	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:02 Hey Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Comin' Home" by "Delaney & Bonnie" Hello Larry and Testifiers! Cool track! Haven't heard it in ages, always dug it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hey Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Comin' Home" by "Delaney & Bonnie" Gimme some falsetto!
	3:06pm bradford: Hiya Larry & all!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:06 Hi bradford!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Mr Russell on the pie-anna!
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: BTW that's Danny Kirwan in the picture at the top of the playlist
	♥ 3:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "My Dream" by "Fleetwood Mac" you played my dream three years ago and jo mcgasko played although the sun is shining 5 years ago...
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: It's been that long?!?
	♥ 3:31pm northguineahills: errr, joe...
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: I meant me playing My Dream, but there's so much music through here every week it's hard for me to judge
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: If I was smart(er) I'd have kept a database of everything I've played over the years.
	♥ 3:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 I just realized I mispelled joe's name...
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:41 Ah!
	♥ 3:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:40 I just thought it was interesting when I saw the two songs came pre-clickied, and I thought, "I don't remember anyone playing Then Play On in its entirety". And saw it was b/c of joe's and your earlier selections...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: It's a long time favorite of mine. I'm not partial to much of the band's early blues stuff, but the mix of styles that came in with Then Play On is just amazing. Great album alll the way through.
	♥ 3:46pm StringOFperils: It's been so long since I've heard this material that it seems like it's from my childhood, and from another century, which in fact it is I guess. A haunting feeling.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:46 Hey String! I agree on the vibe of the songs. There's almost a melancholy thing happening, and the overall high quality is kind of surprising when you realize how little known a lot of it is. I don't remember hearing ANY of this on the radio.
	♥ 3:51pm northguineahills: I found Tusk in '99, and then slowly worked my way backwards in FM's discography...
	♥ 3:54pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Yes, where I was that was certainly true. Nothing at all of this sort was on the radio at all. It was up to me or a friend to scrounge some small change somehow to buy whatever looked interesting in one of the two record stores in the city. No purchase, no access. I was astonished when I move away to a big city (300, 000 ha ha) and heard Led Zep on the radio. It just didn't correspond to my world-model.
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Oddly enough, though it's probably from the "familiarity breeds contempt" file, I don't spend a lot of time with the Buckingham/Nicks era
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:54 Yeah, the availability of progressive FM radio has a lot to do with the kind of things people could hear. My buddy Jeff grew up in Wisconsin and had a seriously far out station to listen to. Back in the 60s there were a couple of pockets, in Florida, Texas and Southern California where AM stations were playing unusual stuff omn a regular basis.
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Sometimes" by "Fleetwood Mac" It's amazing how early Fleetwood Mac started out as heavy rock and country rock before they become popular with the addition of Buckingham Nicks
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 They were like an iceberg, with 90% of their music invisible to most people
	♥ 4:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Just 3 AM stations where I lived, and lunar-like silence across both radio bands in between them. Even years later. I discovered KAAY Arkansas and WLS Chicago later on my transistor radio at night. There was zero to interfere with it bouncing over Lake Superior
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:00 I used to love exploring the radio dial late at night to see what I could pick up from far away
	♥ 4:02pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Saved my life. It was like Last of the Mohicans where I was. Quite a world backwater.
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Agreed Larry. Their earlier stuff is underrated and underappreciated compared to songs like Riannon, Dreams or the Christine McVie stuff.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & listeners. Remember the first album coming out. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry! And the underwater iceberg testifiers
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 Hey Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:04 Hello Theo!
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: Even the in-between period when Bob Welch centered the band is yet another interesting incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. So many evolutionary stages.
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:05 He's on the Future Games and Bare Trees stuff
	♥ 4:07pm StringOFperils: Is he? Makes sense, but I remember him gaining prominence later...that's why I'm here!
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Brian in UK: Peter Green was the best until that strange business with narcotics; was it in West Germany?
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 Green was supposedly dosed with some very bad acid by some German hippies
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:07 I should do a set of only Welch songs sometime in the future
	♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: I think the only one I still have is the Chicago sessions (the 'Fleetwood Mac in Chicago' version), the album that has Otis Spann and Willie Dixon etc....w Green, Spencer and Kirwan (I think)
	♥ 4:16pm northguineahills: i've only gotten music in the pre-internet era via word-of-mouth and reading various books and periodicals. It never occurred to me to use radio (as by the 90s, radio was all but dead).
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:16 Sadly a relic of a bygone era.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: BTW Brother JC Crawford with the intro..
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Erica: It's time to Testify!
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Here comes Wayne!
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Brian in UK: The Stooges & MC5 come to Elektra. Oh boy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Erica: As heard in this show's intro.
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:18 I'm pretty sure I damaged my hearing blasting this album repeatedly
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:18 Good ears, Erica!
	♥ 4:21pm northguineahills: when i was in elementary school in japan, i was able to get dr. demento via a shortwave station in alaska..that's what kept me abreast of american culture...
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:21 That's cool!
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Ahem, HEY, ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME....
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Brian in UK: Danny Fields has a lot to answer.
	♥ 4:22pm StringOFperils: I keep meaning to visit the ghost of Detroit just once, one of these days, to touch the earth more or less. Almost accepted a job at the Windsor Star 43 years ago, but haven't been near it since.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Kick Out the Jams" by "MC5" The Energy!
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:22 Speaking of good ears...
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:22 I'd like to go get a piece of the Grande Ballroom
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 If I get there, I'll keep that in mind. :) You'll get strange mail.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This performance is ORGASMIC
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 "Hey Larry, there's a box here with a piece of concrete in it."
	4:24pm bradford: pure intensity...
