	5:16pm melinda: Sassafras and moonshine!
	♥ 5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She's just extraordinary, isn't she? :-) <3
	♥ 5:17pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh:
	♥ 5:18pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: could she have influenced Kate Bush? Something about the playful register
	♥ 5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Very much so :-)
	♥ 5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love Stoney End :-)
	5:25pm Linda Lee: hello! that's Fanny behind Babs on this lp! :-)
	♥ 5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Linda! Really??? That's fantastic!!! :-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: yes! :-)
	♥ 5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well, I love them even more now :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: absolutely! :-) i loved Melba as well. thought she was so beautiful. fabulous photo of her on this lp cover.
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh absolutely!! She had that gorgeous face :-)
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She still sings and sounds incredible :-)
	5:29pm Linda Lee: really! that's fabulous! she was part of the original cast of 'Hair' in New York! she's been performing for a very long time.
	♥ 5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a wonderful picture of her from the early 70s in dungarees and she just looks so cute and confident :-)
	♥ 5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think I played one of the Broadway "Hair" tracks with her on it in my Hair special :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: did you? missed that one! :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: was it 'white boys'? :-) those numbers are still risky.
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Possibly - it was a while ago :-) I shall find a link for you later :-)
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go :-) www.wfmu.org...
	5:38pm Linda Lee: lovely! thank you! ah! here's Eli..
	♥ 5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Eli is my favourite Laura track :-)
	♥ 5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - I've been loving your photos :-)
	5:40pm Linda Lee: wow! thank you! :-)
	5:40pm Linda Lee: memory lane tonight! when i was in grade school i was taken with an amazingly beautiful girl named Alisha. she wore a long trench coat named Eli after that song. :-)
	♥ 5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She sounds fabulous :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: she was very pale & blond, but she had a very smokey, husky voice. i was really smitten. :-D
	♥ 5:42pm Rich in Washington: goddamn work meetings!
	♥ 5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I was going to quote from an interview I'd read years ago, but sadly couldn't find it and so couldn't do justice to it ... But it was another artists talking about how in awe they all were of Laura. The bit I wanted to quote was a description of her walking up the streets in New York, and it was along the lines of beads and hair and skirts billowing :-)
	♥ 5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Rich! :-)
	5:45pm Linda Lee: some very strongly creative women have that vibe, don't they. just captivating. Patti Smith had the same impact.
	♥ 5:45pm Rich in Washington: Love Laura Nyro so much. I'm a relatively recent convert, though. Repeated postings of her songs by comedian Frank Conniff Jr. converted me.
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There was also something about her being this constantly moving Earth Mother with this incredible vine :-) I wish I could remember where it was!
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been so excited to do this show :-)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: a queer earth mother as well! :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Vine? VIBE. lol
	♥ 5:46pm Rich in Washington: Hi DJ GeorgyGirl! Hi Linda Lee! Hi everybody!
	5:47pm Linda Lee: oh! i thought she had a vine with her. :-D
	♥ 5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - LGBT+ icon, feminist, animal rights activist ... the list goes on :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: yes! hiya Rich!
	♥ 5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: HUGE thank you to my daughter CJ who did all the label/album research for me :-)
	5:50pm Linda Lee: thank you CJ! :-)
	♥ 5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She said it was really relaxing :-) She likes to do "zone out" stuff sometimes :-)
	5:52pm Linda Lee: don't we all! :-) when do we hear her on air?
	5:52pm melinda: I didn’t know she was in Hair. Cool.
	5:52pm Dave In St Albans UK: Love Laura Nyro! A real treat to hear her voice. Thank you DJ Georgy Girl. Hi everyone!
	5:53pm Linda Lee: Melba Moore. yes. there's that Sheena & her hiccups again.
	♥ 5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: CJ's very shy, bless her :-) Although .. she did do some voices for my horror radio thing. :-) Not Fragments. the other one I did. ;-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: did she? where do i hear that one? :-)
	♥ 5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dave!!! :-)
	♥ 5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena should know better than to interrupt Laura!!
	♥ 5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I shall dig up that link for you :-)
	5:54pm Linda Lee: June Millington had good things to say about these sessions with Barbra. a strict proressional, is Babs.
