I'm having my periodic surgical procedure tomorrow and I'm waiting for the scheduler to call, which they usually do around 3PM, so don't be surprised if I have to jump off the mic suddenly.

I first discovered his version of The In Crowd on the Weather Channel back in 2003.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm

That's an unusual place to discover it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm

And, YAY! the hospital called during a song! All set!
Avatar 3:10pm

It played during the Local on the 8s.

Hey zzz!

was played The In Crowd by my father at some point which was my introduction (haha, probably a bit more common than being introduced to it on the weather channel-- i have heard the proggy phish tune Guyute there, but i digress) --- that ramsey album and one of the greatest hits comp were very formative listening for me.

I really have never understood why doctors think they need to start the day in the middle of the night
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:23pm

Guess golfing takes priority
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:24pm
Funky16Corners:

Well, I know my urologist and the hospital in general are super backed up thanks to Covid restrictions. I don't mind too much since it means I'll be out and home early.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

Most of the material from this album was written by Richard Evans (who also produced and arranged)

Andrew in Toronto:

Hey doc!

Michael 98145:

Even before Covid, procedures were being scheduled before sunrise .
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

It's not even the procedure. You have to be there like 90 minutes prior. I don't expect to see the doctor until 7AM
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm

Well, hope it helps. I'm ageing ... not sure why.

I think Apple was using it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:43pm

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm

Hey Vincent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:45pm
Funky16Corners:

@Kurt - That was the 45 (thus the crackle...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:46pm
Funky16Corners:

It just boggles the mind that a guy this talented had the opportunity to work with two distinct sonic visionaries like Evans and Stepney
  3:50pm
Moog1 Radio:

Me thinks much more Lennon/McCartney is on the horizon!

You are correct, sir!

In the world of things sublime, they don't get much sublim-er than this...

You can say that again! I adore this record with every fiber of my being. I've had a copy of "Julia" on a 45 for as long as I've been alive, true story. I can never ever be without one.

Funky16Corners:

The perfect intersection of musician and arranger.

I remember seeing in the liner notes Recorded at Ter Mar Studios Chicago, December 1968... and then reading The White Album was released like Nov 22 1968 and thinking what the what the????
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, the wasted no time whatsoever!
  4:00pm
Moog1 Radio:

and not forgetting by Jan 2 1969 the whole Get Back thing kicked off... people were pretty busy back then!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:01pm
Funky16Corners:

I was watching a doc about Creedence Clearwater Revival today and they recorded three albums in like 7 months?!?
  4:03pm

Wow to this day there was a never an official reissue of this record on CD in the US

Sounds like next week is another 60s themed show. I could be wrong
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:14pm
Funky16Corners:

Spanning the 20s through the 80s
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:16pm
Funky16Corners:

This was recorded in Minneapolis at a club called the Depot, which later became First Avenue, as seen in Purple Rain

Don't forget to tune in to Kip and Discotech Underground at 5PM - wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:31pm
WR:

Browsing the Lewis discography, the Urban Knights releases are new to me. Look varied. Some, particularly the first one which has significant involvement from Maurice White, are an all star affair. Some are a quartet or quintet led by Lewis. Has anyone listened to them?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:32pm
Funky16Corners:

I have not, and there are a bunch of them
Avatar 4:38pm
Vincent The Soul Chef:

Another one that I "borrowed" from my mom back in the 70s... she didn't have many records, but the ones she did have were essential. I still have most of them :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:39pm
Funky16Corners:

These early 70s Columbia albums must have sold really well. They've been bargain bin staples forever
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:40pm
Woo:

Sorry I missed most of this. Will go back but meanwhile. Need to expand my Ramsey Lewis world. I'm in Chicago and he's a big deal here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Now THIS is the jam.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Woo!
Avatar 4:41pm
Vincent The Soul Chef:

Upeno Ni Pajoma and Sun Goddess for sure, Larry... I have a couple from the mid 70s as well. It seems like every household had them, and they were pretty well played.

This IS the jam indeed.
