	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Thank you, Andrew
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:07 Yes, an awful loss. I spent most of yesterday afternoon watching Ike and Tina stuff on Youtube
	3:07pm TDK60: Larry, you listed 78s. And do you have a turntable with the 78 RPM speed?
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:07 I do indeed, though some of these are pulled from digital sources
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: yes, rest in peace Tina.
	3:10pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 I'm more into her 80s stuff after she divorced Ike. Although her version of Proud Mary is iconic.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: i wish i still had the 4-speed portable rcs stereo that i grew up with. wish i was still in touch with the person i gave it to.
	3:11pm Jeff Ash: Don't know whether Joe did this, but I sure can hear my dad scatting in his distinctive way to these first few tunes. They were right up his alley.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:11 (not that he's likely to still have it)
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. If I read the messages correctly you have had an awful two months. Condolences. VOUT
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:11 My Pop was a bigfan of the jivy scat stuff from the 30s and 40s. I come to my love of Slim Gaillard directly from him. I can picture him singing along with Yep Roc Heresy
	3:12pm ike-o: Peace and greetings everyone-hope things are no worse than uneventful bo do de oh
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Thank you, Brian
	3:13pm TDK60: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:11 Jeff: My dad was a jazzer who died last year. He likely had this some of this stuff in his collection.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ ike-o @3:12 Hi ike-o
	3:13pm ifny on the road: When it comes to Slim Gaillard, I'll take everything on the menu <3
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is a young Bing Crosby
	3:14pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers! (love this 20's jazz).
	3:14pm Jeff Ash: I remember walking into his apartment and hearing Phil Harris blasting from his boom box, turned up to about 11.
	3:14pm Erica: Hearing this music makes me think of black and white rubber hose cartoon.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:14 Phil Harris was the best!
	3:15pm coelacanth∅: 'afternoon, doctor j
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Hey Doc!
	3:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Everybody Loves My Baby" by "Temperance Seven" Adrian Rollini bass sax? (I'd bet money if I gambled, or if someone would take me up).
	3:15pm Jeff Ash: TDK60, my dad loved much the same stuff.
	3:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:15 Hello Coela!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:15 This is an English trad jazz revival group from 1961!
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: This is one of the first albums of my Father's that I bought my own copy of as an adult
	3:16pm ike-o: Now this is a beat
	3:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:15 Really! Took Rollini's sound, don't think that's a tuba doing the bass...
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:16 They were devoted to recreating that 1920s dance band sound
	🥁 3:18pm WR: Larry! Baby! How're we doing!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: I saw The Band play this once!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:18 Hey WR!
	3:23pm ifny on the road: Condolences to you and the rest of the Mighty Oak Family.
	3:27pm TDK60: Haha! Larry. My father told me the very same thing": Fats wasn't just a fun singer but a great pianist.
	🥁 3:29pm Brian in UK: Larry, very heartfelt tribute. Funny how you seem to be miles apart in your teens, then slowly drift closer.
	3:31pm CupcakeJenny: I can hear pop singing this
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:29 Brian, if only we knew that as teenagers...
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:31 Me too, and he liked this version a a lot
	3:32pm CupcakeJenny: Pop loved a good introduction
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:32 Yes!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: This is lifted right off the soundtrack of To Have and Have Not, you can hear Bogart at one point
	3:35pm holland oats: lovely tribute sir
	🥁 3:35pm Brian in UK: The Hoagy show. Will we have Barnacle Bill?
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ holland oats @3:35 Thanks, holland oats
	3:38pm TDK60: I have to leave the building early. My sympathy to you, and what a great show, DJ Larry.
	3:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:05 hola coel!
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:38 Thanks, TDK60!
	3:40pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" Here's a classic everyone should know.
	3:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" state song of.... well, georgia...
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 Yet another testament to the greatness of Hoagy Carmichael
	🥁 3:42pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" This song is bliss.
	3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" What Yvang said...
	3:44pm CupcakeJenny: For our first anniversary I think my in-laws took Larry and I to see Ray Charles. Such fun.
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:44 Great concert!
