	3:15pm Erica: 5️⃣Years!
	♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: This is the 271st show
	3:17pm Erica: That fuzz guitar.
	♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: The crazy violin!
	3:19pm Erica: Orchestral meets Rock and/or Roll.
	3:19pm Erica: Rock and/or Roll was a Reverend Lovejoy reference.
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: I remember!
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: Jazz it, Iggy
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I love how the organist collapses at the end of the song.
	3:27pm sufferwords: yipeee- for you and us
	♥ 3:27pm Candy-O'67: @Jeff, it's only 88 here in Austin right now. High is supposed to be 94 today. Lower humidity today. So, it's not bad at all :)
	3:27pm David Shortell: I think I first saw Donovan in the unnarrated 1977 documentary series “All You Need Is Love: The Story of Popular Music” when PBS rebroadcast it in 1980. He played the Brian Jones-inspired “Local Boy Chops Wood”.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: Happy anniversary Larry!
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: Hello sufferwords!
	♥ 3:32pm coelacanth∅: (husker du did my favorite version of sunshine superman)
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi David! I kind of feel thay I've been aware of Donovan since I was a kid. It's almost impossible to have been alive in 1967 and not heard this song,
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi C! Thanks!
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth∅: it was played at least every few hours on wabc-am, for weeks if not months
	3:34pm Erica: I could NOT sing that high.
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Donovan's version of this song has never been released. It was recorded by Karen Verros and Dana Gillespie, both versions rare and expensive.
	3:35pm Erica: I discovered the Dana Gillespie version first, on BBC Radio 6 Music.
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: I think it was just reissued for Record Store Day
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: BTW George Washington Brown is in fact Van Dyke Parks
	3:37pm Erica: I didn't know that Larry.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Erica?
	3:39pm Erica: Which one what Larry?
	♥ 3:39pm Michael 98145: VDP !
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: You said you didn't know that. I was asking which thing didn't you know?
	3:40pm David Shortell: Until now, I only knew "You Just Gotta Know My Mind" as a song recorded in the 2000's by the Royal Purple (a project by WFMU Rock'N'Soul deejays Mike Sin and Stu Rutherford).
	3:41pm Erica: Sorry I thought you were talking to me about Record Store Day.
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @David - Now I have to go dig out my Royal Purple CDs. Mike gave me a bunch of them years ago
	3:42pm David Shortell: I once saw Donovan in person, but not as a performer. Back in the 2000’s, he spoke to an audience at the Anthology Film Archives after a screening of Jacques Demy’s 1972 film “The Pied Piper” which he played the titular role in.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: I've always wanted to see that.
	♥ 3:46pm Michael 98145: just mad about superlungs
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: OK, I just looked up The Pied Piper, it features UK bombshell as "Frau Poppendick". Somebody had a sense of humor.
	♥ 3:47pm doctorjazz: I may as well try to say hi (from my busy office), hi Larry and all!
	♥ 3:47pm Michael 98145: this is such a flashback
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - Superlungs is coming
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:50pm Kitschy Mama: Fun show Larry!
	3:51pm David Shortell: Said UK bombshell is Diana Dors!
	3:51pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Happy 5th Anniversary! Digging the Donovan!
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey Angela! Thanks!
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey Andres! Thanks!
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: @David - Yes!
	3:53pm David Shortell: That line about a power ring in "Museum" is Donovan's second reference to Green Lantern in his songs!
	♥ 3:53pm coelacanth∅: Reid's superlungs is better than Donovan's in my opinion ...maybe just because of that voice Terry's got
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's the one that's coming!
	♥ 3:55pm Sem: Miss you, Theodore!
	3:55pm Erica: Ooh la la
	♥ 3:56pm Michael 98145: Hope Dark Night Julie is around here ...
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: Julie did a Donovan set the other night.
	♥ 3:57pm Michael 98145: yes, a big one!
	♥ 3:58pm Michael 98145: Green Lantern fans unite !
	3:58pm CupcakeJenny: Had to strip in and say hi 👋
	3:58pm Erica: Hi Jenny.
	♥ 3:59pm coelacanth∅: what, you're not playing the Allman brothers' version of first there is a mountain?!
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Strip in?!?!? This is not a clothing optional show!
	3:59pm CupcakeJenny: Yikes!! DROP IN
	♥ 3:59pm Michael 98145: Aloha, honored educator !
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: @C - That would be like half the show.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	♥ 4:00pm coelacanth∅: 1/4, about!
	♥ 4:00pm Michael 98145: wow - never heard this
	4:00pm CupcakeJenny: Funky16corners AFTER DARK LOL
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - From a UK-only LP. She also does Hurdy Gurdy Man on it
	♥ 4:01pm coelacanth∅: and i believe it IS a clothing-optional show
	4:01pm CupcakeJenny: Hi Erica and Michael :)
	4:01pm Erica: lol coel
	♥ 4:02pm Michael 98145: La-la !
	4:02pm CupcakeJenny: Anything is clothing optional if you’re not easily embarrassed!
	♥ 4:03pm coelacanth∅: - or if you can't be seen
	4:04pm David Shortell: It's remarkable that Donovan referred to Jefferson Airplane in this song when they were largely unknown (before the group's first album!).
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: He made the scene in California.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Earlier this week the former editor of Sixteen magazine posted a clipping about Donovan coming to a Hollywood party, playing a set from the diving board of the pool, then jumping in
	♥ 4:09pm Michael 98145: Whoa !
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: This is from an all-covers album: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: Did NOT know this: One of the longest tenured punk rock bands, they have been in continuous existence for over 40 years.
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: Bravo, this, too
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: What a voice he had...
	♥ 4:14pm coelacanth∅: Supercords
	4:16pm Andres: Mel Torme!! Alright!
	♥ 4:17pm Michael 98145: Vegas in the house !
	♥ 4:17pm coelacanth∅: supposedly the subject of epistle to dippy quit the army after hearing the song; but then Donovan also covered universal soldier around the same time. maybe both had an impact.
	4:18pm Erica: That Mel Torme track was actually pretty good for a cover.
	4:20pm CupcakeJenny: I’ve got to get driving home! Have a good week everyone!
	♥ 4:23pm coelacanth∅: wear your Eartha like heaven
	♥ 4:23pm coelacanth∅: take care Jenny
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: See you at home Jenny!
	4:25pm Erica: Thanks for tuning in Jenny!
	4:26pm David Shortell: Not the same song as Sham 69's "Poor Cow".
	♥ 4:26pm coelacanth∅: some of Mel's cheesy stuff ain't 1/2 bad either ...for cheesy stuff
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: @David - I'm not familiar with the Sham69 tune
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: This was the flip side of her hit version (seriously) of The Lord's Prayer
	4:28pm Erica: Sister Janet Mead is sadly no longer with us.
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Yes, passed early this year
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link for Dave's show when I'm done: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:31pm Michael 98145: Joan is always unmistakable
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: No other voice like it
	♥ 4:35pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry and fellow Testifiers! I am BACK after a two week Florida vacation with an all new show coming up next! Thanks, Larry for pinch hitting for me last week! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kip! My pleasure!
	4:36pm Andres: This is lovely!
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: REVISION!!! Dave is AFTER Kip, not after me...
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - This is one of my fave Donovan songs
	♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: And this - Sand and Foam - IS my fave Donovan song!
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: This album produced by John Cale.
	4:42pm Andres: Lots of competition in this group to find a fave!
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: I could def do another Donovan covers show, and will def do a Donovan show with his recordings, soon.
	4:48pm David Shortell: I saw the 1972 film "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", but the Donovan songs in it don’t appear on its soundtrack album. For some crazy reason, he had to rerecord the songs in 2004 so he could release them as an album through iTunes!
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: That's crazy! They're in the movie, right?
	♥ 4:49pm Michael 98145: Always liked Gabor Szabo
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: I did a whole Szabo show a while back
	4:51pm Erica: This has been a great show Larry.

