	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:03 Hey Andrew!
	🥁 3:04pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Andrew, Sem, Jeff, Erica, Bradford, Yvang and all to come!
	3:04pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hi there, Clark!
	3:05pm bradford: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Howdy Clark!
	3:05pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hey Clark!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hi Doc!
	3:06pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Back In the USSR" by "Ramsey Lewis" Love this album!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:06 Hi Bri! It is a stone classic!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Brad Meldhau did a Beatles cover album not too long ago-his version of I Am The Walrus on solo piano is just amazing (don't know if you have it programmed for today, just sayin')
	3:06pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 Heck yeah it is!
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: I have been working on my next record sale list and it is large lots of 45s by artists. One of them is George Benson and the oldest 45 of his I have is an A&M DJ only (I think) of his "Golden Slumbers/You Never Give me Your Money Medley" from his LP "The Other Side of Abbey Road." Pretty cool to have that 45.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:06 I haven't heard it. I'll look for it.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: Hi Bri, drJ!!
	3:07pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 Hey Clark!
	3:08pm krutzo: hi!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ krutzo @3:08 Hi krutzo!
	3:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 Here's the YouTube video for it (can send you the album if you'd like, let me know). youtu.be...
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:12 I would appreciate that!
	3:14pm krutzo: these strings! woah..
	🥁 3:15pm WLSClark: Hi krutzo.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ krutzo @3:14 Produced and arranged by the great Don Sebesky
	🥁 3:19pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & Beatalists. Guessing that you could do one month of Beatles covers.
	3:20pm Erica: Beatle Jazz is wild.
	🥁 3:20pm Brian in UK: Pre-sales were in seven figures.
	3:21pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @3:19 I wanted to do a theme on soulful Beatles songs!
	🥁 3:22pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:21 I think that the quality of the recordings makes them timeless. Like any good music.
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:21 This past Monday, on my long running soul/funk show I did a soul Beatles show: f16cradio.wordpress.com...
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:19 Hey Brian!
	3:25pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all! Dreary March day 'round here. These covers are providing the needed uplift. Thanks, Larry
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @3:25 Hey Kevin!
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: Hi Brian and Kevin. World Pacific was such a great label. Richard 'Groove" Holmes a fave on it.
	3:26pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 Awesome!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 I did an all-World Pacific show two years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 3:28pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 Would love to see a Pacific Jazz/World show(s). Is that subtle enough!!!
	3:28pm Mike Sin: As I'm a full-on tiresome BeatlesGeek®, I'll be cranking up this show... until I have to jump into the work morass at 4pm.
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:28 See the link I just posted!
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:28 Hey Mike!
	🥁 3:31pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 Larry, ofcourse. I was there but there is so much more. They were all over the place.
	🥁 3:32pm Mollywog: Hey all, happy Thursday!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:31 Yes, indeed. Much more ground to cover.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:32 Hi Mollywog!
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Interesting. Jazz is not generally my thing, but on occasions like this and when feeling the spirit.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 It's a lot easier to dig when the material is so familiar
	🥁 3:34pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except Me And ... The intro was weird!
	3:34pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 I used to be the same way, I could only listen to jazz during Christmas time or Night time, then I became A beatnik
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: The drumming on this album is amazing.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:34 There's a lot of interstitial synthesizer bits on this album
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:34 Jazz is, of course, a cornerstone of the beatnik life.
	3:36pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 For sure is!
	🥁 3:36pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 For a second I was thinking of Ray Cathode!
	🥁 3:42pm Mollywog: How is it that I've never heard this Ella Fitzgerald version? This is great.
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: Crunchy frog anyone?
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:42 The album it's from is fantastic: www.discogs.com...
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 You know how many years I listened to that song before I realized it was about a box of candy? MANY YEARS
	🥁 3:45pm Mollywog: Hate to admit it, but me too....
	3:45pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 And Eric Clapton's teeth!
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:45 Yuck...
	3:45pm Erica: ↳ Mollywog @3:42 I never heard that song before period. But I enjoyed Ella's take on it.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Larry that has happened to me. Cannot recall an example now but you suddenly listen & go. Oh Yeah get it.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Your Mother Should Know" by "Bud Shank" Love this (the original is jazz adjacent, not that much of a stretch for a jazz version)
	3:46pm Bri The Beatnik: There’s a trial pursuit category in the music edition called “Your mother should know” I tell mom it should be stuff she knows. But since the game came out 40 years ago, it would probably be stuff my Grandma knew. Her memory isn’t what it used to be, yet I bet I could get those questions now!
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 The original is on the White Album
	3:46pm Mike Sin: ↳ doctorjazz @3:45 I always considered the original track Davy Jones adjacent!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:46 Def in his tiny, English wheelhouse
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:46 I'm at the age now where I'm realizing that a lot of my pop culture touchstones have been forgotten by most of the population
	3:48pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 There are two songs I always hear with other singers taking it in my head: Your Mother Should Know - Davy Jones Born on the Bayou - Wilson Pickett
	🥁 3:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Mike Sin @3:46 You had to have an English connection for the Monkees.
