3:21pm Little Danny: yeah great theme, larry, i'm thinking about all the music made for and by music educators now too
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: I'm already remembering things that I should have included. Time to work on volume 2!
	♥ 3:25pm Phillippe: Howdy
	♥ 3:25pm Brian in UK: If your children can still be 'friends' with you as they get older even though you are still the parent that is the best. Never tried to put my music tastes on our girls. Each generation has to have the music that they grow up with.
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My youngest has no musical tastes outside of digging ELO. My oldest likes Jimmy Buffett, the Beatles, classical music and something called Vaporwave that I don't fuly understand
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: i don't mean to be that dude but i think i know another artist who's gonna get played during your show today larry, initials b.d.
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: That is correct!
	♥ 3:29pm Little Danny: nursery rhyme verses immediately made me think of him :)
	3:29pm Erica: Hey Larry. If your other son likes Vaporwave, he should check out the Kmart tapes on YouTube. People have remixed them to sound like retro inspired music.
	♥ 3:29pm Brian in UK: Was disappointed that Jimmy Buffett never mad a GREAT album. Volcano was OK.
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'll tell him
	3:30pm Erica: Jimmy Buffett's music ain't for everyone Brian. It's more my thing.
	♥ 3:31pm zzz: ohhhh there’s shirley. the best
	♥ 3:32pm Brian in UK: Is this the original Twister?
	♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: I remember The Mouse-I was a great Mouser!
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Just uploaded a pic. Not the baby pic I was looking for, but close.

	♥ 3:37pm Little Danny: the driftwood(?) lamp is outstanding too
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is an answer record to 'The Mouse', later sampled by De La Soul
	♥ 3:38pm Little Danny: where in nj was this photo larry?
	♥ 3:38pm Phillippe: @Brian in UK: The usual response from all of my family members, regardless of age, is "Geez, what are you listening to NOW?!"
	♥ 3:39pm Little Danny: omg

	♥ 3:40pm StringOFperils: Howdy, LG + ones
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't I a darling child?
	♥ 3:40pm doctorjazz: Never mind-needed to scroll, using phone, didn't realize it.
	3:41pm Erica: I see them Larry. So cute.
	♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: Philippe, can understand that. All the girls have left home. My wife is not so tolerant of some FMU shows. Know what I mean!!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	♥ 3:41pm Phillippe: OMG Larry, you and I could be brothers! You got a hotter mom, though...
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: I'll tell her you said so!
	♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Great photos, Larry.
	♥ 3:42pm Phillippe: @Brian in UK I used to get more grief from them when I used to listen to Bryce on Friday afternoons
	♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: Others peoples Moms are always hotter.
	♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: Phillippe, that goers without saying.
	♥ 3:44pm StringOFperils: Ektachrome adds 10 lbs. of hotness

	3:45pm Erica: 🐏🐐
	♥ 3:45pm Little Danny: lol larry ❤️️ i was right there with you just with red hair
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: The good thing is, with white blond hair, when my hair turned white nobody noticed.
	3:46pm Erica: So this is where Toto took inspiration from.
	♥ 3:46pm Michael 98145: cute photos!!
	♥ 3:48pm Michael 98145: fun on the freerange farm!

	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: It is indeed! He recorded as a singer for the Skye label as well
	3:55pm Erica: We're learnding today.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...

	♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: Who needs Muppets when you have Bob Dorough.
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Having seen Bob in person many times, he was Muppet-esque
	♥ 3:58pm Brian in UK: He was in the vanguard.
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Now do CHUCK!
	♥ 4:00pm Michael 98145: Used to watch Soupy always!
	4:00pm Alex In Illinois: I learned my multiplication tables from Multiplication Rock. My Mom would wake me every morning with the Multiplication Rock record
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Alex - If you were a kid in the 70s that stuff is hard wired into your brain. Which is good.

