	10:04pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha, indeed, 6 feet from pants is a good rule
	♥ 10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Barbara Streisand’s cover of Grandma’s Hands from her Butterfly album in 1974.
	10:04pm Kris Holmes: hard to ruin a great song
	10:04pm Kris Holmes: i have not heard her version though
	♥ 10:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Worth a listen on YouTube. The album is a dollar bin find.
	10:07pm northguineahills: Thanks for the Withers....
	10:08pm Kris Holmes: whole lot more to come, gonna go well into the 2nd hour
	10:08pm Kris Holmes: one of the great artists of the generation
	10:09pm northguineahills: I'm only on lockdown day 21.... difficulty, FL (most of the state has only been locked down for 6 days....
	♥ 10:10pm Little Danny: Hey folks
	10:10pm Kris Holmes: Hi Dan
	♥ 10:11pm Franco Twinkie: Hey ho, Kris, Pajama pants for me on this night of howling rain in L.A.
	10:11pm Kris Holmes: still raining in LA? damn, how many days is that now?
	♥ 10:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings ...i'm wearing way too much pants
	♥ 10:12pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Mr. Withers
	♥ 10:12pm Franco Twinkie: I've lost count. It seems to go on forever.
	♥ 10:12pm Matt from New Orleans: It was fairly miserable here today high 80s and humid. Though other than grabbing my groceries from the porch and taking out the trash, I wasn’t out much.
	♥ 10:15pm Franco Twinkie: I walked to the coffee roaster about 3PM and got soaked on the way back. Thus, pajamas.
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: Hi Coel, too much pants isn't where it's at! It was 80 & pretty humid here today, I went out for a walk for about an hour, it was nice to get out.
	10:16pm northguineahills: @Matt: Same weather here in Orlando (although I don't get miserable in humid heat until around 98F/37C [I may have lived 16 years in NYC, but I grew in FL])
	10:16pm still b/p: RIP John Prine. Oh, what a song he coulda written about social distancing and the whirl of official bumbling.
	♥ 10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Franco I made myself some gluten free pies today. They were much better than I expected. One was peach blueberry and the other strawberry rhubarb. I used Thomas Keller’s cup for cup flour. My apartment was uncomfortable for a bit.
	10:17pm Kris Holmes: oh no, i hadn't heard that John Prize passed, last his wife posted he was on the up?? That sucks, RIP.
	10:17pm northguineahills: oh, chingado! John Prine finally succumbed, gofzdamnit!
	♥ 10:17pm Little Danny: NGH: Are you familiar with the TV series On Becoming a God in Central Florida? Very good season one.
	♥ 10:18pm StringOFperils: ah, dammit. I thought Prine was going to make it. Bummer.
	♥ 10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, nothing fixes a funky-ass day like a fresh pie!
	♥ 10:19pm JtotheK: Re: Butterfly and Babs -- I don't have the LP, but will procure when I find in a dollar bin, since it also has a David Bowie cover ...
	10:19pm northguineahills: @LD: nah, where is it streamed? I have a hate/sorta like relationship w/ this state.
	♥ 10:19pm JtotheK: Hiya Mr Holmes, hiya everyone.
	♥ 10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: It does Jason and a Bob Marley cover too
	♥ 10:21pm Little Danny: I can totally understand that NGH. Showtime.
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Bill was one of brother-in-laws customers, and he always said exactly that - Bill was the nicest guy.
	♥ 10:23pm coelacanth∅: i always thought Bill Withers was a good guy. don't remember why...i must've read an interview early on or something.
	♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: shit -rest in peace John Prine.
	♥ 10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: If anyone remembers No Diggity they probably recognized the opening of this song
	10:25pm northguineahills: I wish Bill recorded more, but sometimes you can beat perfection....
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: Hi Jason
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: exactly, what else did he need to do?
	♥ 10:26pm Matt from New Orleans: Columbia fucked with Bill for years in the 70s
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: major labels man :(
	♥ 10:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Indeed
	10:28pm northguineahills: errr, can't beat....
	♥ 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: Who didn't a major label fuck? Good riddance to the shits.
	10:37pm still b/p: Hesitate to get political here, but "Good riddance to the shits" immediately applied itself in my mind to Modley, the just-gone Acting Navy Secetary. A shit who wears a size-shit suit. May he land mouth-first in a shit pile.