	3:48pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Truly Sad, I showed my friend’s brother a Beatles song, and he said it wasn’t his cup of tea. 😢
	3:49pm Bri The Beatnik: Another one of my classmates didn’t know who John Lennon was
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:48 Good call on the Pickett
	3:50pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "The Fool On the Hill" by "Frank Wess" Different than the expected Sergio Mendes take
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:50 This is a nice album, recorded in Muscle Shoals for a Stax subsidiary
	🥁 3:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Tell the kids of today that & that will not know what you are talking about. Think back fifty five years from these albums & it is 1915.
	🥁 3:51pm Mollywog: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:50 Lol Brian!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:51 I remember reading that Bill Wyman was born closer to the end of the Civil War than today.
	3:51pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Nice!
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:49 Wow. Even I know of John Lennon.
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Was that the Stones civil war!!!
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 It's a testament to the ephemeral nature of pop culture that 55 years ago the Beatles were just about the most famous people in the world. Today not so much.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:52 I think Keef fought for the Confederacy
	3:54pm Webhamster Henry: I yam melowin' out with the soft sounds of the Beatles.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @3:54 Hi Henry!
	3:55pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 😂😂
	3:55pm Bri The Beatnik: I heard Keef was a huge fan of Pre-war or WW11 blues
	3:57pm Bri The Beatnik: Fan
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:55 He used to curl Mozart's hair and tune Tchaikovsky's piano (before tuning Robert Johnson's guitar)> Keith has always been with us....
	3:57pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 True, and he always will be
	3:58pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 I was even then impressed with the speed and spread of Beatle tunes, Dylan tunes, Simon & Garfunkel tunes to muzak orchestras world wide.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @3:58 Next week I'm doing another show of ostensibly un-hip types doing hip music
	4:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Testify indeed!
	4:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry and all
	4:00pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Awesome! I also love those “on the rocks” albums ultra Lounge put out
	4:00pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Coel!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:00 Hi C!
	4:01pm Erica: Get back Jojo
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Slowly watching the Get Back documentary, very interesting...
	4:02pm Bri The Beatnik: Funny enough, the Friend’s brother that I showed the Beatles too, his nickname was JoJo!
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: Oddly John Coltrane covered My Favourite Things not sure if he covered John & Paul. Though Miles covered Cyndi Lauper.
	4:03pm Bri The Beatnik: Planning on watching Yesterday with Dad
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:34 So, since I am older than beatniks as I knew them (Maynard G Crbbs), is Beatnik really a term still today?
	4:03pm Erica: I haven't heard the Beatles original version of Get Back in years.
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 That's true. My brother called, so I missed comments for last 20 minutes.
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 Not really, the only other Beatnik I can think of nowadays was my old writer friend, we identified with the Beatniks because of their love of jazz and poetry
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 Plus I brought it back as my Dj moniker
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Fascinating--BUT I could not spend that much time watching whole things again.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:04 Just wondered, as I was of the hippie era which seemed somewhat like beatniks, but after I grew up, realized it was NOT the same.
	🥁 4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:03 You mean that MOVIE Yesterday from 5 years ago? It WAS interesting idea, I guess.
	4:08pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 True, I went through a hippie phase in high school myself, as did all the older kids I looked up to did, yet Beatnim has a better moniker as I identify more with them than I do Hippie nowadays
	4:08pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 Yeah, it’s finally on Netflix
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: I was watching the original 'Hairspray' with one of my sons the other day and had to explain the beatnik couple played bu Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora
	🥁 4:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Strange a documentary about the Beatles most lacklustre album. Appreciate that it is about the recording process.
	🥁 4:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:08 I wish it would not have had that red haired big star in it, otherwise it was ok, I guess.
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:08 Im still not sure ANYONE in this age can really BE a hippie or beatnik like the 60s. Hard to wrap my head around that. Have you heard Ken Nordine's Word Jazz stuff?
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Beatnik was also a pejorative started by Herb Caen to put down the Beats as commie sympathizers
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:09 Yeah, the big draw back there. I also thought, "I wish we had this for the early Lps."
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: I think this is the best track from this album
	4:12pm Erica: My dad called Beatniks the "first hippies", meaning the beatnik predated the hippie.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 This after Young-Holt split away?
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 There were folks still believing the Rock 'n Roll ethic in the early Seventies. And why not Eddie Cochran was boss.
	4:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:00 hi Bri!
	4:12pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 I’ve heard of him! I’ll have to check that one out. I went through a huge beatnik deep dive my senior year. It was the only thing to keep me sane.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 Oh yeah, a few years later
	🥁 4:13pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:12 It will be intriguing to you, I promise!
	🥁 4:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:11 Think that Abbey Road equivalent would have been interesting.
	4:14pm Bri The Beatnik: I first discovered Beatniks in a fashion history book, then dad explained them to me. It wasn’t until I became a poet and looked up to this girl in high school that identified with the Beat Generation, I wanted to be like her, so it stuck
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:13 Give me six hours on Revolver
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 i don't know how you do that! i wouldn't go to bed 'till i'd watched the whole thing
	4:14pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:13 Cool!
