	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Sem: Hawks. OK, alright, loved those guys. Hey, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm WR: OK, the TOPTodd interview with Robertson re-ran on Tuesday primed me for this for sure.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Andrew! bradford! Sem! WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry! Hi all!
	♥ 3:02pm dreamyandseedy: hello Larry and everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Yvang! dreamy!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm WR: On social media I saw a photo of The Hawks in something like '62 before Hudson had a beard. Lemmee see if I can find it.
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:04 Is it the one where they're all sitting on barstools?
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Brian in UK: What was it about the Hawks/Band. Three singers, musical competence & a love of music. Remember the first time I heard them on John Peel's Top Gear show playing the Weight. Enigmatic & soulful. Oh & hello Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm zzz: hey @F16C and folks!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:04 Hey Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 Yes, that one.
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @3:04 Hey zzz!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:01 Sem, been a prolific year for fruits.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:05 It's pretty wild, they're so clean cut
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Erica: Afternoon Larry. I hope you enjoyed your birthday
	♥ 3:07pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "Up On Cripple Creek" by "Buckaroos" incredible
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: The Band seemed to come fully formed. Now I understand working with Ronnie Hawkins & Dylan brought them to that point.
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:06 Hi Erica! Thank you, I did!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dreamyandseedy @3:07 The fuzztone is wild!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:05 Aye, aye, Capt. Brian. My favourite orchard owner observed the same as I began my weekly pilgrimages Saturday last for the fruit presently burgeoning.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Levon hated playing behind Dylan. It made hi quit the group for a while
	3:09pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm doctorjazz: Tuesday we had the Robbie Robertson interview rebrodcast, expecting a great show today (what could be bad?). Hi Larry and all! (Todophonic Todd's interview) wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hey Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:09 Hey Doc!
	3:09pm bigplanetnoise: Hey docjazz!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hello Bob!
	♥ 3:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hi bpn!
	3:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon all... got all the speakers on while I make a batch of protein chips and copious amounts of tuna and catfish :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:11 Hey Vincent!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 ok, it is easily available, someone put it on discogs for Levon and The Hawks: i.discogs.com... i.discogs.com...
	3:12pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Brian in UK: Good lord Plastic Penny on Larry Page's label. Think they also recorded Everything I Am.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Featuring Nigel Olsson!
	3:14pm Dean: Plainly, the other Larry Page.
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Brian in UK: Elton would have liked the Band.
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:14 How many Larry Pages are there?
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 He must have. Lots of intersections in their respective sounds
	3:16pm Dean: Hint: Google "larry page"
	♥ 3:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @3:16 but my chrome isn't paginated.....
	♥ 3:20pm northguineahills: i hate it when I get stuck w/ a drug infestation!
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 Gotta call the drugs-terminator
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Brian in UK: Larry, agree with you about Robertson. Found the Last Waltz to be about the Band being their own tribute band. So many confused feelings about him. His talent cannot be denied. Thought his guitar solos were laboured. (Spoiler: not a big electric guitar fan).
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Erica: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" Take a load off, Annie
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:16 Oh, that guy...
	♥ 3:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" yep, i played big pink in full when volunteering monday night at the shelter...
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm WR: And despite each member of The Band having top and distinctive talents, at the key steps of hooking up with Hawkins and later with Dylan it was Robertson that Hawkins and Dylan first called on. And I think of Robertson more as a songwriter than a guitarist, but that may just be me.
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" the little high pitched falsetto hum just KILLS me! (I read the staggered harmony at the end of the chorus hadn't been planned, just "happened".
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @3:24 I'd not disparage his guitar playing, but he falls into what some have called "feel" (as opposed to "technique"). Think Creedence/John Fogerty
	3:26pm Dean: I'm always confusing Robertson with Paco de Lucía.
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: I love a lot of his lead playing. Fits in perfectly with the overall sound.
	♥ 3:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:26 Yes!
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: There are parts of this where it sounds like Garth is playing a pump organ, and Robertson is playing through a Leslie
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Brian in UK: Is Garth devining for water in the photograph?