	♥ 10:42pm coelacanth∅: a sing-a-long. i almost can't stand it, though i still love it. it's so overplayed, at least in my world, and invariably lots of people sing along to it.
	♥ 10:42pm coelacanth∅: -good to hear it in a different context again
	10:43pm northguineahills: Amen, still b/p (grew up in a Navy family, but I'm sure my father still supported him, b/c of the commander-in-chief.
	10:45pm Kris Holmes: such a smooth guitar solo
	10:47pm still b/p: Though maybe I shouldn't have brought it up and commented with that exact timing -- sort of inadvertently sneering/swimming against the humane current in Lean On Me.
	♥ 10:48pm JtotheK: Oh wow, Bill Withers from the soundtrack to a John Cusack movie - how nice!
	10:48pm Kris Holmes: I for one, have no idea who this Modley character is
	♥ 10:48pm coelacanth∅: heh s b/p , it's not a stretch from better off dead though!
	10:57pm northguineahills: episode clicky-starred!
	♥ 10:58pm chresti: Haha shit-size suit.
	♥ 11:00pm Little Danny: I have begged and begged you to speak Kiwi to me Kris
	11:01pm still b/p: Looking at Sunshine info, learned that Stephen Stills played guitar on it. And Bill did the extended "I know..." repetition as just placeholder for lyrics to come, but was advised by other musicians to leave it that way.
	♥ 11:03pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m trying to figure out what the innuendo is there Danny but I’m coming up blank
	11:04pm Kris Holmes: Dan I'm pretty sure I've spoken kiwi to you many times!!!
	11:05pm Kris Holmes: huh, Stills? I didn't know that, crazy.
	♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: interesting about i know i know i know .......it flows so well! (i knew it was Stills)
	11:05pm northguineahills: The key to Kiwi culture is Kris catapulting kewl christchurch cants (ok, I have nothing), Aotearoa....
	♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: (...like the countdown in a day in the life)
	♥ 11:05pm Little Danny: Dang what drums now
	11:06pm still b/p: A little training-wheels kiwi: "He dropped a jandal to make bitter time gitting here, but was rickless and munted the car."
	♥ 11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: What was that static?
	♥ 11:07pm Little Danny: Is referring to someone as a "Kiwi" potentially fightin' words?
	11:07pm still b/p: ...or "rickliss," I suppose.
	♥ 11:07pm Matt from New Orleans: Dean Rudland found this in the Westbound Archives when working on comps for BGP
	♥ 11:07pm Little Danny: Say coming from an Australian
	11:07pm Kris Holmes: no, we like it
	11:08pm Kris Holmes: it is never negative
	♥ 11:08pm coelacanth∅: i've spoken with more than one new zealander that referred to themselves as kiwis
	♥ 11:08pm Little Danny: Well-adjusted lot you Kiwis
	♥ 11:09pm Little Danny: There are Americans who'd still take umbrage with being labeled "yankees"
	♥ 11:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve been to New Zealand twice but it still seems like a fictitious place to me
	♥ 11:10pm coelacanth∅: (but then i've heard germans refer to themselves as krauts!)
	♥ 11:10pm Little Danny: I guess "yanks" is a bit more affectionate
	♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: i can't imagine being offended being called yankee...unless it came from an american!
	11:12pm still b/p: When I was in Texas, "yankee" was distinctly pejorative when aimed at northerners, both sportingly and seriously.
	♥ 11:12pm Little Danny: That's probably right, coel
	♥ 11:12pm Little Danny: Internal context
	♥ 11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve been called a yankee a number of times since I moved here. I take it as a badge of honor so while the inbreds were saying it as a pejorative I just laughed in their faces.
	♥ 11:13pm coelacanth∅: great version
	11:14pm northguineahills: @LD: That's true down here (even though there's a Yankeetown on the redneck gulf coast). I just take umbrage w/ the term as I don't want to be mistaken w/ a NY Yankees fan....
	♥ 11:16pm Little Danny: Wow, great version this Crowns of Glory, new to me
	♥ 11:17pm Little Danny: There's never really been a bad version I suppose
	11:18pm Kris Holmes: That's seriously some Kris Holmes style organ in the background there, dang!!!
	♥ 11:19pm doctorjazz: Hi. Just heard about John Prine a short while ago myself, very sad. A nice article about him... www.oxfordamerican.org...
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure it's been butchered on talent competition tv!