	🥁 4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:13 Abbey Road way down on my Beatles list.
	4:15pm Bri The Beatnik: I quite like that Del close and John Brent Speak hip album. And I have Rhino’s beat generation booklet
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Only six hours, you mean just Tomorrow Never.....
	🥁 4:16pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:14 Believe me IT WAS HARD to stop watching that 6 hours, but even tho totally interesting, it was also SO tiring that I could not believe after 2hours how it seemed like 4.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:14 My thinking is that it was their last album so potentially more conflict.
	🥁 4:17pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:14 Ken Nordin'e Dot stuff was the ERA of the Beatnik so you get THE REAL DEAL, I think.
	4:17pm WTF_Chuck: Cool show, Larry. Nice to hear these covers. I still have a few things I picked as a young Beatles obsessed jazz head years ago. Wes Montgomery and George Benson still get a spin form time to time. Can't go wrong with Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. Also recently grabbed the "Let it Be: Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison" due to hearing on some WFMU program. (Was it yours?) Includes Ella doing Savoy Truffle.
	4:18pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:17 Yes! Agreed. I love all things Beat Generation, be it Authentic or Beatsploitation
	🥁 4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:17 I saw enough of that in original 'let it Be" film. It was truly upsetting for a 14 year old living in Beatles fantasy world.
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:17 Abbey Road was the last album Let It Be was released last but recorded before
	🥁 4:19pm Brian in UK: Cannot imagine watching Let It Be. Rather do the washing up. I mean he make The Hobbit into three films.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:17 Thanks, Chuck! I have def played a ton of Beatle covers on Testify! over the years. I did shows devoted to Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and The White Album
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 I found the Jackson doc to be a little too much.
	4:20pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Oddly enough, I have never seen the original Let it Be movie. Had no interest when I was a young fan after reading about it. Later, I could never find it. I have watch the Get Back one a couple of times. I may be ready now (at age 58) to watch Let it Be. Not sure.
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:16 i actually may have watched it in 2 nights...but then i re-watched a few sections, mostly to jack soundbites from it!
	🥁 4:21pm David Shortell: I notice this playlist concentrates on the group's latter work-- Revolver and later.
	🥁 4:21pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 Did anyone go to see the Beatles film show touring the country in late 70s "Away With Words"? What a strange thing that was with multiple projectors and stuff.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:21 Hi David! Yes it does.
	4:22pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:18 Of course I prefer the authentic Beat Generation writings, I tried to read “Beatsploitation Pulp” but thought they all read the same, however the Beatsploitation B movies and records are fun
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 It DID become stressful, actually, despite wanting to know IT ALL!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:21 That doesn't ring a bell. Sounds interesting
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 Jackson, as in Michael? ...Brian? Milt? Joe? Wanda? Action? ...
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:20 Dont bother. Get back covered so much more and more positive.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:22 Have you read Chandler Brossard, John Clellon Holmes or Herbert Huncke?
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:22 Peter, stretcher of Hobbits and Beatles
	4:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:05 Watching it in very small bites, spread apart (I'm the only one in the house interested, so I watch when no one else is around).
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:22 It was more BIZARRE actually than interesting. You came out going "What was going on there?"
	🥁 4:24pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:21 Missed that one, thankfully!
	4:24pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 Read a bit of the later Two, have not heard of Chandler Broussard before, I’ll have to check into his writings!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:24 Brossard is hard to find these days but worth it
	4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:09 Watching them bicker and work things out is fascinating (and how bad things start out, then sort of click at some point). And George walking out...
	4:25pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:25 I bet! I’ll have to see if my state library system has any of his books
	4:25pm doctorjazz: Love Sarah!
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:18 I had actually planned to use some of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz on my drop in last time, but ran out of time.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:25 "Who Walk In Darkness" is the one to look for
	🥁 4:27pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 Do you want to see behind the curtain?
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 That's a really nice album
	4:28pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Thanks for the recommendation!
	🥁 4:28pm WLSClark: The thing I like when hearing jazz is like this kind--melodic. Some of the off beat and seemingly non-harmonic stuff just grates at me. i know people enjoy it, but it has to be melodic like these today for me to sit and listen.
	4:28pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 Aww man, :( I’m thinking of using “Mamie van doormen’s Bear generation” as my theme song
	🥁 4:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:25 I know that Richard Brautigan is of a later age but somehow feel that he has that beatnik sensibility.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:28 "The Bold Saboteurs" is also great, and both of the novels I mentioned appear to have been reprinted in the 2000s
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:28 Are you going to do a drop in?
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 oh,"get back". never paid any attention to who made the movie!
	4:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 Will have to check into his work too!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 He absolutely does. LOVE Brautigan.
	4:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:29 No, I’m getting my own
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 I have 3 LP box sets of Sassy, but mostly earlier stuff...also some Pablo stuff.
	🥁 4:30pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:30 Cool!
	4:31pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:30 Thanks! I’m super excited about it
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: As Larry's theme says "Gotta go." Bye all and sorry if I talk too much. :)
	4:31pm Bri The Beatnik: Aww, bye Clark, hope to see you later!