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 He just finished giving Danko a whippin'
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Jeff Ash: Good afternoon from Wisconsin, everyone!
	♥ 3:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 ha! it does look like a water dowsing stick, there!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:32 Hiya Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:33 Hey NGH!
	♥ 3:34pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Robbie`s playing on this is great: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Tarred and feathered, yeah, thistles and thorns...
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" The guitar playing on this track is killer as well (the solo).
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:34 I have to look for that!
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Brian in UK: When Big Pink was released it was welcomed with open arms (Clapton etc) though it was so out of time with current trends it must have seemed like a palette cleanser.
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" The maestro has entered the room...
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Garth is the last surviving member...
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:38 This song is pure joy
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:38 You bet. Either the New Year concert or the Royal Albert Hall were peerless.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: I'm reading a book about the Woodstock NY scene in the 60s and 70s and Maria Muldaur talks about living next door to Garth Hudson and awakening in the mornings to his playing Bach on the organ
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:39 I was at the New Year's Eve Concert, Bob Dylan came out for the encores! (1971 Academy of Music NYC).
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Wow!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 I saw Dean there (he's been to every concert ever held, you know...)
	♥ 3:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:39 great way to wake up!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Were those the Rock Of Ages shows?
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:41 He didn't enjoy it.
	3:42pm Dean: I remember bumping into you there, doctorjazz. Funny, but we called you that even before medical school.
	3:42pm bigplanetnoise: Rick D used to live pretty close to me here upstate. He was a WONDERFUL guy. About 30 years ago (gulp), we were working together on a taping for local PBS radio show. After the recording, Rick looked at me and my brother-in-law and said, “you guys want to get a drink?” We headed out to the street and I started toward a fairly nice place - a local musicians’ hang. Rick said, “Not there - over there…” and pointed to a notorious, loud biker bar just down the road. We walked in and he said, “I’m buying - what are you guys drinking?” I said, “I’ll just have whatever’s on tap.” Rick said, “I don’t buy beer for anyone. I asked you what we were DRINKING!” And the night went from there. Bet - I’ll never forget it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:41 She said it was beautiful
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 I don't think so, I believe it was later, not sure though. (I saw them a few times, once in a double bill with the Grateful Dead).
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: This show is making it really hard to get back to work...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 They did have the horn section...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Whoa. That's amazing. Oneof my fave shows was Danko and a tiny, tubercular looking harmonica player at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park, NJ. He was a riot.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Brian in UK: How popular were the Band at the time in the USA. I was at the Albert Hall gig & every song was received like manna from heaven. Made me think of how much more popular Love were here.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Cool story!
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Also, this: “I don’t buy beer for anyone. I asked you what we were DRINKING!” is brilliant.
	3:44pm bigplanetnoise: That was Sredni Vollmer - he was WITH us that night! RIP, Sredni.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:44 I never knew his name. He and Rick both appeared seriously polluted, but it did not inhibit their playing a bit
	3:45pm Dean: Trying to recall when I first heard this band. Very likely could have been when I saw Easy Rider in '68 or '69. I was way underage, but my parents didn't care, and I went with a friend and his mom. Problem is that at the time I was into Steppenwolf. ("He said, 'Goddamn'!")
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:43 Allen Toussaint arranging?
	♥ 3:47pm Phillippe: howdy
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:44 They were pretty popular. A couple of big pop hits, most of their albums making it into the Top 20
	3:47pm bigplanetnoise: Sredni was a local Woodstock legend. And I’m SURE they were both hammered!!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Phillippe @3:47 Hey Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: ↳ Phillippe @3:47 Hey, Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: there's an echo in here
	3:50pm CalZone!: Ding Dong! Hello Larry!
	3:51pm Matt: Whispering Pines....so good..
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:50 Hey Cal!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Matt @3:51 I love this song
	♥ 3:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @3:46 Allen`s arrangements on this are great: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Jesus, Manuel died in 1986!?!
