	♥ 3:01pm northguineahills: Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm WR: hi Larry and Testifiers.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Larry! Looking forward to today's show!
	♥ 3:02pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, all.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: NGH! WR! Candy-O! Danny!
	♥ 3:03pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Larry & everyone
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Yvang: Yes to Fuzz! Hi Larry, Candy O, Danny, WR, NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Matt! Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Sem: Hello, Larry, and California dreamers. Along for for the rad ride.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	3:06pm still b/p: Fascinatin' that not too many years earlier, though there were roots and progenitors, the sound and music aesthetic of these tracks really didn't exist, eh?
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Nope. 1965/66 was a tipping point where all kinds of threads started to come together
	3:07pm SquigY0: greetz larry and all
	♥ 3:07pm Michael 98145: round and round we go
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Michael!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - I was agreeing with you (poorly worded)
	♥ 3:08pm Little Danny: "Taxman" had a positive effect on pop music.
	♥ 3:08pm Power Papi: Sounds like the Mamas & Papas backing up Tommy Roe
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Erica: That Yeah part you mean Papi?
	3:09pm SquigY0: huge kudos and appreciation for your garage Iron Leg btw. So good.
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'd like to do a whole show (or a premium) of songs that use the Taxman framework!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Power Papi, just what I was thinking. And now LOVE's first album.
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Erica: Hi everyone! (forgot to greet you guys),
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: @PowerPapi - That was Curt Boettcher and friends backing up Tommy Roe
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:10pm SquigY0: Hey Erica :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Erica: And this Love song sounds like the 13th Floor Elevators.
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and pebbles and nuggets diggers., Love Love
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	♥ 3:11pm Little Danny: @Larry: Man that'd be great. I love that riff in everything. So propulsive.
	♥ 3:11pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'll have to start working on that!
	3:12pm Andrew Hollywood: hello <3
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Yvang: Love, The seeds, Seeds of Love.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Have I ever told my Sky Saxon story on the show?
	♥ 3:13pm Little Danny: Hearing the Seeds always reminds me of how unique their sound was.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	♥ 3:14pm northguineahills: da Buffaloes!
	♥ 3:14pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Dig that radically different 45 mix!
	3:16pm still b/p: Story, story!
	♥ 3:16pm Little Danny: I'm personally always down for a Sky Saxon story, Larry. I don't think I recall hearing yours.
	3:17pm zivilars: finally able to tune in live again ... thanks for your show(s), Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:17pm doctorjazz: A bit of BS is always welcome (at least Neil, Steven and the crew BS)! Hi all!
	♥ 3:18pm Phillippe Bastille: sounds like the GTD all star lineup!
	3:19pm zivilars: get 100% well soon, Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm Little Danny: Wow, Larry, glad to hear you're feeling better. That's intense. You sound strong and great if nothing else.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Candy-O'67: I almost wrote earlier that this was right up my alley, as well!
	3:19pm still b/p: Hope the stresses recede behind and all is better pronto.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Candy-O'67: Glad to hear you are feeling better, as well.
	♥ 3:19pm dreamyandseedy: congrats on vaccine part 1!
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: better health to you ...
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm doctorjazz: My older daughter got dose 1 today, bit achy and queasy, not too bad. Younger daughter gets dose 1 in a week. I got both, had no bad effects at all (but some folks in my office got pretty ill).
	3:22pm Andrew Hollywood: congrats on the vax and thanks for taking it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Zivilars! Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for the kind words. Feeling pretty good, especially psychologically.
	3:24pm zivilars: what a fantastic track!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a killer!
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm WR: high praise you give to Baker Knight and the Knightmares doing Hallucinations. when and how did you find out about that record.
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: I first heard it on a mix tape years ago and chased my own copy of the 45 for YEARS. I was a very happy boy when I finally put that one in my record box.
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: This Bobby Fuller track is so rapturous.
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, they had a lot of joy in their sound
	♥ 3:30pm Little Danny: Oh man this Deep Six track is a huge fave. I put it on last year's premium. That swooping guitar (or bass?) riff.