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: Love the comments, it sometimes feels like a conversation in real time.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:31 Bye Clark! I enjoy your contributions!
	4:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @4:32 For sure!
	🥁 4:32pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:31 Thanks, but probably wont listen until Monday. Going to Iowa for Easter and cousin's 80th. I get the treatment next week--68.
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:32 A mere stripling.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 maybe because ive heard about how bad the bickering is in the let it be movie (which i've still never seen) i actually expected much worse. -although it does demonstrate what an asshole Paul was to George; but i think George came out looking good after all; and it validates my disgust of yoko ono (for those who really pay attention)
	4:35pm Jeff Ash: The time has come for me to say "Hello Goodbye." Thanks, Larry!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:35 Take it easy, Jeff! Keep that foot elevated!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 Recommend this as a fun read. www.ebay.co.uk...
	4:36pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:32 Ok, have fun, and happy early birthday! (Younger than my dad!)
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 That looks interesting!
	4:39pm Bri The Beatnik: Just put “Who walk in darkness” on hold! :)
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:39 Excellent!
	🥁 4:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 Never knew that George schtupped Ringo's wife.
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 I don't know, Yoko (who I have no strong affinity for), seems pretty benign in Get Back. I mean, she's THERE all the time, hanging on, in everyone's face, but she is pretty quiet and doesn't seem to make any trouble...
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 Me neither!
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 He wanted to hook John & succeeded.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 Yoko makes me say OH NO, but the Beatles were good and rotten by the time she rolled around. I don't blame her at all.
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: Let's hear it for Uncle Michael singing Oh Yoko.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:42 I have to go back and check that out
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Tomorrow Never Knows" by "Don Randi Trio" Now this is a tough one to cover.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Hang in there...
	4:46pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Brian in UK @4:42 Yeah! And the tantalizing reveal ;-)
	4:46pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Oh, my. This. Reverend Larry, you have the best church music.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:46 Glad you're digging it!
	4:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 Thanks ! (i think!) i wont click the link from this computer but i'll check it out later
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: It is amazing that two Liverpool lads could match the song writing & longevity from America in the 30s & 40s.
	4:48pm Mike Sin: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 If you've listened to original Nagras reel like I've for way too many and gone insane, you'll hear that Yoko had so much to say throughout the whole Get Back sessions... Jackson's film was great, but he edited Yoko completely out and created a bit of an overcorrection... She even had a lot to say during the "hidden flower pot microphone" section, but she was cut out of that as well.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 That is intriguing.
	4:48pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 Paul was definitely a task master (aka asshole.) Watching the interactions in Get Back, I gained an even deeper appreciation for what (Brian) Mr. Epstein was able to accomplish with the four personalities, even after their remarkable success at such a young age.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 nor did i; but then Ringo wasn't faithful either!
	🥁 4:50pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 You know what it is like all those chicks throwing themselves at you!!!
	4:51pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Been listening while I prepare my show...fun stuff! Lots of covers I have never heard before or even knew existed! Stick around for Discotech Underground, immediately following! wfmu.org...
	4:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:48 The truth is somewhere down the middle... Paul's personality can be overbearing because "work" probably gives him the most pleasure in life, but... nothing would have happened in BeatlesWorld after the White Album if he didn't take the reins in some fashion... The dude was always loaded with songs....
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: Larry, love all the hard work you put in. Priceless.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Steve Gadd on drums!
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 it's subtle... but she was selfish and manipulative toi be there at all. she was NOT concerned about what was best for John. he was bamboozled!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:51 Hey Kip!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 Hmmm, interesting, you'd have no idea Yoko was involved watching Get Back...
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 I agree 1,000%
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Thanks Brian!
	4:52pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 Interesting. Not familiar with those tapes. Not surprised by any of your points.. As a young Beatles fan, I used to wonder if the Beatles would be studied for generations, as the great composers have been , Mozart, etc. And as I get older, it seems that the answer is yes, to at least some degree.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:50 Yeah, but I just let it slide off me... ;- )
	4:53pm Mike Sin: Great show today Larry -- I'm glad I was able to catch most of it.
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: Geoff Emerick's book tells of how yoko waited until all of them were up in the control booth to walk across the room and steal George's crackers, instead of asking. they all saw it through the glass and George said "That Bitch!" no one argued, not even John!
	4:54pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 Agreed! Paul kept things together as bast as he could, given who he was/is.
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:52 People were make those comments in the late Sixties & were poo poo'd at the time. Who could know.
	4:55pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Another book that has been on my wish list. Thanks for the reminder..
	4:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 It does seem that way; he is "bossy", but on the other hand, he pushes to get something done (John is happy knocking off 50's pop/rock hits).
	4:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:50 i don't know how i would've handled it. no, actually i do!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:48 yeah Mr. Epstein was a bit of a miracle worker
	4:56pm WTF_Chuck: Have a great evening everyone! Fun show and discussion. BEATLES FOREVER!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:53 Thanks Mike!
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:57pm Erica: Happy Easter to those who celebrate. 🐰🐣
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 i have Great respect for Paul -more than ever in fact; but he pulled some dickish stunts too
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	4:57pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great episode! Thanks, Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:57 Thanks Andrew!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 That's hilarious. YOKO STOLE MY CRACKERS!