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:52 He's quoted in the book I'm reading as having loved working on the project.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Brian in UK: There is a certain distance in the production of the first two albums. Rundgrens's work on Stagefright never let that happen.
	♥ 3:54pm Phillippe: ↳ Sem @3:48 Hey Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: They were by far the funkiest band that was not ostensibly a FUNK band
	♥ 3:54pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 Which book is that please?
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:54 Small Town Talk by Barney Hoskyns
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Brian in UK: Dare I write that the Dead hit this vibe on Workingmans & American Beauty.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:55 In some ways, yes, but they never had the bottom that The Band had. Levon had the groove in a big way.
	♥ 3:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: And I say that as a big fan of those two albums (and the Dead in general)
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Hit the vibe but never swallowed it!!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:57 I would nevetr describe Hart or Kreutzman as "funky"
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Brian in UK: Levon playing drums & singing never ceases to amaze.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Sem: That last one I sing full-throated, driving the car, when alone. Not especially in tune, and no special key. Just loud, and joyous.
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 As someone who did it. I can tell you it ain't easy
	4:00pm still b/p: These were all SUCH staples of WBCN in the mid 70s. Firmly woven into radio soundtrack of my yoot.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:59 SPIKE JONES ON THEE BOX
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Sem: Too young and unworldly at the time this came out to revel in the world experience that spawned these songs and lyrics.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:00 Hey SBP! Oneof my birthday presents was a book about WBCN
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 YEAH!
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:01 It's amazing that at this point some of them were 15 years into their careers
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Stage Fright" by "The Band" Oh you remember the first time. Oh Rick.
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:46 I do believe so!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: It's also kind of amazing how the two keyboard players complement each other's playing. Never a wasted note
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 I scarcely knew who Ronnie Hawkins was, even, but the genres and hits and groups where coming fast and furiously out of the AM radio---had to go with the (torrential) flow.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: There were a few Band tunes I hadn't clicky starred yet, fixed that.....
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: It's incredible, how much they've done at this point and its only 1971
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Brian in UK: The dilemma I have had for years is how Robertson could write these gems but never perform them. He needed his band mates to make it happen. But where is the credit for that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Sem: This could veer into zydeco with no problem at all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 Sometimes you write for other people. Burt Bacharach was a brilliant writer but almost exclusively for REAL singers
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: The Moon Struck One always gets me on this album.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 His "bandmates" used to play at the Lone Star Cafe, NYC, do sets of Band material for awhile. Saw them there.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 Funny, I originally wrote colleagues but that seemed wrong!
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 I saw them twice in the early 80s when they were touring with the Cate Brothers
	♥ 4:11pm northguineahills: there was a lot of the Band played in 2020, it's where most of my faves came in on four different shows...
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Toussaint horns here
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Life Is a Carnival" by "The Band" Mr Toussaint again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm doctorjazz: They also did a rotation around the drum, keyboards, a musical musical chairs in shows.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Life Is a Carnival" by "The Band" I'm digging this one.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Sem: Rick Danko – bass, acoustic guitar, vocals Levon Helm – drums, mandolin, bass, vocals Garth Hudson – organ, accordion, piano, saxophones Richard Manuel – piano, drums, marimba, vocals Robbie Robertson – electric and acoustic guitars, piano Additional personnel Allen Toussaint – brass arrangements on "Life Is a Carnival" Van Morrison – vocals on "4% Pantomime" Libby Titus - uncredited backing vocals on "The River Hymn"[16] Mark Harman – engineer
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:12 Great song!
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Sem: Never knew Garth played the sax.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Brian in UK: Garth could play the wind.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: Has anyone sampled that opening?
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:14 Noted, and attributed.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Do It" by "The Band" Wasn't this a cover, Marvin Gaye if I remember correctly (I heard that way after the Band's version)
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:17 Yes, Marvin
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sem @4:13 Yup, pretty good sax player, he'd do an occasional solo.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Do It" by "The Band" Robbie rockin' out!