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Really Hard to schedule shots in New Jersey. My younger daughter, who's a teacher, and nervous about returning to the classroom, couldn't schedule one. Places would open slots at midnight, and they'd be gone before she could finish booking the slot. The only way she (and my older daughter) got them was through help of her boyfriend, who's a computer geek (works for Google...). He wrote a program that found open slots and booked one before it was taken.
	♥ 3:30pm northguineahills: Ok, there is sun outside finally need some vitamin D, and it's not hot, so I might take a saunter before the tourists come en mass tomorrow. (the bloody GOP CPAC maskless a-holes last weekend were annoying AF).
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Brian in UK: Oh the Mix Tapes. What great bands.
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That track is a mind blower, especially for 1966. It was aregional hit in Southern California
	♥ 3:32pm Little Danny: Indeed. They had an album, too, which I've never explored.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I managed to get mine by subscribing to a vaccine alert Twitter account that published when health departments et al were handing out appointments. I got mine about an hour away from home (yet still in Ocean County)
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Enjoy your walk!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've never come across the album
	♥ 3:34pm ike p: nice show today DJ Larry! loving this mellow groove on crystal ship
	♥ 3:34pm Michael 98145: US healthcare should NOT be this dysfunctional
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Ike!
	3:34pm still b/p: The female vocalist in Deep Six cut, so familiar. A bit like Spanky and our Gang singer, and a little like Grace Slick. Found name, Miss Dean Cannon, but no credits other than Deep Six.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - You're right, and think of all the months that were wasted when infrastructure could have been put in place
	♥ 3:35pm Michael 98145: did they brag about that at "T"PAC? /s
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: No doubt...
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Apparently the Deep Six appeared on Hullaballoo, but I've never seen the clip
	3:38pm still b/p: I agree with Biden's sentiment of response to TX and MS opening up, but his "Neanderthal" comment does no one any good. Is it encouraging, helpful or persuasive?
	♥ 3:38pm Little Danny: I'll see what I can find... p.s. Wholly unaware of this NGDB album. Love how straightforwardly sunshine pop that track was.
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The first two NGDB albums are full of stuff like that
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: My daughter drove about an hour for hers today (my wife drove her in case she had a bad reaction), up in Hackensack (I think they sang Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne the whole way there).
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is Teddy, Tim, and Mickey Rooney Jr
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Brian in UK: Certainly no Will the Circle.....vibe
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: Great sets, BTW!
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - They were a radically different band in the beginning than what they became
	♥ 3:40pm northguineahills: I'll be listening, Larry I can't even afford my topical medication, let alone the oral medication for my psychotropic psoriasis.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: How regional was the music in the 60s/70s? Was it difficult to break out?
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: I don't think it was hard to break out, but it was easier to be a big deal on a regional basis
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: Picture of the Rooney Brothers here. Mickey's DNA is everywhere www.45cat.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Erica: Larry you misspelled Brothers for "I'm Wondering".
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: I'll fix that!
	♥ 3:45pm Little Danny: '60s and '70s were probably the best years for a regional (or even solidly "local") record to get national airplay in the states, even if it were occasionally or somewhat fluke-ish.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Erica: Thanks Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'm always surprised when I find a local/regional pressing of a 45 that became a national hit. There are TONS
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: Larry, there are shows to be had about small record labels. Kama Sutra, World Jazz/Pacific etc. Easy for me to write ofcourse.
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Absolutely! World Pacific has tons of cool things.
	♥ 3:48pm Little Danny: @Larry: I know, it's dizzying. As a fetishist of first/local pressings it drives me crazy.
	3:49pm SquigY0: zomg the elevator symbolism :D
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Brian in UK: Got Lord Buckley in Concert on WP. Why has that full show on Lincoln's birthday at the Ivar never been released.
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: That pathway from local labels to national distribution is one of my favorite parts of older music. Who made the decision to pick a local mover for national airplay? There are some really obscure records, too.
	3:49pm still b/p: All of them hoping for national success? Or was there a decent and appreciative off-chart market to aim for?
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure who owns the WP catalog
	♥ 3:50pm Little Danny: I love the mid-'60s elevator metaphors. They seem to have been briefly de rigueur.
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: All aiming for the big time!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: One more!