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:44 That is cool.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: I got to see Ray Charles as well, it was a great concert!
	3:48pm CupcakeJenny: My favorite!!!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:48 I think I saw Bob Dorough at least three times with Pop
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Maybe four now that I think of it
	🥁 3:50pm Brian in UK: Larry, you re one lucky fella.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:50 I am, indeed
	3:51pm Jeff Ash: This might be where my dad and your Pop start to diverge. Dave Brubeck was as modern jazzy as my dad got. He stuck with the big band/swing sound and then a wee bit of the easy listening scene before he had 3 boys and no more disposable income for records.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:51 Oddly enough, though Pop never got deep into bebop, he was a fan of avant garde stuff, He loved Gil Evans, and the classical composer Charles Ives was a favorite of his. I may have to do a Part Two to this show with all classical stuff.
	3:53pm CupcakeJenny: I remember seeing him outside once you and me
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:53 Up at the Delaware Water Gap?
	3:57pm doctorjazz: My dad liked classical music and Polka (he was a Polish immigrant). No jazz fans in the family until I became one.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 Pop was a big fan of big band jazz, esp black bands, Chicago-style jazz, Eddie Condon etc, and jazz singers of all kinds
	4:00pm Erica: My dad was also brought up with big band and swing as well as rock music. He especially liked Minnie the Moocher by Cab Callaway, which he would call my cat that before he died.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 TCM showed an old Cab Calloway short of the band doing Minnie the Moocher yesterday between movies.
	🥁 4:02pm dutchtheo: Hi Larry, i'm sorry about your Pop. Rough month for you and the family. Behind the clouds are the cherished memories.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:02 Thank you, Theo
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nuages" by "Django Reinhjardt" Electric Django, not that much of that, it was late in his career.
	4:03pm doctorjazz: Sorry for all the losses, Larry.
	4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 I sadly don't have that channel anymore or else I could've watched it.
	4:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Hey doc!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Thanks, Doc
	4:04pm CalZone!: I just dropped in to see what condition my Django was in...
	4:04pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dutchtheo @4:02 Hi dutchtheo.
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:04 Hey Cal!
	🥁 4:06pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 Good idea.
	🥁 4:08pm dutchtheo: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:04 Hi, Andrew and testifiers
	4:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:04 Hoagy never gets old.
	4:10pm CupcakeJenny: ❤️❤️❤️
	4:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:03 Hi Andrew!
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: september song's an all-time favorite. favorite version: Jimmie Durante's.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:14 Yes! One of the best!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song For My Father" by "Horace Silver" I'd favorite this, but I'd have to unfavorite it first...
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 I hear that...
	4:16pm coelacanth∅: i miss the musical conversation with my older brother, who checked out young, in 1992. never had valuable musical conversation with my father, even though we each Loved music.
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 i've been guilty of that (usually by accident, or it takes a while for the star to show up).
	4:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song For My Father" by "Horace Silver" Joe Henderson on tenor, just KILLS it...
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:19 Yessir! Recorded right here in New Jersey!
	4:23pm doctorjazz: Fabulous tribute, Larry!
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:23 Thanks, Doc!
	🥁 4:26pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 LOL, everything Rudy Gelder was New Jersey, so pretty much everything Blue Note and Prestige and several other independent labels.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:26 I still take it as a point of pride.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: Here's a long intro...
	🥁 4:29pm WR: ↳ Song: "What'll I Do" by "Harry Nilsson" With the intro, it is like two songs in one.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:29 It's kind of a lost art
	4:31pm Fred R: Enjoying the show Larry! Greetings from NYC all!
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:31 Thanks, Fred!
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "What'll I Do" by "Harry Nilsson" Think the arrangements make this album.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:33 Agreed. Nilsson used old-school master Gordon Jenkins
	4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @4:26 Hey, Joisey is usually the butt of jokes, we need all the positive things we can get!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: gotta go. a Beautiful tribute Larry Thanks. and Thank you Pops!
	4:35pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Agreed. There needs to be better things here in the garden state