	5:55pm Linda Lee: yes, a proressional. like a pro wrestler.
	♥ 5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Have you ever heard Barbra's classical album? Outstanding.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: another childhood crush! Peggy Lipton! :-D i have not.
	♥ 5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My fave Barbra album is "Butterfly" - my mum had a copy when I was a kid, and now I have my own :-)
	5:56pm Linda Lee: something so sweet about this period in pop. just so nice.
	♥ 5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Very much so! exploration and openness :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: oh honey. the gay man who helped raise me had all of them. i remember the 60s albums very well. there was a photo of her on one album that was just beautiful. 'je m'appelle barbra!'
	♥ 5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes!!! My mum had that one!!! Her eyes are just extraordinary to me. I, too, was raised on Babs :-)
	6:00pm Linda Lee: her eyes, her cheekbones, her hands.
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "You were born a woman, not a slave" - wonderful :-)
	6:00pm Dave In St Albans UK: This show is going on repeat tomorrow!
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Let's turn the world on to Laura Nyro! :-)
	6:01pm Linda Lee: speaking of confessions .. Laura's upper register makes me cringe. but one can't deny her power as a writer. cannot.
	♥ 6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She does do that shrill thing sometimes, this is true - same with Melanie, who I also adore :-)
	6:02pm Linda Lee: when they sing from the back of their throats. ack!!! i'm so glad you can understand.
	6:03pm Linda Lee: goddamn it Sheena! you're out.
	6:03pm melinda: Stream intrusion
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Out completely??
	6:03pm Linda Lee: ah, back.
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Phew!!!
	6:04pm melinda: @Linda I have a similar problem with the high register
	♥ 6:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'll make sure they've got a clean copy for the archives :-)
	6:04pm Linda Lee: i love hearing Laura arrange & sing Motown. mainly because she stays in her own register! :-)
	6:04pm Linda Lee: thank you, melinda. nails on a chalkboard, really. i won't bring it up again. :-D
	6:05pm Linda Lee: now listen to Patti behind Laura hit that high note. that's right.
	♥ 6:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Given her influences, I'm wondering if it was an attempt to emulate however misguided? :-)
	6:07pm Domenic: Thanks for putting this together. Really enjoyed it.
	6:07pm Linda Lee: oh, sure.
	6:07pm Linda Lee: this is probably my favorite Nyro tune.
	♥ 6:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! :-)
	6:08pm Linda Lee: this was after Diana Ross, wasn't it?
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've just realised something - both Melanie and Laura had opera singing mothers ... could that be what they were both striving for? And unless you're trained for that sort of singing it results in a lot of ouches ;-)
	6:09pm Linda Lee: oh did they? sure they would ~ because a diva makes it look easy.
	♥ 6:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There you go :-)
	6:10pm Linda Lee: and a talented daughter wants to emulate her talented mother, naturally!
	6:11pm Linda Lee: i could go into theories about talented mothers who may be even a bit narcissistic ~ as many performers must be ~ and trying to get their attention by emulation. however, that's another show :-D
	♥ 6:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: LOL!
	♥ 6:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Bobbie Gentry - another of my idols :-)
	6:13pm Linda Lee: oh yes! when i hear Bobbie I also think of Dusty. i've been listening to Norma Tanega this week. another amazing songwriter, who ~ for whatever reason ~ didn't get the breaks so many others did. she had to keep teaching.
	♥ 6:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Weird - I am literally putting together a show with the two of them for LHT. I'm glad someone else sees that connection!! :-)
	6:14pm Domenic: Hi GG. and nice conversation your all having.
	6:14pm Linda Lee: oh yes, of course! absolutely!
	6:15pm Linda Lee: you've entered the magic circle, Domenic! :-)
	♥ 6:15pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: Learning a lot!
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dusty always had a Southern soul :-)
	6:15pm Domenic: I liked that Dusty / Bobbie program. Downloaded it from Mixcloud. You come up with great concept shows GG
	6:15pm Linda Lee: who is this????
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dom - I'm expanding on it for WFMU :-)
	6:16pm Linda Lee: isn't that pretty!