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:12 Richard to drums Levon to Mandolin Rick to piano.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "It Makes No Difference" by "The Band" This kills me!
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 Yup, it was cool to watch!
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:20 Sad song
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Brian in UK: Garth wandering in from right of stage playing accordian like someone had left the stage door open & he was busking it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Some voices get you right to the core. Rick Danko's is one of those to me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:24 Yup! Levon ain't half bad either...
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:24 You bet.
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm Brian in UK: Timelessness?
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:24 A lot of soul in Danko's voice
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" Dylan co-composer.
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Yup!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: The brilliant Clarence White on guitar
	♥ 4:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" absolutely fabulous...
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:35 My favorite Byrds album
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm zzz: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" great, all time song that reminds me of Absolutely Fabulous every time i hear it haha. this version rips
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @4:35 Didn't AbFab use the Julie Driscoll version?
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" Talking of prolific albums per year. This was the Byrds' eighth? in four years. Everyone different. This the Byrds that could play live.
	♥ 4:37pm Discotech Underground: What's up, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:37 Hey Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip at 5PM ET! wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 A lot of evolution in those years, too
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Brian in UK: TDN got on the "Band"wagon early.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Fifty years since Clarence was killed.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Brian in UK: Larry, thanks for a great show. Still do not understand why they move me so much. What the heck!
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:39 They cover Neil Young's 'The Loner' on this album. The shrink wrap was barely off his album!
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 My pleasure!
	♥ 4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 yep!

	♥ 4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: That was a wonderful show! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:47 Another resident of Woodstock (for a time)
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks, Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Station" by "Karen Dalton" I think it really loses without the harmonies (but that's just me).
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: thanks, Larry. This was great!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by "Jimmie H... Larry was going to mention this earlier. How do you ever get the record out of the sleeve?

Listener comments!
	♥ 3:01pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Larry and all other listeners!
	3:01pm bradford: Greetings Larry & fellow Testifiers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Sem: Hawks. OK, alright, loved those guys. Hey, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm WR: OK, the TOPTodd interview with Robertson re-ran on Tuesday primed me for this for sure.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Andrew! bradford! Sem! WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry! Hi all!
	♥ 3:02pm dreamyandseedy: hello Larry and everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Yvang! dreamy!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm WR: On social media I saw a photo of The Hawks in something like '62 before Hudson had a beard. Lemmee see if I can find it.
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:04 Is it the one where they're all sitting on barstools?
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Brian in UK: What was it about the Hawks/Band. Three singers, musical competence & a love of music. Remember the first time I heard them on John Peel's Top Gear show playing the Weight. Enigmatic & soulful. Oh & hello Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm zzz: hey @F16C and folks!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:04 Hey Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 Yes, that one.
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @3:04 Hey zzz!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:01 Sem, been a prolific year for fruits.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:05 It's pretty wild, they're so clean cut
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Erica: Afternoon Larry. I hope you enjoyed your birthday
	♥ 3:07pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "Up On Cripple Creek" by "Buckaroos" incredible
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: The Band seemed to come fully formed. Now I understand working with Ronnie Hawkins & Dylan brought them to that point.
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:06 Hi Erica! Thank you, I did!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dreamyandseedy @3:07 The fuzztone is wild!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:05 Aye, aye, Capt. Brian. My favourite orchard owner observed the same as I began my weekly pilgrimages Saturday last for the fruit presently burgeoning.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Levon hated playing behind Dylan. It made hi quit the group for a while
	3:09pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm doctorjazz: Tuesday we had the Robbie Robertson interview rebrodcast, expecting a great show today (what could be bad?). Hi Larry and all! (Todophonic Todd's interview) wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hey Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:09 Hey Doc!
	3:09pm bigplanetnoise: Hey docjazz!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hello Bob!
	♥ 3:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:09 Hi bpn!
	3:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon all... got all the speakers on while I make a batch of protein chips and copious amounts of tuna and catfish :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:11 Hey Vincent!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 ok, it is easily available, someone put it on discogs for Levon and The Hawks: i.discogs.com... i.discogs.com...