	♥ 4:14pm Brian in UK: This show got me thinking of Stacy Lattisaw for some reason. She is fifty five, oh boy.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: I found a copy of this at a record show years ago. It comes with a mimeographed booklet. Couple of cool tracks
	4:16pm Erica: Well looks like we found the "true" rap song before rap became a genre of music.
	4:18pm Erica: Surprisingly this song is on the WFMU blog.
	♥ 4:19pm zzz: trying to figure out whos on the band (organ and drums) on this track.

	♥ 4:21pm StringOFperils: Hah, this funk exhortation is great!

	♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: Yes, one of our daughters had a full head of hair and then her daughter did last November.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'll have to look to see if i have one on my phone
	♥ 3:08pm Brian in UK: Might change my nomenclature to 'Pops'.
	♥ 3:08pm Little Danny: you knew i was gonna ask :)
	♥ 3:08pm zzz: lol at this kid and the discussion. hey @F16C and all! that Tjader track reminded me of a pretty delightful medeski, martin and wood kids album i recently rediscovered called lets go everywhere
	3:09pm Erica: Hey guys. Love your profile pic Danny.
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz!
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	♥ 3:10pm Little Danny: thanks erica! nice to see you!
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: These guys appear in a discotheque scene in a really weird horror movie called Two On a Guillotine
	♥ 3:12pm Little Danny: wow, never heard of 'em larry, that definitely had that '60s discotheque club act sound
	♥ 3:13pm dreamyandseedy: i really like this show theme
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: It was two black singers fronting an integrated band, featuring a pre-Sly and the Family Stone, Greg Errico
	♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Dreamy - Lots of fun stuff to come!
	♥ 3:17pm Candy-O'67: Fun theme, Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm Michael 98145: "Monkeys is the cwaziest peoples!"
	♥ 3:21pm Little Danny: yeah great theme, larry, i'm thinking about all the music made for and by music educators now too
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: I'm already remembering things that I should have included. Time to work on volume 2!
	♥ 3:25pm Phillippe: Howdy
	♥ 3:25pm Brian in UK: If your children can still be 'friends' with you as they get older even though you are still the parent that is the best. Never tried to put my music tastes on our girls. Each generation has to have the music that they grow up with.
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My youngest has no musical tastes outside of digging ELO. My oldest likes Jimmy Buffett, the Beatles, classical music and something called Vaporwave that I don't fuly understand
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: i don't mean to be that dude but i think i know another artist who's gonna get played during your show today larry, initials b.d.
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: That is correct!
	♥ 3:29pm Little Danny: nursery rhyme verses immediately made me think of him :)
	3:29pm Erica: Hey Larry. If your other son likes Vaporwave, he should check out the Kmart tapes on YouTube. People have remixed them to sound like retro inspired music.
	♥ 3:29pm Brian in UK: Was disappointed that Jimmy Buffett never mad a GREAT album. Volcano was OK.
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'll tell him
	3:30pm Erica: Jimmy Buffett's music ain't for everyone Brian. It's more my thing.
	♥ 3:31pm zzz: ohhhh there’s shirley. the best
	♥ 3:32pm Brian in UK: Is this the original Twister?
	♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: I remember The Mouse-I was a great Mouser!
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Just uploaded a pic. Not the baby pic I was looking for, but close.
	♥ 3:36pm Brian in UK: It's Larry.
	♥ 3:36pm Little Danny: wow look at that blonde mop!!!
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: That beer bottle was empty...heh heh...1963...
	♥ 3:37pm Little Danny: ❤️️❤️️❤️️
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: I'm pretty sure I was less than a year old there.
	♥ 3:37pm Little Danny: the driftwood(?) lamp is outstanding too
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is an answer record to 'The Mouse', later sampled by De La Soul
	♥ 3:38pm Little Danny: where in nj was this photo larry?
	♥ 3:38pm Phillippe: @Brian in UK: The usual response from all of my family members, regardless of age, is "Geez, what are you listening to NOW?!"
	♥ 3:39pm Little Danny: omg
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: A slightly later pic, with my Mom and me wearing a Sinatra fedora
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That first photo was in White Plains, NY where I was born. The second one was taken down at the Jersey Shore somewhere