	♥ 6:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'd never heard of Ronnie Dyson until doing this show - lovely voice :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: yes.
	6:17pm Domenic: So many wonderful vocalists and music out there. Keep finding them.
	6:18pm Linda Lee: the early 70s did give a lot of room to vocalists of all kinds, no? that's when Merry Clayton recorded solo work, as well as Claudia Linnear! there's another show idea..
	6:19pm Linda Lee: i was also in love with Claudia Linnear! :-D
	♥ 6:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Merry Clayton!!! Oh yes! Lift Every Voice And Sing! Adore that record :-)
	6:19pm Linda Lee: here, you could do a show just on women Linda Lee had crushes on. :-D
	♥ 6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well, you have phenomenal taste so I may have to look into that ;-)
	6:20pm Linda Lee: here's where she steps on Mother's train a bit.
	6:20pm Linda Lee: then you'd have to bring in Fanny. :D
	♥ 6:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My daughter just said that Ronnie Dyson was in hair with Melba Moore :-)
	6:21pm Linda Lee: no! really!
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: He's the lead on Aquarius apparently :-)
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And CJ just said that he was only 18 when he did it
	6:22pm spacebrother: Finished the house repairs. Listening!
	6:22pm Linda Lee: oh my! i thought Ronnie was female! :-D
	♥ 6:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Greg! :-)
	6:23pm Linda Lee: hi Greg! here's Otis' amusing promo. :-D
	♥ 6:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I confess I had to look at the album cover because I thought he was a lady too :-)
	6:24pm Linda Lee: that's why i was talking about Merry Clayton & Claudia Linnear!
	6:24pm spacebrother: Hey GG and LL!
	6:24pm Linda Lee: i really like Julie London too.
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She has such a smokey voice :-)
	6:25pm Linda Lee: she knows what to do with it, too. she knows its limits.
	6:26pm Linda Lee: did she really do 'Yummy Yummy Yummy'? i must have this record.
	6:26pm Domenic: "a whisp of a voice" and yet so distintive.
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I would genuinely love to hear Lady Gaga do a Laura Nyro cover tho
	6:27pm CC: Hi Georgy Girl and all..!.. been doing some chores around the house myself but got your groove on... good tunes tonight!!!...
	6:27pm Linda Lee: ho! which one?
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi CC! :-)
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooo, that's a good question ...
	♥ 6:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'd like to see what she'd do with Emmie
	6:28pm Linda Lee: yes! great idea!
	♥ 6:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I think she'd do a fantastic job with Eli too
	6:29pm Linda Lee: yes!
	6:29pm Domenic: Was listening while cooking. Now time to hang with the Fam. Take all . Sheena is wonderful
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-)
	6:30pm spacebrother: I have some Julie London coming up.
	6:30pm Linda Lee: we all love Sheena when she behaves herself. :-) come back soon!
	6:32pm Linda Lee: i don't think Gaga would do badly with Flim Flam Man, do you?
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think they come from a similar musical sensibility :-)
	6:33pm Linda Lee: for sure.
	♥ 6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just went to the fridge because I thought I still had a pudding cup in there but I don't ...so now I have a pear. Healthier ... but I wanted a pudding cup. lol
	6:35pm Linda Lee: can you run out & shop without fussing much? i cannot stand having to get into a car & drive each time i want something special to eat.
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a corner shop that sells them :-)
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can't drive either - lol. Shocking!
	6:37pm Linda Lee: a corner shop.. sigh.. that's it, i'm coming out to Brighton to live under the pier. at least i won't have to drive.
	6:37pm spacebrother: Just did some errands on my Vespa, actually.
	6:37pm Mr Fab: Been listening when I can! That Bobbie Gentry version of Wedding Bell Blues was definitive.
	♥ 6:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah - Brighton's not really a driving town. Nowhere to properly park! :-)
	♥ 6:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Mr Fab! :-)
	♥ 6:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Greg - you're giving me Vespa envy! ;-)
	6:39pm Linda Lee: great! i'll be right there. :-D i'm simply sick of the car culture here.