	3:12pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Brian in UK: Good lord Plastic Penny on Larry Page's label. Think they also recorded Everything I Am.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Featuring Nigel Olsson!
	3:14pm Dean: Plainly, the other Larry Page.
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Brian in UK: Elton would have liked the Band.
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:14 How many Larry Pages are there?
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 He must have. Lots of intersections in their respective sounds
	3:16pm Dean: Hint: Google "larry page"
	♥ 3:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @3:16 but my chrome isn't paginated.....
	♥ 3:20pm northguineahills: i hate it when I get stuck w/ a drug infestation!
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 Gotta call the drugs-terminator
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Brian in UK: Larry, agree with you about Robertson. Found the Last Waltz to be about the Band being their own tribute band. So many confused feelings about him. His talent cannot be denied. Thought his guitar solos were laboured. (Spoiler: not a big electric guitar fan).
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Erica: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" Take a load off, Annie
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:16 Oh, that guy...
	♥ 3:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" yep, i played big pink in full when volunteering monday night at the shelter...
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm WR: And despite each member of The Band having top and distinctive talents, at the key steps of hooking up with Hawkins and later with Dylan it was Robertson that Hawkins and Dylan first called on. And I think of Robertson more as a songwriter than a guitarist, but that may just be me.
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band" the little high pitched falsetto hum just KILLS me! (I read the staggered harmony at the end of the chorus hadn't been planned, just "happened".
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @3:24 I'd not disparage his guitar playing, but he falls into what some have called "feel" (as opposed to "technique"). Think Creedence/John Fogerty
	3:26pm Dean: I'm always confusing Robertson with Paco de Lucía.
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: I love a lot of his lead playing. Fits in perfectly with the overall sound.
	♥ 3:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:26 Yes!
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: There are parts of this where it sounds like Garth is playing a pump organ, and Robertson is playing through a Leslie
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Brian in UK: Is Garth devining for water in the photograph?
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 He just finished giving Danko a whippin'
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Jeff Ash: Good afternoon from Wisconsin, everyone!
	♥ 3:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 ha! it does look like a water dowsing stick, there!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:32 Hiya Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:33 Hey NGH!
	♥ 3:34pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Robbie`s playing on this is great: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: Tarred and feathered, yeah, thistles and thorns...
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" The guitar playing on this track is killer as well (the solo).
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:34 I have to look for that!
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Brian in UK: When Big Pink was released it was welcomed with open arms (Clapton etc) though it was so out of time with current trends it must have seemed like a palette cleanser.
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" The maestro has entered the room...
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Garth is the last surviving member...
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:38 This song is pure joy
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:38 You bet. Either the New Year concert or the Royal Albert Hall were peerless.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: I'm reading a book about the Woodstock NY scene in the 60s and 70s and Maria Muldaur talks about living next door to Garth Hudson and awakening in the mornings to his playing Bach on the organ
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:39 I was at the New Year's Eve Concert, Bob Dylan came out for the encores! (1971 Academy of Music NYC).
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Wow!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 I saw Dean there (he's been to every concert ever held, you know...)
	♥ 3:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:39 great way to wake up!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Were those the Rock Of Ages shows?
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:41 He didn't enjoy it.
	3:42pm Dean: I remember bumping into you there, doctorjazz. Funny, but we called you that even before medical school.
	3:42pm bigplanetnoise: Rick D used to live pretty close to me here upstate. He was a WONDERFUL guy. About 30 years ago (gulp), we were working together on a taping for local PBS radio show. After the recording, Rick looked at me and my brother-in-law and said, “you guys want to get a drink?” We headed out to the street and I started toward a fairly nice place - a local musicians’ hang. Rick said, “Not there - over there…” and pointed to a notorious, loud biker bar just down the road. We walked in and he said, “I’m buying - what are you guys drinking?” I said, “I’ll just have whatever’s on tap.” Rick said, “I don’t buy beer for anyone. I asked you what we were DRINKING!” And the night went from there. Bet - I’ll never forget it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:41 She said it was beautiful
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 I don't think so, I believe it was later, not sure though. (I saw them a few times, once in a double bill with the Grateful Dead).