	♥ 3:40pm StringOFperils: Howdy, LG + ones
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't I a darling child?
	♥ 3:40pm doctorjazz: Never mind-needed to scroll, using phone, didn't realize it.
	3:41pm Erica: I see them Larry. So cute.
	♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: Philippe, can understand that. All the girls have left home. My wife is not so tolerant of some FMU shows. Know what I mean!!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	♥ 3:41pm Phillippe: OMG Larry, you and I could be brothers! You got a hotter mom, though...
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: I'll tell her you said so!
	♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Great photos, Larry.
	♥ 3:42pm Phillippe: @Brian in UK I used to get more grief from them when I used to listen to Bryce on Friday afternoons
	♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: Others peoples Moms are always hotter.
	♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: Phillippe, that goers without saying.
	♥ 3:44pm StringOFperils: Ektachrome adds 10 lbs. of hotness

	3:44pm Erica: Baaahhhh 🐑
	3:45pm Erica: 🐏🐐
	♥ 3:45pm Little Danny: lol larry ❤️️ i was right there with you just with red hair
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: The good thing is, with white blond hair, when my hair turned white nobody noticed.
	3:46pm Erica: So this is where Toto took inspiration from.
	♥ 3:46pm Michael 98145: cute photos!!
	♥ 3:48pm Michael 98145: fun on the freerange farm!
	♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of De La Soul samples...

	3:54pm Andres: Hey, Larry! 3ft High and Rising is an ATF and yet never heard that before. The kids have been hogging all this sweet music!
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Andres!
	♥ 3:54pm zzz: is this Grady Tate the drummer?
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: It is indeed! He recorded as a singer for the Skye label as well
	3:55pm Erica: We're learnding today.
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	3:56pm Erica: And yes I spelled it as "learnding". Referencing Ralph from the Simpsons.

	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rev Jim!
	♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: Who needs Muppets when you have Bob Dorough.
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Having seen Bob in person many times, he was Muppet-esque
	♥ 3:58pm Brian in UK: He was in the vanguard.
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Now do CHUCK!
	♥ 4:00pm Michael 98145: Used to watch Soupy always!
	4:00pm Alex In Illinois: I learned my multiplication tables from Multiplication Rock. My Mom would wake me every morning with the Multiplication Rock record
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Alex - If you were a kid in the 70s that stuff is hard wired into your brain. Which is good.
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - I love Soupy
	4:01pm Erica: I don't thing those were names...
	♥ 4:03pm Candy-O'67: Looking forward to the Dutch show!

	4:09pm Erica: Eeh hee. Hoo! It's the Jackson 5.
	4:09pm TheMostReverendJim: Man, "ABC" ... :)
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: This early Jackson 5 stuff is choice!
	♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: Forgot about this one; this is a cool record...a sound changer

	♥ 4:13pm zzz: misdemeanor is such a jam
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'm pretty sure it was sampled
	♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: Dig the cover of this one: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:14pm Brian in UK: This show got me thinking of Stacy Lattisaw for some reason. She is fifty five, oh boy.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: I found a copy of this at a record show years ago. It comes with a mimeographed booklet. Couple of cool tracks
	4:16pm Erica: Well looks like we found the "true" rap song before rap became a genre of music.
	4:18pm Erica: Surprisingly this song is on the WFMU blog.
	♥ 4:19pm zzz: trying to figure out whos on the band (organ and drums) on this track.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Good band, right?
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Whoever wrote it up at the WFMU blog made a lot of mistakes
	♥ 4:21pm StringOFperils: Hah, this funk exhortation is great!
	4:21pm Erica: Well it was written back in 2005 Larry.
	4:22pm Erica: Maybe you can write an updated post on that Angela album.