	♥ 3:50pm Little Danny: Sony does, I believe.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Brian in UK: Little Danny, I was always an Otis fan!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Erica: The rest of the set I'm guessing is about elevators.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: This is a wildly far out record for 1966!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Erica: Or elevator operators I should say.
	3:52pm zivilars: having missed this show a few weeks, I immediately was remembered why I love Testify! so much ... Larry, your sets are always on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: There were pockets around the country where people had gone all they way lysergic by 1966!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Candy-O'67: Wish you could throw some 13th Floor Elevators in this set and 99th Floor from The Moving Sidewalks, but they aren't CA bands ;)
	3:52pm still b/p: The Lift Banke was a great band.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: I see what you did there...
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Candy-O'67: Well, maybe you could. Bobby Fuller Four is from TX, too!
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm doctorjazz: All this elevator motion is dizzying.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Candy-O'67: Haha, sure is, doctorjazz. Hey!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Brian in UK: What the f... do big labels know about anything, they never got hip to the current music scene for streaming. Just greedy with no music sensibilities.
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Bobby Fuller, like Sir Doug, Janis and in a smaller way the Elevators was an adopted Californian.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: Lamp of Chidhood featured Mama Cass's first husband, Jim Hendricks
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Candy-O'67: This is true, Larry. It's funny how those two states switch places a lot. I've also lived in CA for a long period of time and I'm from TX. I'm back in TX now, but it's funny. Seems that a lot of Californians have made an exit for TX in the past 10 year or so. It's back and forth all the time!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Brian in UK: I thought A&M was formed around '65. Three years too late.
	3:58pm Irene: I’m definitely getting a lift from these tunes!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Back in the mid-60s they were fleeing draconian drug prosecution
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Hi Irene!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Candy-O'67: Haha, Larry!
	4:00pm Irene: I’ve been listening and loving the music while out and about with errands.
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: discogs: "In summer 1968, Transamerica Corporation purchased all of the Liberty labels including World Pacific. Liberty and the rest of the labels were folded in with the United Artists Records label, also owned by Transamerica."
	4:02pm still b/p: Just saw that Giant Step was B-side to Last Train to Clarksville, so it's interesting that right outa the gate someone thought a little psychedlic break was a good idea in a Monkees song.
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm doctorjazz: Taj Mahal did a great version of Take a Giant Step (which for some strange reason I heard before I heard The Monkees version).
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Yes! Taj Mahal's solo version is very cool.
	4:12pm Andrew Hollywood: That whole Giant Steps album by Taj Mahal is really...gigantic
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: It is indeed! I think I had it on an Edsel reissue back in the 80s
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm doctorjazz: Amen, Andrew Hollywood!
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: Ah the Battle of the Bands.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: One of the greatest tonal disparities between an A and B side in all of recorded history.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: The Fabulous Dawgs.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm doctorjazz: Have out from when it was issued; Fishin' Blues on De Ole Folks at Home album (released together)also knocked me out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: From the start this has LHI fingerprints all over it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Lynn Castle was a hairdresser to the stars (liek Sonny and Cher)! She appears on an old episode of To Tell the Truth
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: I found the Rainy Day Friends!
	♥ 4:19pm Little Danny: Whoa did not know that about Lynn Castle. Wonder if she crossed paths with Jay Sebring? '60s Hollywood was certainly a smaller landscape.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: It's certainly possible.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but greetings from Wisconsin! Had to transcribe an interview, so only one audio stream at a time.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Erica: Rainy Day Friends sounds like the Mamas and the Papas.
	♥ 4:21pm Michael 98145: yes
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes! That's what drew me to the record.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Brian in UK: Thorin Oaken Shields brother?
	♥ 4:22pm Matt from New Orleans: @Larry I read that as I founded... and I was like wasn’t Larry a kid back then and then my brain started working again
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah. I was 4 in 1966
	♥ 4:23pm Little Danny: Man all of these Los Angeles record labels really blur together for me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This is a California surf group, covering a French band and singing it in a French accent
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: Was Philips, a Dutch company?
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: I think it was
	♥ 4:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Yup a subsidiary of the oil company now called ConocoPhillips which makes sense as vinyl is a petroleum byproduct.
	♥ 4:27pm Little Danny: Founding members of the original Sandals were Belgian, so perhaps the accents weren't so affected.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I had no idea! Maybe that's how they heard the record in the first place?