	6:39pm Linda Lee: 'vespa envy' :-D
	6:40pm Linda Lee: hi Mr F! wasn't that nice?
	♥ 6:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I keep mistiming taking a bite out of my pear and then the record ends and I have to type with half bit of pear hanging out of my mouth. Most undignified ;-)
	6:42pm Linda Lee: that's dedication. :-)
	6:43pm Linda Lee: y'know .. about that mother diva thing .. i wonder if Laura wasn't partially writing for her mother.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The greatest sandwich I ever had was multi grain bread, dessert pear, soft fromage frais style cheese, and cracked black pepper. Divine.
	6:44pm Linda Lee: that sounds lovely.
	♥ 6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - interesting ...!
	6:44pm Linda Lee: because her songs aren't easy.
	6:45pm Linda Lee: but of course her mother wasn't singing them, she was, herself, without her mother's ability.
	♥ 6:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: On a couple of the covers you could people straining a wee bit
	♥ 6:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That pear was really nice. I may have to grab another one ;-)
	6:46pm Linda Lee: sure. there was a demand by .. whoever .. that they cover this popular songwriter, but .. gee!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wow - nearly at the end!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg is after me! www.wfmu.org...
	6:48pm Linda Lee: i'm sorry i was late!
	♥ 6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's alright - you're here now :-) That's the important part :-)
	6:50pm Linda Lee: your shows are too short as is! what's funny about this interview is that they both sound like they just shagged each other & they're having a cigarette after.
	6:50pm spacebrother: Ready! New DJ software to test.
	6:50pm spacebrother: @LL - That's just what I was thinking!
	♥ 6:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - that's exactly what i was thinking! LOL! Although I'm not sure it was a cigarette ;-)
	6:51pm Linda Lee: not just me, then. thank you. :-D right, not tobacco.
	♥ 6:51pm Rich in Washington: We're ready to be your guinea pigs, spacebrother!
	♥ 6:51pm Rich in Washington: This show has been fantastic, GeorgyGirl!
	6:52pm Linda Lee: beautiful show, GG. thank you!
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I wonder if Dunhill records has anything to do with the cigarettes?
	6:52pm Dave In St Albans UK: I once tried to park in Brighton. It was the day of a motorbike meet up. After nearly two hours of looking for a few hours parking I gave up and ended up in Hove for the rest of the day Great fish and chips saved the day :-)
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you, Rich! :-)
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dave - it's a nightmare, truly
	6:52pm Linda Lee: gosh, that's rough, Dave!
	6:53pm ParUbi: Fantastic education for me :)
	6:53pm Linda Lee: i'll be very sad if i missed the 5th Dimension. :-(
	♥ 6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I will be sobbing through the last track, trust me.
	6:54pm spacebrother: I knew about LN, but now I know so much more! Thank you!
	6:54pm Linda Lee: oh dear.
	♥ 6:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: So happy you were all here :-) Hugs!!
	6:54pm Dave In St Albans UK: Wonderful show tonight DJ Georgy Girl. How can I download this? Want this as a permanent MP3 on my player.
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm blushing now!! :-)
	♥ 6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dave - Email me - DJGG@wmfu.org and I'll get a WeTransfer to you :-)
	6:56pm Linda Lee: i'd think you have to record it directly from the archive, with something like IShowU, then convert to mp3 in something like Audacity.
	6:57pm Linda Lee: a WeTransfer?
	♥ 6:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You can send large files via this free email service :-) No signing up or anything
	6:58pm Linda Lee: ah so! :-)
	6:58pm Dave In St Albans UK: A We Transfer! Love it.
	6:59pm Linda Lee: now i know! :-)
	6:59pm Linda Lee: i just fuss around with audio programs & never think to ask!
	♥ 7:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, DJ GeorgyGirl!
	♥ 7:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you all! :-)

	♥ 5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: LOL!
	5:08pm melinda: Hi all, sorry to have missed Met Him in a Sunday, i love their version.
	♥ 5:09pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: This is great, I know nothing about Laura Nyro at all
	♥ 5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi melinda! :-)
	♥ 5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - you're in for a treat then :-)
	♥ 5:10pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: That's great! Always learning new things here
	♥ 5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I feel like you're all in my house and I'm running around and pulling records out :-) "Ooo! Listen to this!"
