	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Wait'll you hear the story of this one
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm zzz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:19 i am a huge lover of the hammond. was it an earlier organ jam showcase where you played Wildare Express (might have been downtown soulsville), crusin'? that was a revelation for me, hearing it for the first time and relizing it was reuben wilson's early group and cruisin was a proto-Love Bug (title track on one of my fav records, peep the avatar!)
	♥ 3:26pm Michael 98145: ( i take comfort in realizing after tomorrow sunset is approx 1 minute later every day )
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @3:22 That Wildare Express stuff is slept on. The album, and all of the 45s are excellent

	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: It seems to be working great
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Erica: Now we no longer have to use the @ symbol to reply to people.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Yes, makes things easier to keep track of
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: This is def one of my fave versions of JJF
	♥ 3:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 I would concur, but my sample list is much smaller than yours....
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "El Bandido" by "Georgie Fame" Featuring a young Mitch Mitchell on drums!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Erica: Still trying to figure out the arrows.
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm zzz: lots of brits
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Erica: ↳ zzz @3:43 Indeed old chap.

	♥ 3:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ Erica @3:29 Yes! fun
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Thanks String!
	♥ 3:46pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Erica @3:41 Mousing over the arrows and holding for a sec provides a handy ID for what a particular arrow is designed to do. I get the comment threads more readily than the song arrows. Also: hello!
	♥ 3:46pm Zipperhead7: When I depart this blighted orb, I hope I am greeted by a chorus of seraphim singing "boogaloo"
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Le Winston" by "Nilsmen" This was a promo for cigarettes, thus the RJR label. One of the picture sleeves features Brigitte Bardot smoking.
	♥ 3:50pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Of course, Bardot was always smoking.
	♥ 3:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @3:41 you follow the arrows to do the neutron dance....
	♥ 3:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Jeff Golick @3:50 so to speak 😎
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: True, true...
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Erica: ↳ northguineahills @3:51 Very funny.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Ali" by "Andre Brasseur" Ooh, I forgot, a stop in Belgium!
	♥ 3:56pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "Ali" by "Andre Brasseur" Road testing the Maestro fuzztone on that guitar solo
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Brasseur did some wild stuff. Now really known over here other than Hammond collectors and Northern Soul fans (for one 45)
	♥ 3:58pm Michael 98145: Like what we're hearing
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 Then my evil plans have been successful!
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm WR: Hi Larry, drummer streamers
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Greazee Pts 1&2" by "Billy Preston" Billy was 16 when he recorded this

	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Young and talented.
	♥ 4:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Roadside 75" by "O'Jahs" I assumed the O'Jahs were a reggae/dub O'Jays cover band. (see Jah Division)

	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 All the big stars!
	♥ 4:25pm StringOFperils: Off to a classic start
	♥ 4:25pm Little Danny: indeed
	♥ 4:27pm StringOFperils: This station is so good that I feel HEALED
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 After 20 minutes of searching, I can only assume that was a joke, playing off both O'Jays / Money & Rastafari Jah / Mon
	♥ 4:27pm Little Danny: larry don't wanna derail the xmas special focus but have you heard jimmy mcgriff's xmas-themed 45 "Chip Chip"?
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:27 You are correct!
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Little Danny @4:27 I have not!

	♥ 4:30pm StringOFperils: Kenzo needs to build something that allows the listener to instantly email a link to a friend, fellow traveler, or significant other one wants to freak out
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:30 That's a great idea!
	♥ 4:33pm StringOFperils: I can almost see Mel co-piloting that sled, like he's always been there and still is
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:33 Mel was the best
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Erica: ↳ Song: "The Loneliest Christmas Tree" by "Little Lisa" Another 60s Christmas gem discovered.

	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm WR: ↳ Song: "Cake Boss Reads Christmas Letters From Kids" by "... That Cake Boss thing is ridiculously sick and funny.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 KAY Lewis...
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: How was that NOT in the Christmas cannon?
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:38 Paul F Tompkins is one of the funniest people. He started out on Mr Show
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: I have this LP from back then. It's superbo
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 It was a pretty rare 45 that was reissued along with Lisa Miller's equally rare LP
	♥ 4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 ok, now I'm trying to remember who he was...

	♥ 3:26pm Michael 98145: ( i take comfort in realizing after tomorrow sunset is approx 1 minute later every day )
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @3:22 That Wildare Express stuff is slept on. The album, and all of the 45s are excellent

	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "El Bandido" by "Georgie Fame" Featuring a young Mitch Mitchell on drums!

	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Thanks String!
	♥ 3:46pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Erica @3:41 Mousing over the arrows and holding for a sec provides a handy ID for what a particular arrow is designed to do. I get the comment threads more readily than the song arrows. Also: hello!
	♥ 3:46pm Zipperhead7: When I depart this blighted orb, I hope I am greeted by a chorus of seraphim singing "boogaloo"
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