	4:29pm SquigY0: oh masculine. toxic :D
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m an idiot BTW. I conflated the American oil company with the Dutch multinational corporation. There’s no connection aside from a similar name.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: I would have made the same assumption
	♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: i've got a Masculine Intuition that i've done something wrong again
	4:34pm still b/p: Heard Masculine Intuition in last day or two and couldn't help imagining a couple of women in an audience as it was performed, sitting with their arms crossed and turning to look at each other with eyebrows slightly raised and and and "Oh, really?" expressions on their faces.
	4:35pm SquigY0: heh
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: The European Phillips label had a esoteric sort of distribution deal with Mercury Records in this country in the '60s. But, under Mercury's aegis, the Philips Records of Thorinshield, Changin' Times, etc. also became essentially a typical American subsidiary label all its own (with no hard connection to Europe). It drew from American artists and was oriented to the American market.
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Candy-O'67: KAK - yeah!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Brian in UK: Black Roses was a Clear Light favourite. I think Cliff de Young went on to make TV films.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - He made all kinds of films. Good actor.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: Kack over here means S..t.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Brian in UK: Great selections, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Sem: Enjoying the show +++. So good. Thank you, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 4:41pm Little Danny: Wow, this is trippy.
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: That fade-in reminded me of the Lyres' "Don't Give It Up Now."
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: You're right! I never thought of that!
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: enjoying all this. thank you. we lived for a time in Long Beach.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome!
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from New Orleans: This singer’s name reminded me of Bob Einstein’s character on Curb Your Enthusiasm
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Brian in UK: Justified Ancients?
	4:49pm still b/p: If I'm going to keep diagramming on the wall what song reminds me of song X and song Y with a touch of song Z, I'm going to need a bigger apartment.
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Wonderful show, Larry, always inspired by your selections.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: @still b/p: I hear ya.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - You need one of those corkboards with all the pushpins and the yarn
	♥ 4:51pm Michael 98145: what a creative decade
	4:51pm still b/p: Do it in the yard and get a drone view!
	♥ 4:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. It has been a fun show.
	♥ 4:52pm Little Danny: @sbp: Classic manic-obsessive detective home cork board style.
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Jeff Ash: Boy, this Don Agrati cut seems inspired by Nilsson's "Coconut."
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, much fun!
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - It sure does!
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: BTW - This is Robby from My Three Sons
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Jeff Ash: Oh, yes, I remember that from your long-ago blog posts about him.
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Great California trip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Theo!
	4:55pm still b/p: Pin it and string it, Jeff! Agrati had a connection that might've allowed him to get some King Family backup vocals on this.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Erica: Don, aka Robbie could sure sing Larry.
	4:57pm zivilars: thanks for a great show, Larry!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! Top-shelf show!
	4:59pm still b/p: Nicely fuzzy, jangled and psyched. Thanks! f I'm going to listen to go back and attempt to fill in all the giant diagram's blanks/question marks where I couldn't figure which other song I was reminded of -- couldn't pull it up in memory -- I'm going to need the entire King Family over here.
	5:02pm SquigY0: lol "i'm not a lunatic"
	🥁 ♥ 5:04pm WR: whoa, show over? A long set. Thank you Larry.
	♥ 5:05pm Little Danny: @squigY0: that made me laugh too. Larry just whipped through an overwhelming and complicated set of connections more succinctly than I believed possible.
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	5:06pm SquigY0: thanks Larry! Never ditch your lunacy!
	♥ 5:06pm dreamyandseedy: awesome show, thank you! excited for next week
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Erica: What a show! I'll tune in next week for the pledge show.
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Funky16Corners: I embrace my lunacy!
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 5:07pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	5:07pm SquigY0: as do we, sir. as do we. ;)
	🥁 ♥ 5:08pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I aspire to your description!

	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Sem: Hello, Larry, and California dreamers. Along for for the rad ride.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	3:06pm still b/p: Fascinatin' that not too many years earlier, though there were roots and progenitors, the sound and music aesthetic of these tracks really didn't exist, eh?
