Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Jeff Ash: I am ready to Testify! Greetings from Wisconsin!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm WR: LOL. with the volume low due to working, I didn't notice this was not the Stones.
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: We have the place to ourselves! Put your feet up.
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: These are local boys, from the Asbury Park area!
	♥ 3:05pm Michael 98145: Well, okay!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Michael!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: Hey Larry, here is overkill. wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm WR: Discogs search didn't find it, came up with a Japanese band called The Mods that did Jumpin Jack Flash in the late 70s.
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! And whoa...
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: I think there are probably two dozen Mods or more in Discogs. look it up by the label, Revelation VII
	♥ 3:08pm David Dichelle: This is very satisfying!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm WR: All those versions McGasko played and these three didn't make that program.
	♥ 3:10pm Webhamster Henry: Mae West is coming up, right? Or is that too Sheena Jungle Room-y?
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Henry! I have played Mae on the show before, but not today. Her Way Out West LP is cool!
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm WR: It's three of a kind, so, Next!
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Yup! Three tunes, then turn the page!
	♥ 3:12pm Webhamster Henry: I guess I was thinking of the Phyllis Diller version...
	3:12pm CupcakeJenny: Hi everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Erica: Hi all you Testifiers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: I can't help thinking about Go Go girls when this track is playing
	♥ 3:12pm Webhamster Henry: I got my Golden Throats mixed up!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Erica! Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:17pm Brian in UK: This is called deconstructing.
	🥁 ♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Indeed
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Brian in UK: Are they trying to make a monkey of this song?
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: I don't think the Monkees ever got quite that heavy.
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been a tribute album of the Who songs?
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: I don't know, but there are a bunch of covers out there
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Erica: You mean Monkee? Get it?
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Erica: Larry beat me to it I know.
	♥ 3:25pm Little Danny: Hey Larry, hey peeps.
	♥ 3:26pm Doug Schulkind: Soul-inflected boogaloo. There. I just need to hear myself say it out loud. It sounded good.
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny! Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: If your boogaloo is inflected with soul, dance, then see your physician
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: Ah, wonderful, "Wade in the Water" is one of those covers I look for.
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite songs. I have considered doing an entire Wade show...
	♥ 3:28pm Little Danny: Who's on guitar on this Big Mama side?
	🥁 ♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: I use to know. It's a black blues player sounding like Sam Andrew from Big Brother
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: I just looked it up at Funky16Corners. It's a guy named Bee Houston
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Brian in UK: Is this the band that played on Elvis Costello's first album?
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: One and the same, though minus Huey Lewis
	♥ 3:31pm Little Danny: Ha I just found it too. Thanks Larry. "...and the guitar solo by Bee Houston is killer."
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Future Doobie Brother John McPhee is playing lead on this
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: McFee...
	♥ 3:33pm Little Danny: "Bee Houston" sounds like an alias that a better-known musician would assume for some extra-contractual moonlighting.
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Bee be real! www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Little Danny, bit like George Harrysong.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm WR: I never thought of Wade in the Water as a guitar show case song, but the first two selects did, and now the man, Harvey Mandel.
	♥ 3:35pm Little Danny: That is a great pseudonym.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this 45 is WILD. I don't think the gospel originators would recognize it.
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: It's like, let's wade in the water, but let me put in a little LSD first
	♥ 3:37pm Little Danny: @Larry: Not to send you off-playlist, but have you seen the live footage of the Staple Singers doing it in '68? www.youtube.com... Pops still in full backwoods tremolo blues mode.
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Erica: Wade in the Water, psychedelic style, maaan.
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: I'll check it out after the show. The Staples will be making a covered appearance later in the show
	♥ 3:38pm Little Danny: Harvey Mandel sounds a bit like a Richard Evans production.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: It does. Produced by Abe Voco Kesh and arranged by Nick DeCaro
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Harvey grew up near Chicago, so maybe he was listening to the Soulful Strings...
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: The flipside of Cadet, Charles Stepney.
	♥ 3:46pm Little Danny: Indeed.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: Kim Fowley is on this record somewhere. Not sure if he's "Larry Green" or not
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm WR: Larry! come back!??
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Jeff Ash: Stream just dropped.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Erica: Stream change Larry?
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Jeff Ash: Back in action!