	♥ 5:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This interview puts the "stoned" in "stoned soul picnic" ;-)
	5:16pm melinda: Sassafras and moonshine!
	♥ 5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She's just extraordinary, isn't she? :-) <3
	♥ 5:17pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh:
	♥ 5:18pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: could she have influenced Kate Bush? Something about the playful register
	♥ 5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Very much so :-)
	♥ 5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love Stoney End :-)
	5:25pm Linda Lee: hello! that's Fanny behind Babs on this lp! :-)
	♥ 5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Linda! Really??? That's fantastic!!! :-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: yes! :-)
	♥ 5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well, I love them even more now :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: absolutely! :-) i loved Melba as well. thought she was so beautiful. fabulous photo of her on this lp cover.
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh absolutely!! She had that gorgeous face :-)
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She still sings and sounds incredible :-)
	5:29pm Linda Lee: really! that's fabulous! she was part of the original cast of 'Hair' in New York! she's been performing for a very long time.
	♥ 5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a wonderful picture of her from the early 70s in dungarees and she just looks so cute and confident :-)
	♥ 5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think I played one of the Broadway "Hair" tracks with her on it in my Hair special :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: did you? missed that one! :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: was it 'white boys'? :-) those numbers are still risky.
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Possibly - it was a while ago :-) I shall find a link for you later :-)
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go :-) www.wfmu.org...
	5:38pm Linda Lee: lovely! thank you! ah! here's Eli..
	♥ 5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Eli is my favourite Laura track :-)
	♥ 5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - I've been loving your photos :-)
	5:40pm Linda Lee: wow! thank you! :-)
	5:40pm Linda Lee: memory lane tonight! when i was in grade school i was taken with an amazingly beautiful girl named Alisha. she wore a long trench coat named Eli after that song. :-)
	♥ 5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She sounds fabulous :-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: she was very pale & blond, but she had a very smokey, husky voice. i was really smitten. :-D
	♥ 5:42pm Rich in Washington: goddamn work meetings!
	♥ 5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I was going to quote from an interview I'd read years ago, but sadly couldn't find it and so couldn't do justice to it ... But it was another artists talking about how in awe they all were of Laura. The bit I wanted to quote was a description of her walking up the streets in New York, and it was along the lines of beads and hair and skirts billowing :-)
	♥ 5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Rich! :-)
	5:45pm Linda Lee: some very strongly creative women have that vibe, don't they. just captivating. Patti Smith had the same impact.
	♥ 5:45pm Rich in Washington: Love Laura Nyro so much. I'm a relatively recent convert, though. Repeated postings of her songs by comedian Frank Conniff Jr. converted me.
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There was also something about her being this constantly moving Earth Mother with this incredible vine :-) I wish I could remember where it was!
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been so excited to do this show :-)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: a queer earth mother as well! :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Vine? VIBE. lol
	♥ 5:46pm Rich in Washington: Hi DJ GeorgyGirl! Hi Linda Lee! Hi everybody!
	5:47pm Linda Lee: oh! i thought she had a vine with her. :-D
	♥ 5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - LGBT+ icon, feminist, animal rights activist ... the list goes on :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: yes! hiya Rich!
	♥ 5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: HUGE thank you to my daughter CJ who did all the label/album research for me :-)
	5:50pm Linda Lee: thank you CJ! :-)
	♥ 5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She said it was really relaxing :-) She likes to do "zone out" stuff sometimes :-)
	5:52pm Linda Lee: don't we all! :-) when do we hear her on air?
	5:52pm melinda: I didn’t know she was in Hair. Cool.
	5:52pm Dave In St Albans UK: Love Laura Nyro! A real treat to hear her voice. Thank you DJ Georgy Girl. Hi everyone!
	5:53pm Linda Lee: Melba Moore. yes. there's that Sheena & her hiccups again.