	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hi Doc!
	3:06pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Back In the USSR" by "Ramsey Lewis" Love this album!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:06 Hi Bri! It is a stone classic!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Brad Meldhau did a Beatles cover album not too long ago-his version of I Am The Walrus on solo piano is just amazing (don't know if you have it programmed for today, just sayin')
	3:06pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 Heck yeah it is!
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: I have been working on my next record sale list and it is large lots of 45s by artists. One of them is George Benson and the oldest 45 of his I have is an A&M DJ only (I think) of his "Golden Slumbers/You Never Give me Your Money Medley" from his LP "The Other Side of Abbey Road." Pretty cool to have that 45.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:06 I haven't heard it. I'll look for it.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: Hi Bri, drJ!!
	3:07pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 Hey Clark!
	3:08pm krutzo: hi!

	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:12 I would appreciate that!
	3:14pm krutzo: these strings! woah..
	🥁 3:15pm WLSClark: Hi krutzo.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ krutzo @3:14 Produced and arranged by the great Don Sebesky
	🥁 3:19pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & Beatalists. Guessing that you could do one month of Beatles covers.
	3:20pm Erica: Beatle Jazz is wild.
	🥁 3:20pm Brian in UK: Pre-sales were in seven figures.
	3:21pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @3:19 I wanted to do a theme on soulful Beatles songs!
	🥁 3:22pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:21 I think that the quality of the recordings makes them timeless. Like any good music.
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:21 This past Monday, on my long running soul/funk show I did a soul Beatles show: f16cradio.wordpress.com...
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:19 Hey Brian!
	3:25pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all! Dreary March day 'round here. These covers are providing the needed uplift. Thanks, Larry
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @3:25 Hey Kevin!
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: Hi Brian and Kevin. World Pacific was such a great label. Richard 'Groove" Holmes a fave on it.
	3:26pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 Awesome!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 I did an all-World Pacific show two years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 3:28pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 Would love to see a Pacific Jazz/World show(s). Is that subtle enough!!!
	3:28pm Mike Sin: As I'm a full-on tiresome BeatlesGeek®, I'll be cranking up this show... until I have to jump into the work morass at 4pm.
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:28 See the link I just posted!
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:28 Hey Mike!
	🥁 3:31pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 Larry, ofcourse. I was there but there is so much more. They were all over the place.
	🥁 3:32pm Mollywog: Hey all, happy Thursday!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:31 Yes, indeed. Much more ground to cover.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:32 Hi Mollywog!
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Interesting. Jazz is not generally my thing, but on occasions like this and when feeling the spirit.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 It's a lot easier to dig when the material is so familiar
	🥁 3:34pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except Me And ... The intro was weird!
	3:34pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 I used to be the same way, I could only listen to jazz during Christmas time or Night time, then I became A beatnik
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: The drumming on this album is amazing.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:34 There's a lot of interstitial synthesizer bits on this album
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:34 Jazz is, of course, a cornerstone of the beatnik life.
	3:36pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 For sure is!
	🥁 3:36pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 For a second I was thinking of Ray Cathode!
	🥁 3:42pm Mollywog: How is it that I've never heard this Ella Fitzgerald version? This is great.
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: Crunchy frog anyone?
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:42 The album it's from is fantastic: www.discogs.com...
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 You know how many years I listened to that song before I realized it was about a box of candy? MANY YEARS
	🥁 3:45pm Mollywog: Hate to admit it, but me too....
	3:45pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 And Eric Clapton's teeth!
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:45 Yuck...
	3:45pm Erica: ↳ Mollywog @3:42 I never heard that song before period. But I enjoyed Ella's take on it.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Larry that has happened to me. Cannot recall an example now but you suddenly listen & go. Oh Yeah get it.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Your Mother Should Know" by "Bud Shank" Love this (the original is jazz adjacent, not that much of a stretch for a jazz version)
	3:46pm Bri The Beatnik: There’s a trial pursuit category in the music edition called “Your mother should know” I tell mom it should be stuff she knows. But since the game came out 40 years ago, it would probably be stuff my Grandma knew. Her memory isn’t what it used to be, yet I bet I could get those questions now!
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 The original is on the White Album
	3:46pm Mike Sin: ↳ doctorjazz @3:45 I always considered the original track Davy Jones adjacent!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:46 Def in his tiny, English wheelhouse
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:46 I'm at the age now where I'm realizing that a lot of my pop culture touchstones have been forgotten by most of the population
	3:48pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 There are two songs I always hear with other singers taking it in my head: Your Mother Should Know - Davy Jones Born on the Bayou - Wilson Pickett
	🥁 3:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Mike Sin @3:46 You had to have an English connection for the Monkees.
	3:48pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Truly Sad, I showed my friend’s brother a Beatles song, and he said it wasn’t his cup of tea. 😢
	3:49pm Bri The Beatnik: Another one of my classmates didn’t know who John Lennon was
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:48 Good call on the Pickett
	3:50pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "The Fool On the Hill" by "Frank Wess" Different than the expected Sergio Mendes take
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:50 This is a nice album, recorded in Muscle Shoals for a Stax subsidiary
	🥁 3:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Tell the kids of today that & that will not know what you are talking about. Think back fifty five years from these albums & it is 1915.
