	♥ 10:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doug!
	♥ 10:13pm Uncle Michael: Best single ever recorded, maybe.
	♥ 10:14pm Funky16Corners: You could say that about four or five of his records
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: This one holds a special place for me.
	10:15pm hyde: thing about Glen Campbell is you hear these songs, and they're great. but then you see him pick guitar, and he can keep up with anyone. (cf. Roy Clark!). and w. the godhen they gave him a show, he was a natural host. the goddamned guy could do anything.
	♥ 10:15pm Funky16Corners: Yeah,a consummate entertainer
	♥ 10:16pm Uncle Michael: Well, he couldn't act. Admit it.
	10:16pm hyde: note: i am unsure what i mean by "godhen" above!
	♥ 10:16pm Funky16Corners: Come on, what's the movie with him and the chicken?
	10:17pm hyde: @UM haha, not everyone can do everything
	♥ 10:18pm Funky16Corners: Oops
	♥ 10:18pm Uncle Michael: Oh, play it twice!
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Jeff Ash: It's cool. You could play Galveston again, and no one would mind.
	10:18pm geezerette: uh, Rhinestone Chicken?

	♥ 10:19pm Uncle Michael: At leasr in Norwood he had Joe Namath to lean on.
	♥ 10:19pm coelacanth∅: i was just gonna say -i'm still a sucker for this song, the first GC song i knew as a child
	10:20pm hyde: the Jimmy Webb collaboration is sure a big deal, when it comes to GC
	10:21pm geezerette: He made everything he did seem so easy. No drama.
	♥ 10:22pm Uncle Michael: He made dating Tanya look as hard as it probably was.
	10:22pm geezerette: He's even good in True Grit.
	10:24pm cupcakejenny: I think my parents saw Glen and Tanya in the Albany Airport once.
	♥ 10:26pm coelacanth∅: i was just looking at his discography and surprised and intrigued that he covered "universal soldier". gotta hear that.
	10:27pm hyde: @cupcakejenny um, wow
	♥ 10:27pm Funky16Corners: I think that might have been a hit, too
	10:28pm still b/p: Gentle On My Mind got a bit of a shmaltz MOR rep for a while when we was young. I understand why, but still a pretty strange tainting, given its pedigree, its lyrics, its everything...

	♥ 10:34pm Funky16Corners: Thanks much!
	10:35pm hyde: this is kinda Sandy Denny
	♥ 10:35pm Funky16Corners: You got that right. The best Fairport album ever recorded by someone else
	♥ 10:40pm Uncle Michael: It's interesting, looking at Glen's catalog on Capitol before he struck gold. An album in '62, two in '63, one each in '64 and '65...none in '66....then three in '67, FIVE in '68!
	♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: He was a busy man
	♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: It's always stunning when you see artists in the sixties turning over two or three albums a year
	♥ 10:42pm Uncle Michael: Five albums in a calendar year is insane.
	♥ 10:43pm Funky16Corners: Indeed
	♥ 10:43pm Uncle Michael: You know when the label asks for a Christmas album, you're a cash machine.
	10:44pm still b/p: If our President had gone into music, he'd have produced more great fantastic albums every year than anyone else in the history of the world.
	♥ 10:45pm Funky16Corners: A boxed set every year
	10:45pm hyde: love this set
	♥ 10:46pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	♥ 10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...as long as there's no particular reason why you're playing more than one 13th floor elevators songs in a row.
	♥ 10:48pm Funky16Corners: None other than I love the Elevators
	♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: whew! i already checked the news. the worry was hurting.
	♥ 10:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah right?
	♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: nice! you can keep playin'em - no complaints here!
	♥ 10:58pm Funky16Corners: I will def come back to the Elevators at a later date
	♥ 11:01pm coelacanth∅: i know you will! ... i have those records, but still like hearing them mixed into a set.

	♥ 11:02pm Uncle Michael: Gotta put myself to bed now. Thanks, Larry. Night all.
	♥ 11:03pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for coming Unk! Sleep well.
	♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: i always wondered - i tried to get it cleared up by finding the original "slide machine" (which is unfortunately quite inferior)...but -what exactly IS a slide machine? i can deduce what it does, but i could not find a picture of one with a web search.
	♥ 11:05pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure, either
	11:07pm calzone!: Great show LG!
	♥ 11:08pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Cal!
	11:23pm still b/p: Hogan's Heroes/Family Feud Richard Dawson?
	♥ 11:24pm Funky16Corners: The very same.
	♥ 11:25pm Funky16Corners: Pretty crazy, huh?
	11:28pm still b/p: I wonder whose chances of crossover success are better statistically -- on-camera performers who make a record or recording artists who try performing on-camera. Stormy....arright!
	♥ 11:29pm Funky16Corners: That Dawson 45 is weird and cool, but an odd jumping off point for success. I love it but it must have been as confusing as hell for Hogan's Heroes fans
	11:30pm hyde: fantastic show
	♥ 11:31pm Funky16Corners: I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	11:35pm still b/p: If Newkirk could grab a mike, where was "LeBeau: Songs for Lovers, Oui?" I worked at a car dealership in the 70s and one of the salesmen claimed to have been the bass player for Classics IV. I never saw any substantiation...don't know if it was just car salesman odd talk or if he was a hire for some live shows or somethin'.