	♥ 5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: CJ's very shy, bless her :-) Although .. she did do some voices for my horror radio thing. :-) Not Fragments. the other one I did. ;-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: did she? where do i hear that one? :-)
	♥ 5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dave!!! :-)
	♥ 5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena should know better than to interrupt Laura!!
	♥ 5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I shall dig up that link for you :-)
	5:54pm Linda Lee: June Millington had good things to say about these sessions with Barbra. a strict proressional, is Babs.
	5:55pm Linda Lee: yes, a proressional. like a pro wrestler.
	♥ 5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Have you ever heard Barbra's classical album? Outstanding.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: another childhood crush! Peggy Lipton! :-D i have not.
	♥ 5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My fave Barbra album is "Butterfly" - my mum had a copy when I was a kid, and now I have my own :-)
	5:56pm Linda Lee: something so sweet about this period in pop. just so nice.
	♥ 5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Very much so! exploration and openness :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: oh honey. the gay man who helped raise me had all of them. i remember the 60s albums very well. there was a photo of her on one album that was just beautiful. 'je m'appelle barbra!'
	♥ 5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes!!! My mum had that one!!! Her eyes are just extraordinary to me. I, too, was raised on Babs :-)
	6:00pm Linda Lee: her eyes, her cheekbones, her hands.
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "You were born a woman, not a slave" - wonderful :-)
	6:00pm Dave In St Albans UK: This show is going on repeat tomorrow!
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Let's turn the world on to Laura Nyro! :-)
	6:01pm Linda Lee: speaking of confessions .. Laura's upper register makes me cringe. but one can't deny her power as a writer. cannot.
	♥ 6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She does do that shrill thing sometimes, this is true - same with Melanie, who I also adore :-)
	6:02pm Linda Lee: when they sing from the back of their throats. ack!!! i'm so glad you can understand.
	6:03pm Linda Lee: goddamn it Sheena! you're out.
	6:03pm melinda: Stream intrusion
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Out completely??
	6:03pm Linda Lee: ah, back.
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Phew!!!
	6:04pm melinda: @Linda I have a similar problem with the high register
	♥ 6:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'll make sure they've got a clean copy for the archives :-)
	6:04pm Linda Lee: i love hearing Laura arrange & sing Motown. mainly because she stays in her own register! :-)
	6:04pm Linda Lee: thank you, melinda. nails on a chalkboard, really. i won't bring it up again. :-D
	6:05pm Linda Lee: now listen to Patti behind Laura hit that high note. that's right.
	♥ 6:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Given her influences, I'm wondering if it was an attempt to emulate however misguided? :-)
	6:07pm Domenic: Thanks for putting this together. Really enjoyed it.
	6:07pm Linda Lee: oh, sure.
	6:07pm Linda Lee: this is probably my favorite Nyro tune.
	♥ 6:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! :-)
	6:08pm Linda Lee: this was after Diana Ross, wasn't it?
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've just realised something - both Melanie and Laura had opera singing mothers ... could that be what they were both striving for? And unless you're trained for that sort of singing it results in a lot of ouches ;-)
	6:09pm Linda Lee: oh did they? sure they would ~ because a diva makes it look easy.
	♥ 6:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There you go :-)
	6:10pm Linda Lee: and a talented daughter wants to emulate her talented mother, naturally!
	6:11pm Linda Lee: i could go into theories about talented mothers who may be even a bit narcissistic ~ as many performers must be ~ and trying to get their attention by emulation. however, that's another show :-D
	♥ 6:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: LOL!
	♥ 6:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Bobbie Gentry - another of my idols :-)
	6:13pm Linda Lee: oh yes! when i hear Bobbie I also think of Dusty. i've been listening to Norma Tanega this week. another amazing songwriter, who ~ for whatever reason ~ didn't get the breaks so many others did. she had to keep teaching.
	♥ 6:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Weird - I am literally putting together a show with the two of them for LHT. I'm glad someone else sees that connection!! :-)
	6:14pm Domenic: Hi GG. and nice conversation your all having.
	6:14pm Linda Lee: oh yes, of course! absolutely!
	6:15pm Linda Lee: you've entered the magic circle, Domenic! :-)
	♥ 6:15pm ParUbi of Pittsburgh: Learning a lot!