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: Just reconnected. Not sure what happened
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm doctorjazz: This must still be the stream.
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: It dropped again, I reconnected again
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Erica: It keeps dropping and undropping.
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Sorry folks, not sure what's up
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Its seems like my internet connection is OK
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: And I posted the tracks out of order...
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Erica: Why does it keep doing that now and then Larry?
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: I wish I knew
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: I loved Cilla Black. Back then.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: The album that her version of 1-2-3 is from is pretty cool. It has a great cover of the US soul tune The Real Thing
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Still coming through OK?
	♥ 4:18pm Webhamster Henry: I didn't know about this Nilsson cover!
	4:18pm Mike Sin: Mandel’s version of “Wade...” should have been featured during the groovy opening of a late ‘60s spy movie.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Get ready for two more!
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm WR: Yes, been stable since Staple Singers
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: This is an album often labeled as kitschy, but it is in fact quite good.
	♥ 4:33pm Webhamster Henry: From the tubular-bell pop era of the 60s.
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Which one, the trombones?
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: This is such a strange, haunting song
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. I don't think I've ever heard a bad version either
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Erica: It is haunting. The original version is as well.
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Brian in UK: Larry, you read my mind with Pentangle.
	♥ 4:40pm StringOFperils: An old fave. And hello!
	♥ 4:40pm Michael 98145: This is the peppy version
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - This is a fantastic 45
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Erica: Hey SoP!
	♥ 4:43pm Little Danny: Ah, nurts. Missed the Sally/Roses triptych.
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Brian in UK: Three of this and and I will be jelly!
	♥ 4:44pm Webhamster Henry: This blog entry goes well with your little Wichita Lineman setlet: www.retrospace.org...
	4:45pm Mark R: I think this is a GREAT version of "Wichita Lineman"--I have to confess I've never heard of Gloria Loring.
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: same here
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: She was married to Alan Thicke (Robin Thicke is her son). She made a couple of great pop albums in the late 60s and early 70s, then went on to write and sing a bunch of TV themes.
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Erica: And now it's an elevator music version.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm WR: You are doing excellent choices. LOL, Erica, I like the "elevator" version. The strings interestingly voiced.
	♥ 4:48pm StringOFperils: Those Jim Webb chord modulations make it all sound like elevator music at some level. It has a "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life" vibe.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @WR - I may do a whole show dedicated to Tartaglia's work. Much of his own work was pretty forward thinking and he did arrangements for a lot of interesting people
	♥ 4:51pm StringOFperils: This Kool & the Gang is pretty sweet.
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: They always fancied themselves a closet jazz band. Original name was The Jazziacs!
	♥ 4:54pm Michael 98145: Thanx for the ride
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Brian in UK: Kool Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Erica: Well this been an interesting show for your return Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	♥ 4:58pm Matt Fiveash: Fanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Matt!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Erica: Can't wait for next time. Hopefully there won't be any dropouts then.
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Have to catch the first sections in the archive. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks String!
	♥ 5:11pm Webhamster Henry: Some fine testifying today!
	🥁 ♥ 5:12pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Henry!

	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: She was married to Alan Thicke (Robin Thicke is her son). She made a couple of great pop albums in the late 60s and early 70s, then went on to write and sing a bunch of TV themes.
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Erica: And now it's an elevator music version.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm WR: You are doing excellent choices. LOL, Erica, I like the "elevator" version. The strings interestingly voiced.
	♥ 4:48pm StringOFperils: Those Jim Webb chord modulations make it all sound like elevator music at some level. It has a "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life" vibe.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @WR - I may do a whole show dedicated to Tartaglia's work. Much of his own work was pretty forward thinking and he did arrangements for a lot of interesting people
	♥ 4:51pm StringOFperils: This Kool & the Gang is pretty sweet.
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: They always fancied themselves a closet jazz band. Original name was The Jazziacs!
	♥ 4:54pm Michael 98145: Thanx for the ride
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Brian in UK: Kool Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Erica: Well this been an interesting show for your return Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	♥ 4:58pm Matt Fiveash: Fanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Matt!
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Erica: Can't wait for next time. Hopefully there won't be any dropouts then.
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Have to catch the first sections in the archive. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks String!
	♥ 5:11pm Webhamster Henry: Some fine testifying today!