	🥁 3:51pm Mollywog: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:50 Lol Brian!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:51 I remember reading that Bill Wyman was born closer to the end of the Civil War than today.
	3:51pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Nice!
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:49 Wow. Even I know of John Lennon.
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Was that the Stones civil war!!!
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 It's a testament to the ephemeral nature of pop culture that 55 years ago the Beatles were just about the most famous people in the world. Today not so much.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:52 I think Keef fought for the Confederacy
	3:54pm Webhamster Henry: I yam melowin' out with the soft sounds of the Beatles.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @3:54 Hi Henry!
	3:55pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 😂😂
	3:55pm Bri The Beatnik: I heard Keef was a huge fan of Pre-war or WW11 blues
	3:57pm Bri The Beatnik: Fan
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:55 He used to curl Mozart's hair and tune Tchaikovsky's piano (before tuning Robert Johnson's guitar)> Keith has always been with us....
	3:57pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 True, and he always will be
	3:58pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 I was even then impressed with the speed and spread of Beatle tunes, Dylan tunes, Simon & Garfunkel tunes to muzak orchestras world wide.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @3:58 Next week I'm doing another show of ostensibly un-hip types doing hip music
	4:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Testify indeed!
	4:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry and all
	4:00pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Awesome! I also love those “on the rocks” albums ultra Lounge put out
	4:00pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Coel!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:00 Hi C!
	4:01pm Erica: Get back Jojo
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Slowly watching the Get Back documentary, very interesting...
	4:02pm Bri The Beatnik: Funny enough, the Friend’s brother that I showed the Beatles too, his nickname was JoJo!
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: Oddly John Coltrane covered My Favourite Things not sure if he covered John & Paul. Though Miles covered Cyndi Lauper.
	4:03pm Bri The Beatnik: Planning on watching Yesterday with Dad
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @3:34 So, since I am older than beatniks as I knew them (Maynard G Crbbs), is Beatnik really a term still today?
	4:03pm Erica: I haven't heard the Beatles original version of Get Back in years.
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 That's true. My brother called, so I missed comments for last 20 minutes.
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 Not really, the only other Beatnik I can think of nowadays was my old writer friend, we identified with the Beatniks because of their love of jazz and poetry
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 Plus I brought it back as my Dj moniker
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Fascinating--BUT I could not spend that much time watching whole things again.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:04 Just wondered, as I was of the hippie era which seemed somewhat like beatniks, but after I grew up, realized it was NOT the same.
	🥁 4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:03 You mean that MOVIE Yesterday from 5 years ago? It WAS interesting idea, I guess.
	4:08pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 True, I went through a hippie phase in high school myself, as did all the older kids I looked up to did, yet Beatnim has a better moniker as I identify more with them than I do Hippie nowadays
	4:08pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 Yeah, it’s finally on Netflix
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: I was watching the original 'Hairspray' with one of my sons the other day and had to explain the beatnik couple played bu Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora
	🥁 4:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 Strange a documentary about the Beatles most lacklustre album. Appreciate that it is about the recording process.
	🥁 4:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:08 I wish it would not have had that red haired big star in it, otherwise it was ok, I guess.
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:08 Im still not sure ANYONE in this age can really BE a hippie or beatnik like the 60s. Hard to wrap my head around that. Have you heard Ken Nordine's Word Jazz stuff?
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Beatnik was also a pejorative started by Herb Caen to put down the Beats as commie sympathizers
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:09 Yeah, the big draw back there. I also thought, "I wish we had this for the early Lps."
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: I think this is the best track from this album
	4:12pm Erica: My dad called Beatniks the "first hippies", meaning the beatnik predated the hippie.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 This after Young-Holt split away?
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 There were folks still believing the Rock 'n Roll ethic in the early Seventies. And why not Eddie Cochran was boss.
	4:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:00 hi Bri!
	4:12pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 I’ve heard of him! I’ll have to check that one out. I went through a huge beatnik deep dive my senior year. It was the only thing to keep me sane.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 Oh yeah, a few years later
	🥁 4:13pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:12 It will be intriguing to you, I promise!
	🥁 4:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:11 Think that Abbey Road equivalent would have been interesting.
	4:14pm Bri The Beatnik: I first discovered Beatniks in a fashion history book, then dad explained them to me. It wasn’t until I became a poet and looked up to this girl in high school that identified with the Beat Generation, I wanted to be like her, so it stuck
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:13 Give me six hours on Revolver
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:02 i don't know how you do that! i wouldn't go to bed 'till i'd watched the whole thing
	4:14pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:13 Cool!
	🥁 4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:13 Abbey Road way down on my Beatles list.
	4:15pm Bri The Beatnik: I quite like that Del close and John Brent Speak hip album. And I have Rhino’s beat generation booklet
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Only six hours, you mean just Tomorrow Never.....