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dusty always had a Southern soul :-)
	6:15pm Domenic: I liked that Dusty / Bobbie program. Downloaded it from Mixcloud. You come up with great concept shows GG
	6:15pm Linda Lee: who is this????
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dom - I'm expanding on it for WFMU :-)
	6:16pm Linda Lee: isn't that pretty!
	♥ 6:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'd never heard of Ronnie Dyson until doing this show - lovely voice :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: yes.
	6:17pm Domenic: So many wonderful vocalists and music out there. Keep finding them.
	6:18pm Linda Lee: the early 70s did give a lot of room to vocalists of all kinds, no? that's when Merry Clayton recorded solo work, as well as Claudia Linnear! there's another show idea..
	6:19pm Linda Lee: i was also in love with Claudia Linnear! :-D
	♥ 6:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Merry Clayton!!! Oh yes! Lift Every Voice And Sing! Adore that record :-)
	6:19pm Linda Lee: here, you could do a show just on women Linda Lee had crushes on. :-D
	♥ 6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well, you have phenomenal taste so I may have to look into that ;-)
	6:20pm Linda Lee: here's where she steps on Mother's train a bit.
	6:20pm Linda Lee: then you'd have to bring in Fanny. :D
	♥ 6:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My daughter just said that Ronnie Dyson was in hair with Melba Moore :-)
	6:21pm Linda Lee: no! really!
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: He's the lead on Aquarius apparently :-)
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And CJ just said that he was only 18 when he did it
	6:22pm spacebrother: Finished the house repairs. Listening!
	6:22pm Linda Lee: oh my! i thought Ronnie was female! :-D
	♥ 6:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Greg! :-)
	6:23pm Linda Lee: hi Greg! here's Otis' amusing promo. :-D
	♥ 6:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I confess I had to look at the album cover because I thought he was a lady too :-)
	6:24pm Linda Lee: that's why i was talking about Merry Clayton & Claudia Linnear!
	6:24pm spacebrother: Hey GG and LL!
	6:24pm Linda Lee: i really like Julie London too.
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She has such a smokey voice :-)
	6:25pm Linda Lee: she knows what to do with it, too. she knows its limits.
	6:26pm Linda Lee: did she really do 'Yummy Yummy Yummy'? i must have this record.
	6:26pm Domenic: "a whisp of a voice" and yet so distintive.
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I would genuinely love to hear Lady Gaga do a Laura Nyro cover tho
	6:27pm CC: Hi Georgy Girl and all..!.. been doing some chores around the house myself but got your groove on... good tunes tonight!!!...
	6:27pm Linda Lee: ho! which one?
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi CC! :-)
	♥ 6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooo, that's a good question ...
	♥ 6:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'd like to see what she'd do with Emmie
	6:28pm Linda Lee: yes! great idea!
	♥ 6:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I think she'd do a fantastic job with Eli too
	6:29pm Linda Lee: yes!
	6:29pm Domenic: Was listening while cooking. Now time to hang with the Fam. Take all . Sheena is wonderful
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-)
	6:30pm spacebrother: I have some Julie London coming up.
	6:30pm Linda Lee: we all love Sheena when she behaves herself. :-) come back soon!
	6:32pm Linda Lee: i don't think Gaga would do badly with Flim Flam Man, do you?
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think they come from a similar musical sensibility :-)
	6:33pm Linda Lee: for sure.
	♥ 6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just went to the fridge because I thought I still had a pudding cup in there but I don't ...so now I have a pear. Healthier ... but I wanted a pudding cup. lol
	6:35pm Linda Lee: can you run out & shop without fussing much? i cannot stand having to get into a car & drive each time i want something special to eat.
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a corner shop that sells them :-)
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can't drive either - lol. Shocking!
	6:37pm Linda Lee: a corner shop.. sigh.. that's it, i'm coming out to Brighton to live under the pier. at least i won't have to drive.
	6:37pm spacebrother: Just did some errands on my Vespa, actually.
	6:37pm Mr Fab: Been listening when I can! That Bobbie Gentry version of Wedding Bell Blues was definitive.