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: This show is making it really hard to get back to work...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 They did have the horn section...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Whoa. That's amazing. Oneof my fave shows was Danko and a tiny, tubercular looking harmonica player at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park, NJ. He was a riot.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Brian in UK: How popular were the Band at the time in the USA. I was at the Albert Hall gig & every song was received like manna from heaven. Made me think of how much more popular Love were here.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Cool story!
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:42 Also, this: “I don’t buy beer for anyone. I asked you what we were DRINKING!” is brilliant.
	3:44pm bigplanetnoise: That was Sredni Vollmer - he was WITH us that night! RIP, Sredni.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bigplanetnoise @3:44 I never knew his name. He and Rick both appeared seriously polluted, but it did not inhibit their playing a bit
	3:45pm Dean: Trying to recall when I first heard this band. Very likely could have been when I saw Easy Rider in '68 or '69. I was way underage, but my parents didn't care, and I went with a friend and his mom. Problem is that at the time I was into Steppenwolf. ("He said, 'Goddamn'!")
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:43 Allen Toussaint arranging?
	♥ 3:47pm Phillippe: howdy
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:44 They were pretty popular. A couple of big pop hits, most of their albums making it into the Top 20
	3:47pm bigplanetnoise: Sredni was a local Woodstock legend. And I’m SURE they were both hammered!!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Phillippe @3:47 Hey Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: ↳ Phillippe @3:47 Hey, Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: there's an echo in here
	3:50pm CalZone!: Ding Dong! Hello Larry!
	3:51pm Matt: Whispering Pines....so good..
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:50 Hey Cal!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Matt @3:51 I love this song
	♥ 3:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @3:46 Allen`s arrangements on this are great: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Jesus, Manuel died in 1986!?!
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:52 He's quoted in the book I'm reading as having loved working on the project.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Brian in UK: There is a certain distance in the production of the first two albums. Rundgrens's work on Stagefright never let that happen.
	♥ 3:54pm Phillippe: ↳ Sem @3:48 Hey Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: They were by far the funkiest band that was not ostensibly a FUNK band
	♥ 3:54pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 Which book is that please?
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:54 Small Town Talk by Barney Hoskyns
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Brian in UK: Dare I write that the Dead hit this vibe on Workingmans & American Beauty.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:55 In some ways, yes, but they never had the bottom that The Band had. Levon had the groove in a big way.
	♥ 3:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: And I say that as a big fan of those two albums (and the Dead in general)
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Hit the vibe but never swallowed it!!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:57 I would nevetr describe Hart or Kreutzman as "funky"
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Brian in UK: Levon playing drums & singing never ceases to amaze.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Sem: That last one I sing full-throated, driving the car, when alone. Not especially in tune, and no special key. Just loud, and joyous.
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 As someone who did it. I can tell you it ain't easy
	4:00pm still b/p: These were all SUCH staples of WBCN in the mid 70s. Firmly woven into radio soundtrack of my yoot.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:59 SPIKE JONES ON THEE BOX
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Sem: Too young and unworldly at the time this came out to revel in the world experience that spawned these songs and lyrics.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:00 Hey SBP! Oneof my birthday presents was a book about WBCN
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 YEAH!
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:01 It's amazing that at this point some of them were 15 years into their careers
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Stage Fright" by "The Band" Oh you remember the first time. Oh Rick.
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:46 I do believe so!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: It's also kind of amazing how the two keyboard players complement each other's playing. Never a wasted note
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 I scarcely knew who Ronnie Hawkins was, even, but the genres and hits and groups where coming fast and furiously out of the AM radio---had to go with the (torrential) flow.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: There were a few Band tunes I hadn't clicky starred yet, fixed that.....