	4:36pm Funky16Corners: This arrangement by Don Sebesky, another recent passing
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today" by "Jack Sheldon" This song was made for Nina Simone.
	🥁 4:37pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 LOL, this morning on Sheena's heard a music / comedy radio show from 1940 in which "Jersey side" was substituted repeatedly for "shady side".
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:37 We Garden Staters are nothing if not perpetually put-upon
	4:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 He was so good.

	4:40pm Alex In Illinois: I know where Cape Girardeau is! I've been there. Right near the Missouri Bootheel right by Arkansas
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Alex In Illinois @4:40 Hey Alex! I just heard it mentioned somewhere else, and now I can't remember where. It's on the Mississippi, right?
	4:43pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 I think show illustrates how beloved you are.
	4:44pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Yes. You are correct, sir!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: This song has a very specific connotation re fathers and sons, despite it being turned to mush by Jerry Lewis.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Mahalia fixes that right up.
	4:46pm doctorjazz: Big Dave Van Ronk fan (got to see him in some Village club back in the day-didn't actually know much about him except that he had a connection to Dylan, a friend dragged me).
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Pop and I shared a love for Van Ronk. It's that voice.
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 His book is very good!

	3:11pm Jeff Ash: Don't know whether Joe did this, but I sure can hear my dad scatting in his distinctive way to these first few tunes. They were right up his alley.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:11 (not that he's likely to still have it)
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. If I read the messages correctly you have had an awful two months. Condolences. VOUT
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:11 My Pop was a bigfan of the jivy scat stuff from the 30s and 40s. I come to my love of Slim Gaillard directly from him. I can picture him singing along with Yep Roc Heresy
	3:12pm ike-o: Peace and greetings everyone-hope things are no worse than uneventful bo do de oh
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Thank you, Brian
	3:13pm TDK60: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:11 Jeff: My dad was a jazzer who died last year. He likely had this some of this stuff in his collection.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ ike-o @3:12 Hi ike-o
	3:13pm ifny on the road: When it comes to Slim Gaillard, I'll take everything on the menu <3
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is a young Bing Crosby
	3:14pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers! (love this 20's jazz).
	3:14pm Jeff Ash: I remember walking into his apartment and hearing Phil Harris blasting from his boom box, turned up to about 11.
	3:14pm Erica: Hearing this music makes me think of black and white rubber hose cartoon.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:14 Phil Harris was the best!
	3:15pm coelacanth∅: 'afternoon, doctor j
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Hey Doc!
	3:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Everybody Loves My Baby" by "Temperance Seven" Adrian Rollini bass sax? (I'd bet money if I gambled, or if someone would take me up).
	3:15pm Jeff Ash: TDK60, my dad loved much the same stuff.
	3:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:15 Hello Coela!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:15 This is an English trad jazz revival group from 1961!
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: This is one of the first albums of my Father's that I bought my own copy of as an adult
	3:16pm ike-o: Now this is a beat
	3:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:15 Really! Took Rollini's sound, don't think that's a tuba doing the bass...
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:16 They were devoted to recreating that 1920s dance band sound
	🥁 3:18pm WR: Larry! Baby! How're we doing!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: I saw The Band play this once!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:18 Hey WR!
	3:23pm ifny on the road: Condolences to you and the rest of the Mighty Oak Family.
	3:27pm TDK60: Haha! Larry. My father told me the very same thing": Fats wasn't just a fun singer but a great pianist.
	🥁 3:29pm Brian in UK: Larry, very heartfelt tribute. Funny how you seem to be miles apart in your teens, then slowly drift closer.
	3:31pm CupcakeJenny: I can hear pop singing this
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:29 Brian, if only we knew that as teenagers...
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:31 Me too, and he liked this version a a lot
	3:32pm CupcakeJenny: Pop loved a good introduction
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:32 Yes!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: This is lifted right off the soundtrack of To Have and Have Not, you can hear Bogart at one point
	3:35pm holland oats: lovely tribute sir
	🥁 3:35pm Brian in UK: The Hoagy show. Will we have Barnacle Bill?
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ holland oats @3:35 Thanks, holland oats
	3:38pm TDK60: I have to leave the building early. My sympathy to you, and what a great show, DJ Larry.
	3:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:05 hola coel!
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:38 Thanks, TDK60!
	3:40pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" Here's a classic everyone should know.
	3:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" state song of.... well, georgia...
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 Yet another testament to the greatness of Hoagy Carmichael
	🥁 3:42pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" This song is bliss.
	3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Georgia On My Mind" by "Ray Charles" What Yvang said...
	3:44pm CupcakeJenny: For our first anniversary I think my in-laws took Larry and I to see Ray Charles. Such fun.
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:44 Great concert!
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:44 That is cool.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: I got to see Ray Charles as well, it was a great concert!
	3:48pm CupcakeJenny: My favorite!!!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:48 I think I saw Bob Dorough at least three times with Pop
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Maybe four now that I think of it
	🥁 3:50pm Brian in UK: Larry, you re one lucky fella.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:50 I am, indeed
	3:51pm Jeff Ash: This might be where my dad and your Pop start to diverge. Dave Brubeck was as modern jazzy as my dad got. He stuck with the big band/swing sound and then a wee bit of the easy listening scene before he had 3 boys and no more disposable income for records.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:51 Oddly enough, though Pop never got deep into bebop, he was a fan of avant garde stuff, He loved Gil Evans, and the classical composer Charles Ives was a favorite of his. I may have to do a Part Two to this show with all classical stuff.
	3:53pm CupcakeJenny: I remember seeing him outside once you and me
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CupcakeJenny @3:53 Up at the Delaware Water Gap?
	3:57pm doctorjazz: My dad liked classical music and Polka (he was a Polish immigrant). No jazz fans in the family until I became one.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 Pop was a big fan of big band jazz, esp black bands, Chicago-style jazz, Eddie Condon etc, and jazz singers of all kinds
	4:00pm Erica: My dad was also brought up with big band and swing as well as rock music. He especially liked Minnie the Moocher by Cab Callaway, which he would call my cat that before he died.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 TCM showed an old Cab Calloway short of the band doing Minnie the Moocher yesterday between movies.
	🥁 4:02pm dutchtheo: Hi Larry, i'm sorry about your Pop. Rough month for you and the family. Behind the clouds are the cherished memories.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:02 Thank you, Theo
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nuages" by "Django Reinhjardt" Electric Django, not that much of that, it was late in his career.
	4:03pm doctorjazz: Sorry for all the losses, Larry.
	4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 I sadly don't have that channel anymore or else I could've watched it.
	4:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Hey doc!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Thanks, Doc