	♥ 6:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah - Brighton's not really a driving town. Nowhere to properly park! :-)
	♥ 6:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Mr Fab! :-)
	♥ 6:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Greg - you're giving me Vespa envy! ;-)
	6:39pm Linda Lee: great! i'll be right there. :-D i'm simply sick of the car culture here.
	6:39pm Linda Lee: 'vespa envy' :-D
	6:40pm Linda Lee: hi Mr F! wasn't that nice?
	♥ 6:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I keep mistiming taking a bite out of my pear and then the record ends and I have to type with half bit of pear hanging out of my mouth. Most undignified ;-)
	6:42pm Linda Lee: that's dedication. :-)
	6:43pm Linda Lee: y'know .. about that mother diva thing .. i wonder if Laura wasn't partially writing for her mother.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The greatest sandwich I ever had was multi grain bread, dessert pear, soft fromage frais style cheese, and cracked black pepper. Divine.
	6:44pm Linda Lee: that sounds lovely.
	♥ 6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - interesting ...!
	6:44pm Linda Lee: because her songs aren't easy.
	6:45pm Linda Lee: but of course her mother wasn't singing them, she was, herself, without her mother's ability.
	♥ 6:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: On a couple of the covers you could people straining a wee bit
	♥ 6:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That pear was really nice. I may have to grab another one ;-)
	6:46pm Linda Lee: sure. there was a demand by .. whoever .. that they cover this popular songwriter, but .. gee!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wow - nearly at the end!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg is after me! www.wfmu.org...
	6:48pm Linda Lee: i'm sorry i was late!
	♥ 6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's alright - you're here now :-) That's the important part :-)
	6:50pm Linda Lee: your shows are too short as is! what's funny about this interview is that they both sound like they just shagged each other & they're having a cigarette after.
	6:50pm spacebrother: Ready! New DJ software to test.
	6:50pm spacebrother: @LL - That's just what I was thinking!
	♥ 6:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda - that's exactly what i was thinking! LOL! Although I'm not sure it was a cigarette ;-)
	6:51pm Linda Lee: not just me, then. thank you. :-D right, not tobacco.
	♥ 6:51pm Rich in Washington: We're ready to be your guinea pigs, spacebrother!
	♥ 6:51pm Rich in Washington: This show has been fantastic, GeorgyGirl!
	6:52pm Linda Lee: beautiful show, GG. thank you!
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I wonder if Dunhill records has anything to do with the cigarettes?
	6:52pm Dave In St Albans UK: I once tried to park in Brighton. It was the day of a motorbike meet up. After nearly two hours of looking for a few hours parking I gave up and ended up in Hove for the rest of the day Great fish and chips saved the day :-)
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you, Rich! :-)
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dave - it's a nightmare, truly
	6:52pm Linda Lee: gosh, that's rough, Dave!
	6:53pm ParUbi: Fantastic education for me :)
	6:53pm Linda Lee: i'll be very sad if i missed the 5th Dimension. :-(
	♥ 6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I will be sobbing through the last track, trust me.
	6:54pm spacebrother: I knew about LN, but now I know so much more! Thank you!
	6:54pm Linda Lee: oh dear.
	♥ 6:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: So happy you were all here :-) Hugs!!
	6:54pm Dave In St Albans UK: Wonderful show tonight DJ Georgy Girl. How can I download this? Want this as a permanent MP3 on my player.
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm blushing now!! :-)
	♥ 6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dave - Email me - DJGG@wmfu.org and I'll get a WeTransfer to you :-)
	6:56pm Linda Lee: i'd think you have to record it directly from the archive, with something like IShowU, then convert to mp3 in something like Audacity.
	6:57pm Linda Lee: a WeTransfer?
	♥ 6:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You can send large files via this free email service :-) No signing up or anything
	6:58pm Linda Lee: ah so! :-)
	6:58pm Dave In St Albans UK: A We Transfer! Love it.
	6:59pm Linda Lee: now i know! :-)
	6:59pm Linda Lee: i just fuss around with audio programs & never think to ask!
	♥ 7:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, DJ GeorgyGirl!
	♥ 7:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you all! :-)