	♥ 11:26pm chresti: I know I know I know..
	♥ 11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Even though I heard a lot of these last night on Larry’s non-WFMU show I’m still digging it.
	♥ 11:29pm Little Danny: Based on the number of versions, "Ain't No Sunshine" was huge in the Caribbean
	11:30pm Kris Holmes: i think it was very huge in the islands
	11:30pm Kris Holmes: thanks Matt
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: i have this on a compilation lp but it does not have nearly as much reverb on the voice
	♥ 11:32pm Matt from New Orleans: This is from South of you Kris?
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard it when Big Crown reissued it
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: yeah, down near Corpus Christi but it was pressed in San Antonio
	♥ 11:39pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m putting the phone down and will listen out. Stay safe everyone.
	♥ 11:42pm Little Danny: Were you playing guitar on your group's version?
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: Funnily yeah I've seen it on several Bahamas tourism records!
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Now I'm wonder if there's a steel drum version......there has to be
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Negative Space is pretty cool
	11:47pm Dean: If I were a WFMU DJ, I would make a point to play least favorite band material more than occasionally.
	♥ 11:47pm Franco Twinkie: What ever you think if The Doors, this is one ripping cover!
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Way better than The Doors
	♥ 11:48pm chresti: Gotta be.Steel version.
	11:48pm Kris Holmes: I wouldn't have bought this because I hate The Doors so much so I'm glad he gifted it to me.
	11:49pm Dean: And you know that I have several least favorite bands. The Doors are one of those bands that could easily occupy the Pantheon of my least faves, but in fact I like their hits.
	11:52pm northguineahills: @Dean: I, too have a very mixed relationship w/ the Doors, I either love the songs or can't stand them...
	11:53pm northguineahills: oh, while I'm at it, thanks Kris!
	11:54pm Kris Holmes: you are most welcome
	♥ 11:54pm doctorjazz: I'm Archie Bell and the Drells, classic intro!
	♥ 11:55pm Franco Twinkie: The Doors seemed to create strong feelings even in people who can't articulate why they feel the way they do. Must be the leather pants.
	♥ 11:55pm JtotheK: thanks for the tunes, Kris! cheers everyone.
	11:55pm Kris Holmes: There's a cover by a totally different band & they still say that hahahaha
	11:55pm northguineahills: I may be in the minority, but I equally like Archie Bell & the Drells version for 'Tighten Up" and YMO's
	♥ 11:56pm coelacanth∅: i love some doors, maybe more than 1/2 of their output... but hello, i love you? total crap. and the whole soft parade album, except "wild child" is abominable!
	11:56pm Dean: Exactly, ngh. And if you listen first to, say, Glenn Danzig, then Morrison's interpretive powers by comparison seem skillful.
	11:57pm northguineahills: Soul Finger always reminds me of "Spies Like Us" (first time I heard it...)
	♥ 11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Okay! EVERYBODY loves The Bar-Kays.
	♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: right. however bad the doors sometimes were you can do worse.
	♥ 11:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Kris!
	♥ 12:00am Franco Twinkie: Morrison takes all the heat, but Manzarek was pretty insufferable too.
	♥ 12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Kris! take care
	♥ 12:01am chresti: Thanks Kris, see ya guys, remember safety first!
	12:01am Dean: Lord, yes, Manzarek was the snootiest in interviews. Full of himself.
	♥ 5:24pm Michael 98145: Great show. Thanks!

	11:07pm Kris Holmes: no, we like it
	11:08pm Kris Holmes: it is never negative
	♥ 11:08pm coelacanth∅: i've spoken with more than one new zealander that referred to themselves as kiwis
	♥ 11:08pm Little Danny: Well-adjusted lot you Kiwis
	♥ 11:09pm Little Danny: There are Americans who'd still take umbrage with being labeled "yankees"
	♥ 11:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve been to New Zealand twice but it still seems like a fictitious place to me
	♥ 11:10pm coelacanth∅: (but then i've heard germans refer to themselves as krauts!)
	♥ 11:10pm Little Danny: I guess "yanks" is a bit more affectionate
	♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: i can't imagine being offended being called yankee...unless it came from an american!
	11:12pm still b/p: When I was in Texas, "yankee" was distinctly pejorative when aimed at northerners, both sportingly and seriously.