	🥁 4:16pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:14 Believe me IT WAS HARD to stop watching that 6 hours, but even tho totally interesting, it was also SO tiring that I could not believe after 2hours how it seemed like 4.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:14 My thinking is that it was their last album so potentially more conflict.
	🥁 4:17pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:14 Ken Nordin'e Dot stuff was the ERA of the Beatnik so you get THE REAL DEAL, I think.
	4:17pm WTF_Chuck: Cool show, Larry. Nice to hear these covers. I still have a few things I picked as a young Beatles obsessed jazz head years ago. Wes Montgomery and George Benson still get a spin form time to time. Can't go wrong with Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. Also recently grabbed the "Let it Be: Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison" due to hearing on some WFMU program. (Was it yours?) Includes Ella doing Savoy Truffle.
	4:18pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:17 Yes! Agreed. I love all things Beat Generation, be it Authentic or Beatsploitation
	🥁 4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:17 I saw enough of that in original 'let it Be" film. It was truly upsetting for a 14 year old living in Beatles fantasy world.
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:17 Abbey Road was the last album Let It Be was released last but recorded before
	🥁 4:19pm Brian in UK: Cannot imagine watching Let It Be. Rather do the washing up. I mean he make The Hobbit into three films.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:17 Thanks, Chuck! I have def played a ton of Beatle covers on Testify! over the years. I did shows devoted to Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and The White Album
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 I found the Jackson doc to be a little too much.
	4:20pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Oddly enough, I have never seen the original Let it Be movie. Had no interest when I was a young fan after reading about it. Later, I could never find it. I have watch the Get Back one a couple of times. I may be ready now (at age 58) to watch Let it Be. Not sure.
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:16 i actually may have watched it in 2 nights...but then i re-watched a few sections, mostly to jack soundbites from it!
	🥁 4:21pm David Shortell: I notice this playlist concentrates on the group's latter work-- Revolver and later.
	🥁 4:21pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @4:19 Did anyone go to see the Beatles film show touring the country in late 70s "Away With Words"? What a strange thing that was with multiple projectors and stuff.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:21 Hi David! Yes it does.
	4:22pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:18 Of course I prefer the authentic Beat Generation writings, I tried to read “Beatsploitation Pulp” but thought they all read the same, however the Beatsploitation B movies and records are fun
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 It DID become stressful, actually, despite wanting to know IT ALL!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:21 That doesn't ring a bell. Sounds interesting
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 Jackson, as in Michael? ...Brian? Milt? Joe? Wanda? Action? ...
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:20 Dont bother. Get back covered so much more and more positive.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:22 Have you read Chandler Brossard, John Clellon Holmes or Herbert Huncke?
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:22 Peter, stretcher of Hobbits and Beatles
	4:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:05 Watching it in very small bites, spread apart (I'm the only one in the house interested, so I watch when no one else is around).
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:22 It was more BIZARRE actually than interesting. You came out going "What was going on there?"
	🥁 4:24pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:21 Missed that one, thankfully!
	4:24pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 Read a bit of the later Two, have not heard of Chandler Broussard before, I’ll have to check into his writings!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:24 Brossard is hard to find these days but worth it
	4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:09 Watching them bicker and work things out is fascinating (and how bad things start out, then sort of click at some point). And George walking out...
	4:25pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:25 I bet! I’ll have to see if my state library system has any of his books
	4:25pm doctorjazz: Love Sarah!
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:18 I had actually planned to use some of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz on my drop in last time, but ran out of time.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:25 "Who Walk In Darkness" is the one to look for
	🥁 4:27pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 Do you want to see behind the curtain?
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 That's a really nice album
	4:28pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Thanks for the recommendation!
	🥁 4:28pm WLSClark: The thing I like when hearing jazz is like this kind--melodic. Some of the off beat and seemingly non-harmonic stuff just grates at me. i know people enjoy it, but it has to be melodic like these today for me to sit and listen.
	4:28pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 Aww man, :( I’m thinking of using “Mamie van doormen’s Bear generation” as my theme song
	🥁 4:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:25 I know that Richard Brautigan is of a later age but somehow feel that he has that beatnik sensibility.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:28 "The Bold Saboteurs" is also great, and both of the novels I mentioned appear to have been reprinted in the 2000s
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:28 Are you going to do a drop in?
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 oh,"get back". never paid any attention to who made the movie!
	4:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 Will have to check into his work too!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 He absolutely does. LOVE Brautigan.
	4:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:29 No, I’m getting my own
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 I have 3 LP box sets of Sassy, but mostly earlier stuff...also some Pablo stuff.
	🥁 4:30pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:30 Cool!
	4:31pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:30 Thanks! I’m super excited about it
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: As Larry's theme says "Gotta go." Bye all and sorry if I talk too much. :)
	4:31pm Bri The Beatnik: Aww, bye Clark, hope to see you later!
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: Love the comments, it sometimes feels like a conversation in real time.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:31 Bye Clark! I enjoy your contributions!
	4:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Brian in UK @4:32 For sure!
	🥁 4:32pm WLSClark: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:31 Thanks, but probably wont listen until Monday. Going to Iowa for Easter and cousin's 80th. I get the treatment next week--68.