	♥ 4:25pm StringOFperils: A chunk of rust that smells like mold
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @4:24 There's like 10 albums worth of intensity on this one record
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I can feel the bong bubbling like it was right here with me...
	♥ 4:28pm Discotech Underground: Larry! Damn, y'all rockin' OUT to-DAY!
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:28 Hey Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to figure out if this is more a marijuana or quaalude album,,,
	4:30pm fredr: Hey Larry! Great stuff this afternoon
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: make sure to stay tuned for Kip at 5PM - wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ fredr @4:30 Hey fredr! Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Brian in UK: Was there a Honda Quaalude or did I imagine that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:31 There is now
	♥ 4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @4:31 Wouldn't go over 30mph
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:32 Kept driving into a ditch
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Brian in UK: Went faster in reverse than forward?
	♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: Listened to Twice Removed From Yesterday a lot when there was nothing to listen to but that old handful of scrounged albums...and unrelenting outraged parental reprimands.
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: The slow part of this song may be the stoniest groove ever committed to vinyl.
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: BTW James Dewar, GREAT fucking singer
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Smoke em if you got em...
	♥ 4:39pm Discotech Underground: I have seen Robin Trower live at least ten times but I think he's probably through touring ever again. On his last trip one of his tour management people died from Covid and I think it freaked him out and he is pretty much done.
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:37 The perfect compliment to RT's guitar. Similar, in a way, to Bob Tench in the Jeff Beck Group
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:39 He's got to be close to 80?
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 I think that this version of Trower's band is close to a continuation of Band of Gypsys
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Trower is 78
	♥ 4:45pm StringOFperils: If only he'd done something with Miles for a while; if only the time hadn't run out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 Yes, indeed, some of the great unanswered musical questions
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: I'm expecting a phone interview, so, I'm dropping now, thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:47 Bye NGH!
	♥ 4:50pm Andrew in Toronto: That was a wonderful show! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:50 Thank you, Andrew!
	♥ 4:51pm StringOFperils: Maybe an AI-cloned Jimi Hendrix with an AI-cloned Miles and Bill Laswell, and....*falls of chair
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:51 Entertaining the AI audience!
	♥ 4:51pm Discotech Underground: Don't touch that dial, because Discotech Underground RETURNS to the WFMU streamwaves NEXT!!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:52pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Things are going to get weird (er)
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:52 No doubt in my mind, whatsoever
	♥ 4:55pm StringOFperils: Phew! That was an interesting show. Thanks!
	4:55pm Fred R: Thanks Larry
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm bradford: Excellent show Larry, many thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Yvang: This went really fast! Thanks for the sonic trilogy Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:58 As always, my pleasure!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Erica: Great heavy show today Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks, Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm Erica: Can't wait for next week's anniversary show.

	♥ 4:22pm StringOFperils: I keep meaning to visit the ghost of Detroit just once, one of these days, to touch the earth more or less. Almost accepted a job at the Windsor Star 43 years ago, but haven't been near it since.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Kick Out the Jams" by "MC5" The Energy!
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:22 Speaking of good ears...
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:22 I'd like to go get a piece of the Grande Ballroom
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 If I get there, I'll keep that in mind. :) You'll get strange mail.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This performance is ORGASMIC
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 "Hey Larry, there's a box here with a piece of concrete in it."
	4:24pm bradford: pure intensity...
	♥ 4:25pm StringOFperils: A chunk of rust that smells like mold
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @4:24 There's like 10 albums worth of intensity on this one record
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I can feel the bong bubbling like it was right here with me...
	♥ 4:28pm Discotech Underground: Larry! Damn, y'all rockin' OUT to-DAY!
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:28 Hey Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to figure out if this is more a marijuana or quaalude album,,,
	4:30pm fredr: Hey Larry! Great stuff this afternoon
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: make sure to stay tuned for Kip at 5PM - wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ fredr @4:30 Hey fredr! Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Brian in UK: Was there a Honda Quaalude or did I imagine that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:31 There is now
	♥ 4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @4:31 Wouldn't go over 30mph
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:32 Kept driving into a ditch
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Brian in UK: Went faster in reverse than forward?
	♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: Listened to Twice Removed From Yesterday a lot when there was nothing to listen to but that old handful of scrounged albums...and unrelenting outraged parental reprimands.
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: The slow part of this song may be the stoniest groove ever committed to vinyl.
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: BTW James Dewar, GREAT fucking singer
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Smoke em if you got em...
	♥ 4:39pm Discotech Underground: I have seen Robin Trower live at least ten times but I think he's probably through touring ever again. On his last trip one of his tour management people died from Covid and I think it freaked him out and he is pretty much done.
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:37 The perfect compliment to RT's guitar. Similar, in a way, to Bob Tench in the Jeff Beck Group
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:39 He's got to be close to 80?
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 I think that this version of Trower's band is close to a continuation of Band of Gypsys
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Trower is 78
	♥ 4:45pm StringOFperils: If only he'd done something with Miles for a while; if only the time hadn't run out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 Yes, indeed, some of the great unanswered musical questions
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: I'm expecting a phone interview, so, I'm dropping now, thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:47 Bye NGH!
	♥ 4:50pm Andrew in Toronto: That was a wonderful show! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:50 Thank you, Andrew!
	♥ 4:51pm StringOFperils: Maybe an AI-cloned Jimi Hendrix with an AI-cloned Miles and Bill Laswell, and....*falls of chair
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:51 Entertaining the AI audience!
	♥ 4:51pm Discotech Underground: Don't touch that dial, because Discotech Underground RETURNS to the WFMU streamwaves NEXT!!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:52pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Things are going to get weird (er)
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:52 No doubt in my mind, whatsoever
	♥ 4:55pm StringOFperils: Phew! That was an interesting show. Thanks!
	4:55pm Fred R: Thanks Larry
