	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hi Doc!
	3:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:01 You didn't have a live Drummer Stream show before yours, took a minute to get from the Mothership back to some Drumming...
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:08 Yes, That's always weird
	3:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I made it... and it looks like I'm about to buy the Buffoons 45 that I missed lol... good afternoon one and all :)
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:11 Hey Vincent!
	3:22pm love2laf: Late, I was in the archives, apologies for the tardiness DJ Larry! Hello everyone here to Testify!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:22 Hi love2laf!
	3:22pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there, Larry, and all other liste erst!
	3:23pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Like To Get To Know You" by "John Andrews Tartaglia" This is the most off path version of this song I've ever heard.
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hey, doc!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:23 It incorporates part of 'Give a Damn' as well
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:22 Hi Andrew!
	3:23pm Erica: By which I mean it doesn't stick to the main melody.
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @3:04 Hey, Yvang!
	3:24pm Andrew in Toronto: Howdy, Sem!
	🥁 3:33pm WR: Hello Larry and Our Gang
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:33 Hey WR!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: This was written by George Fischoff and Tony Powers who wrote 98.6 for Keith
	3:39pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but greetings to all from Wisconsin!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:39 Hi Jeff!
	3:42pm Erica: Hiya Jeff. I hope you like Spanky and Our Gang (and I don't mean the Little Rascals either).
	3:43pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I admit to having three copies of this album... did I mention that I absolutely adore this group lol? Hey Jeff...
	3:46pm Erica: The garbage man can.
	3:47pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Commercial" by "Spanky and Our Gang" Sounds like Alice's Restaurant.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:47 That and Byrd Ave were both written by a guy nmed Mike Smith, who wrote a lot of idiosyncratic/unusual stuff for folk artists
	3:51pm Jeff Ash: This show is a flashback for me to the TV variety shows of the late '60s. Spanky and Our Gang was a TV-friendly act, something for the kids that the older folks also would like.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:51 I've seen clips of them on Ed Sullivan, Smothers Brothers, Hollywood Palace etc
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: They were also - with the exception of Spanky - a pretty square-looking bunch, like a bunch of refugee college English professors
	3:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 Ha! That's pretty accurate, now that I think about it... real talk, those vocal arrangements are devastating.
	3:55pm Jeff Ash: There you go, Larry. Exactly.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:55 Among the tightest harmonies of the time
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: Maybe 20 years back I got to see Bob Dorough a bunch of times in different settings. One time he had a bunch of CDs for sale, which I had never seen anywhere else, so I bought them. One of them had his demo versions of many of the songs covered by S&OG
	4:02pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Man, who takes the time to create a six part harmony though... just lovely. Thank you for this, Larry :)
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:02 My pleasure! You know I live for this sound.
	4:04pm Sem: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:02 ^what Vincent said.
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:04 Thanks, Sem
	4:10pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Like To Get To Know You" by "Spanky and Our Gang" I must say, the first time I heard this song sometime in 1991, I was literally reduced to a puddle on the floor.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:10 It's a beautiful arrangement
	4:23pm Erica: What was that?
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:23 I miscued the song (started replaying 'And Your Bird Can Sing')
	4:25pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:24 Oh my. I somehow got signed out and had to sign back in, in case you wonder.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: This is a pretty incredible album and they were all but broken up by the time it was released (due to Malcolm Hale's death)
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: I just saw that Dennis Thompson, the last remaining member of the MC5 has died.
	4:33pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:31 Thanks for the heads up, his music will live on in our hearts and ears.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: They finally got into the Hall of Fame andnow none of them are left
	4:36pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 Oh man. :(
	🥁 4:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Like To Get To Know You" by "Spanky and Our Gang" They preluded their performance of this on the Ed Sullivan Show with a brief dramatization set at a cocktail party.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned for Kip and Discotech Underground at 5PM: wfmu.org...
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:48 Hi David! Yeah, that's cool, with the band superimposed on them as the party goers
	4:51pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, been a lovely afternoon of music. Cheers everyone!
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Cool set (cool show), Thanks Larry!
	4:53pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 4:54pm WR: Many thanks for the Spanky & Our Gang feature. Laters.