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @4:32 A mere stripling.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 maybe because ive heard about how bad the bickering is in the let it be movie (which i've still never seen) i actually expected much worse. -although it does demonstrate what an asshole Paul was to George; but i think George came out looking good after all; and it validates my disgust of yoko ono (for those who really pay attention)
	4:35pm Jeff Ash: The time has come for me to say "Hello Goodbye." Thanks, Larry!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:35 Take it easy, Jeff! Keep that foot elevated!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 Recommend this as a fun read. www.ebay.co.uk...
	4:36pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ WLSClark @4:32 Ok, have fun, and happy early birthday! (Younger than my dad!)
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 That looks interesting!
	4:39pm Bri The Beatnik: Just put “Who walk in darkness” on hold! :)
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @4:39 Excellent!
	🥁 4:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 Never knew that George schtupped Ringo's wife.
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 I don't know, Yoko (who I have no strong affinity for), seems pretty benign in Get Back. I mean, she's THERE all the time, hanging on, in everyone's face, but she is pretty quiet and doesn't seem to make any trouble...
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 Me neither!
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 He wanted to hook John & succeeded.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 Yoko makes me say OH NO, but the Beatles were good and rotten by the time she rolled around. I don't blame her at all.
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: Let's hear it for Uncle Michael singing Oh Yoko.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:42 I have to go back and check that out
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Tomorrow Never Knows" by "Don Randi Trio" Now this is a tough one to cover.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Hang in there...
	4:46pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Brian in UK @4:42 Yeah! And the tantalizing reveal ;-)
	4:46pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Oh, my. This. Reverend Larry, you have the best church music.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:46 Glad you're digging it!
	4:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 Thanks ! (i think!) i wont click the link from this computer but i'll check it out later
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: It is amazing that two Liverpool lads could match the song writing & longevity from America in the 30s & 40s.
	4:48pm Mike Sin: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 If you've listened to original Nagras reel like I've for way too many and gone insane, you'll hear that Yoko had so much to say throughout the whole Get Back sessions... Jackson's film was great, but he edited Yoko completely out and created a bit of an overcorrection... She even had a lot to say during the "hidden flower pot microphone" section, but she was cut out of that as well.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 That is intriguing.
	4:48pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:34 Paul was definitely a task master (aka asshole.) Watching the interactions in Get Back, I gained an even deeper appreciation for what (Brian) Mr. Epstein was able to accomplish with the four personalities, even after their remarkable success at such a young age.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 nor did i; but then Ringo wasn't faithful either!
	🥁 4:50pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 You know what it is like all those chicks throwing themselves at you!!!
	4:51pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Been listening while I prepare my show...fun stuff! Lots of covers I have never heard before or even knew existed! Stick around for Discotech Underground, immediately following! wfmu.org...
	4:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:48 The truth is somewhere down the middle... Paul's personality can be overbearing because "work" probably gives him the most pleasure in life, but... nothing would have happened in BeatlesWorld after the White Album if he didn't take the reins in some fashion... The dude was always loaded with songs....
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: Larry, love all the hard work you put in. Priceless.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Steve Gadd on drums!
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 it's subtle... but she was selfish and manipulative toi be there at all. she was NOT concerned about what was best for John. he was bamboozled!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:51 Hey Kip!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 Hmmm, interesting, you'd have no idea Yoko was involved watching Get Back...
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 I agree 1,000%
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Thanks Brian!
	4:52pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Mike Sin @4:48 Interesting. Not familiar with those tapes. Not surprised by any of your points.. As a young Beatles fan, I used to wonder if the Beatles would be studied for generations, as the great composers have been , Mozart, etc. And as I get older, it seems that the answer is yes, to at least some degree.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:50 Yeah, but I just let it slide off me... ;- )
	4:53pm Mike Sin: Great show today Larry -- I'm glad I was able to catch most of it.
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: Geoff Emerick's book tells of how yoko waited until all of them were up in the control booth to walk across the room and steal George's crackers, instead of asking. they all saw it through the glass and George said "That Bitch!" no one argued, not even John!
	4:54pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 Agreed! Paul kept things together as bast as he could, given who he was/is.
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:52 People were make those comments in the late Sixties & were poo poo'd at the time. Who could know.
	4:55pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Another book that has been on my wish list. Thanks for the reminder..
	4:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 It does seem that way; he is "bossy", but on the other hand, he pushes to get something done (John is happy knocking off 50's pop/rock hits).
	4:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:50 i don't know how i would've handled it. no, actually i do!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:48 yeah Mr. Epstein was a bit of a miracle worker
	4:56pm WTF_Chuck: Have a great evening everyone! Fun show and discussion. BEATLES FOREVER!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:53 Thanks Mike!
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:57pm Erica: Happy Easter to those who celebrate. 🐰🐣
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Sin @4:51 i have Great respect for Paul -more than ever in fact; but he pulled some dickish stunts too
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	4:57pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great episode! Thanks, Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:57 Thanks Andrew!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 That's hilarious. YOKO STOLE MY CRACKERS!