	4:56pm Andres: Thank you, Larry!!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

	4:04pm David Shortell: It's remarkable that Donovan referred to Jefferson Airplane in this song when they were largely unknown (before the group's first album!).
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: He made the scene in California.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Earlier this week the former editor of Sixteen magazine posted a clipping about Donovan coming to a Hollywood party, playing a set from the diving board of the pool, then jumping in
	♥ 4:09pm Michael 98145: Whoa !
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: This is from an all-covers album: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: Did NOT know this: One of the longest tenured punk rock bands, they have been in continuous existence for over 40 years.
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: Bravo, this, too

	4:16pm Andres: Mel Torme!! Alright!
	♥ 4:17pm Michael 98145: Vegas in the house !
	♥ 4:17pm coelacanth∅: supposedly the subject of epistle to dippy quit the army after hearing the song; but then Donovan also covered universal soldier around the same time. maybe both had an impact.
	4:18pm Erica: That Mel Torme track was actually pretty good for a cover.

	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: @David - I'm not familiar with the Sham69 tune
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: This was the flip side of her hit version (seriously) of The Lord's Prayer
	4:28pm Erica: Sister Janet Mead is sadly no longer with us.

	4:42pm Andres: Lots of competition in this group to find a fave!
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: I could def do another Donovan covers show, and will def do a Donovan show with his recordings, soon.
	4:48pm David Shortell: I saw the 1972 film "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", but the Donovan songs in it don’t appear on its soundtrack album. For some crazy reason, he had to rerecord the songs in 2004 so he could release them as an album through iTunes!
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: That's crazy! They're in the movie, right?