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: It's incredible, how much they've done at this point and its only 1971
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Brian in UK: The dilemma I have had for years is how Robertson could write these gems but never perform them. He needed his band mates to make it happen. But where is the credit for that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Sem: This could veer into zydeco with no problem at all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 Sometimes you write for other people. Burt Bacharach was a brilliant writer but almost exclusively for REAL singers
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: The Moon Struck One always gets me on this album.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 His "bandmates" used to play at the Lone Star Cafe, NYC, do sets of Band material for awhile. Saw them there.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 Funny, I originally wrote colleagues but that seemed wrong!
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 I saw them twice in the early 80s when they were touring with the Cate Brothers
	♥ 4:11pm northguineahills: there was a lot of the Band played in 2020, it's where most of my faves came in on four different shows...
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Toussaint horns here
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Life Is a Carnival" by "The Band" Mr Toussaint again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm doctorjazz: They also did a rotation around the drum, keyboards, a musical musical chairs in shows.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Life Is a Carnival" by "The Band" I'm digging this one.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Sem: Rick Danko – bass, acoustic guitar, vocals Levon Helm – drums, mandolin, bass, vocals Garth Hudson – organ, accordion, piano, saxophones Richard Manuel – piano, drums, marimba, vocals Robbie Robertson – electric and acoustic guitars, piano Additional personnel Allen Toussaint – brass arrangements on "Life Is a Carnival" Van Morrison – vocals on "4% Pantomime" Libby Titus - uncredited backing vocals on "The River Hymn"[16] Mark Harman – engineer
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:12 Great song!
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Sem: Never knew Garth played the sax.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Brian in UK: Garth could play the wind.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: Has anyone sampled that opening?
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:14 Noted, and attributed.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Do It" by "The Band" Wasn't this a cover, Marvin Gaye if I remember correctly (I heard that way after the Band's version)
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:17 Yes, Marvin
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sem @4:13 Yup, pretty good sax player, he'd do an occasional solo.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Do It" by "The Band" Robbie rockin' out!
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:12 Richard to drums Levon to Mandolin Rick to piano.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "It Makes No Difference" by "The Band" This kills me!
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 Yup, it was cool to watch!
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:20 Sad song
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Brian in UK: Garth wandering in from right of stage playing accordian like someone had left the stage door open & he was busking it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Some voices get you right to the core. Rick Danko's is one of those to me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:24 Yup! Levon ain't half bad either...
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:24 You bet.
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm Brian in UK: Timelessness?
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:24 A lot of soul in Danko's voice
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" Dylan co-composer.
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Yup!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: The brilliant Clarence White on guitar
	♥ 4:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" absolutely fabulous...
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:35 My favorite Byrds album
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm zzz: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" great, all time song that reminds me of Absolutely Fabulous every time i hear it haha. this version rips
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ zzz @4:35 Didn't AbFab use the Julie Driscoll version?
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "This Wheel's On Fire" by "The Byrds" Talking of prolific albums per year. This was the Byrds' eighth? in four years. Everyone different. This the Byrds that could play live.
	♥ 4:37pm Discotech Underground: What's up, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:37 Hey Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip at 5PM ET! wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 A lot of evolution in those years, too
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Brian in UK: TDN got on the "Band"wagon early.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Fifty years since Clarence was killed.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Brian in UK: Larry, thanks for a great show. Still do not understand why they move me so much. What the heck!
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:39 They cover Neil Young's 'The Loner' on this album. The shrink wrap was barely off his album!
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 My pleasure!
	♥ 4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 yep!
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Brian in UK: Rising a glass of Mashbill to Rick & co.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 Me too, just hits that spot! Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tears of Rage" by "Ian and Sylvia" Another Dylan co-composition.
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Glad you dug it!
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In a Station" by "Karen Dalton" Karen!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm zzz: ↳ Song: "In a Station" by "Karen Dalton" oooooh that’s a good one
	♥ 4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: That was a wonderful show! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:47 Another resident of Woodstock (for a time)
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks, Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Station" by "Karen Dalton" I think it really loses without the harmonies (but that's just me).
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: thanks, Larry. This was great!