	♥ 11:12pm Little Danny: That's probably right, coel
	♥ 11:12pm Little Danny: Internal context
	♥ 11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve been called a yankee a number of times since I moved here. I take it as a badge of honor so while the inbreds were saying it as a pejorative I just laughed in their faces.
	♥ 11:13pm coelacanth∅: great version
	11:14pm northguineahills: @LD: That's true down here (even though there's a Yankeetown on the redneck gulf coast). I just take umbrage w/ the term as I don't want to be mistaken w/ a NY Yankees fan....
	♥ 11:16pm Little Danny: Wow, great version this Crowns of Glory, new to me
	♥ 11:17pm Little Danny: There's never really been a bad version I suppose
	11:18pm Kris Holmes: That's seriously some Kris Holmes style organ in the background there, dang!!!
	♥ 11:19pm doctorjazz: Hi. Just heard about John Prine a short while ago myself, very sad. A nice article about him... www.oxfordamerican.org...
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure it's been butchered on talent competition tv!
	♥ 11:26pm chresti: I know I know I know..
	♥ 11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Even though I heard a lot of these last night on Larry’s non-WFMU show I’m still digging it.
	♥ 11:29pm Little Danny: Based on the number of versions, "Ain't No Sunshine" was huge in the Caribbean
	11:30pm Kris Holmes: i think it was very huge in the islands
	11:30pm Kris Holmes: thanks Matt
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: i have this on a compilation lp but it does not have nearly as much reverb on the voice
	♥ 11:32pm Matt from New Orleans: This is from South of you Kris?
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard it when Big Crown reissued it
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: yeah, down near Corpus Christi but it was pressed in San Antonio
	♥ 11:39pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m putting the phone down and will listen out. Stay safe everyone.
	♥ 11:42pm Little Danny: Were you playing guitar on your group's version?
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: Funnily yeah I've seen it on several Bahamas tourism records!
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Now I'm wonder if there's a steel drum version......there has to be
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Negative Space is pretty cool
	11:47pm Dean: If I were a WFMU DJ, I would make a point to play least favorite band material more than occasionally.
	♥ 11:47pm Franco Twinkie: What ever you think if The Doors, this is one ripping cover!
	11:47pm Kris Holmes: Way better than The Doors
	♥ 11:48pm chresti: Gotta be.Steel version.
	11:48pm Kris Holmes: I wouldn't have bought this because I hate The Doors so much so I'm glad he gifted it to me.
	11:49pm Dean: And you know that I have several least favorite bands. The Doors are one of those bands that could easily occupy the Pantheon of my least faves, but in fact I like their hits.
	11:52pm northguineahills: @Dean: I, too have a very mixed relationship w/ the Doors, I either love the songs or can't stand them...
	11:53pm northguineahills: oh, while I'm at it, thanks Kris!
	11:54pm Kris Holmes: you are most welcome
	♥ 11:54pm doctorjazz: I'm Archie Bell and the Drells, classic intro!
	♥ 11:55pm Franco Twinkie: The Doors seemed to create strong feelings even in people who can't articulate why they feel the way they do. Must be the leather pants.
	♥ 11:55pm JtotheK: thanks for the tunes, Kris! cheers everyone.
	11:55pm Kris Holmes: There's a cover by a totally different band & they still say that hahahaha
	11:55pm northguineahills: I may be in the minority, but I equally like Archie Bell & the Drells version for 'Tighten Up" and YMO's
	♥ 11:56pm coelacanth∅: i love some doors, maybe more than 1/2 of their output... but hello, i love you? total crap. and the whole soft parade album, except "wild child" is abominable!
	11:56pm Dean: Exactly, ngh. And if you listen first to, say, Glenn Danzig, then Morrison's interpretive powers by comparison seem skillful.
	11:57pm northguineahills: Soul Finger always reminds me of "Spies Like Us" (first time I heard it...)
	♥ 11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Okay! EVERYBODY loves The Bar-Kays.
	♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: right. however bad the doors sometimes were you can do worse.
	♥ 11:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Kris!
	♥ 12:00am Franco Twinkie: Morrison takes all the heat, but Manzarek was pretty insufferable too.
	♥ 12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Kris! take care
	♥ 12:01am chresti: Thanks Kris, see ya guys, remember safety first!
	12:01am Dean: Lord, yes, Manzarek was the snootiest in interviews. Full of himself.
	♥ 5:24pm Michael 98145: Great show. Thanks!