	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:14 Yes! One of the best!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song For My Father" by "Horace Silver" I'd favorite this, but I'd have to unfavorite it first...
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 I hear that...
	4:16pm coelacanth∅: i miss the musical conversation with my older brother, who checked out young, in 1992. never had valuable musical conversation with my father, even though we each Loved music.
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 i've been guilty of that (usually by accident, or it takes a while for the star to show up).
	4:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song For My Father" by "Horace Silver" Joe Henderson on tenor, just KILLS it...

	4:28pm Funky16Corners: Here's a long intro...
	🥁 4:29pm WR: ↳ Song: "What'll I Do" by "Harry Nilsson" With the intro, it is like two songs in one.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:29 It's kind of a lost art
	4:31pm Fred R: Enjoying the show Larry! Greetings from NYC all!
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:31 Thanks, Fred!
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "What'll I Do" by "Harry Nilsson" Think the arrangements make this album.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:33 Agreed. Nilsson used old-school master Gordon Jenkins
	4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @4:26 Hey, Joisey is usually the butt of jokes, we need all the positive things we can get!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: gotta go. a Beautiful tribute Larry Thanks. and Thank you Pops!
	4:35pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Agreed. There needs to be better things here in the garden state

	🥁 4:37pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 LOL, this morning on Sheena's heard a music / comedy radio show from 1940 in which "Jersey side" was substituted repeatedly for "shady side".
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:37 We Garden Staters are nothing if not perpetually put-upon
	4:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 He was so good.

	4:40pm Alex In Illinois: I know where Cape Girardeau is! I've been there. Right near the Missouri Bootheel right by Arkansas
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Alex In Illinois @4:40 Hey Alex! I just heard it mentioned somewhere else, and now I can't remember where. It's on the Mississippi, right?
	4:43pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 I think show illustrates how beloved you are.
	4:44pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Yes. You are correct, sir!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: This song has a very specific connotation re fathers and sons, despite it being turned to mush by Jerry Lewis.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Mahalia fixes that right up.
	4:46pm doctorjazz: Big Dave Van Ronk fan (got to see him in some Village club back in the day-didn't actually know much about him except that he had a connection to Dylan, a friend dragged me).
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Pop and I shared a love for Van Ronk. It's that voice.