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Nope. 1965/66 was a tipping point where all kinds of threads started to come together
	3:07pm SquigY0: greetz larry and all
	♥ 3:07pm Michael 98145: round and round we go
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Michael!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - I was agreeing with you (poorly worded)
	♥ 3:08pm Little Danny: "Taxman" had a positive effect on pop music.
	♥ 3:08pm Power Papi: Sounds like the Mamas & Papas backing up Tommy Roe
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Erica: That Yeah part you mean Papi?
	3:09pm SquigY0: huge kudos and appreciation for your garage Iron Leg btw. So good.
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'd like to do a whole show (or a premium) of songs that use the Taxman framework!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Power Papi, just what I was thinking. And now LOVE's first album.
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Erica: Hi everyone! (forgot to greet you guys),
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: @PowerPapi - That was Curt Boettcher and friends backing up Tommy Roe
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:10pm SquigY0: Hey Erica :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Erica: And this Love song sounds like the 13th Floor Elevators.
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and pebbles and nuggets diggers., Love Love
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	♥ 3:11pm Little Danny: @Larry: Man that'd be great. I love that riff in everything. So propulsive.
	♥ 3:11pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'll have to start working on that!
	3:12pm Andrew Hollywood: hello <3
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Yvang: Love, The seeds, Seeds of Love.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Have I ever told my Sky Saxon story on the show?
	♥ 3:13pm Little Danny: Hearing the Seeds always reminds me of how unique their sound was.
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	♥ 3:14pm northguineahills: da Buffaloes!
	♥ 3:14pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Dig that radically different 45 mix!
	3:16pm still b/p: Story, story!
	♥ 3:16pm Little Danny: I'm personally always down for a Sky Saxon story, Larry. I don't think I recall hearing yours.
	3:17pm zivilars: finally able to tune in live again ... thanks for your show(s), Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:17pm doctorjazz: A bit of BS is always welcome (at least Neil, Steven and the crew BS)! Hi all!
	♥ 3:18pm Phillippe Bastille: sounds like the GTD all star lineup!
	3:19pm zivilars: get 100% well soon, Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm Little Danny: Wow, Larry, glad to hear you're feeling better. That's intense. You sound strong and great if nothing else.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Candy-O'67: I almost wrote earlier that this was right up my alley, as well!
	3:19pm still b/p: Hope the stresses recede behind and all is better pronto.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Candy-O'67: Glad to hear you are feeling better, as well.
	♥ 3:19pm dreamyandseedy: congrats on vaccine part 1!
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: better health to you ...
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm doctorjazz: My older daughter got dose 1 today, bit achy and queasy, not too bad. Younger daughter gets dose 1 in a week. I got both, had no bad effects at all (but some folks in my office got pretty ill).
	3:22pm Andrew Hollywood: congrats on the vax and thanks for taking it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Zivilars! Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for the kind words. Feeling pretty good, especially psychologically.
	3:24pm zivilars: what a fantastic track!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a killer!
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm WR: high praise you give to Baker Knight and the Knightmares doing Hallucinations. when and how did you find out about that record.
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: I first heard it on a mix tape years ago and chased my own copy of the 45 for YEARS. I was a very happy boy when I finally put that one in my record box.
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: This Bobby Fuller track is so rapturous.
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, they had a lot of joy in their sound
	♥ 3:30pm Little Danny: Oh man this Deep Six track is a huge fave. I put it on last year's premium. That swooping guitar (or bass?) riff.
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Really Hard to schedule shots in New Jersey. My younger daughter, who's a teacher, and nervous about returning to the classroom, couldn't schedule one. Places would open slots at midnight, and they'd be gone before she could finish booking the slot. The only way she (and my older daughter) got them was through help of her boyfriend, who's a computer geek (works for Google...). He wrote a program that found open slots and booked one before it was taken.
	♥ 3:30pm northguineahills: Ok, there is sun outside finally need some vitamin D, and it's not hot, so I might take a saunter before the tourists come en mass tomorrow. (the bloody GOP CPAC maskless a-holes last weekend were annoying AF).
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Brian in UK: Oh the Mix Tapes. What great bands.
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That track is a mind blower, especially for 1966. It was aregional hit in Southern California
	♥ 3:32pm Little Danny: Indeed. They had an album, too, which I've never explored.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I managed to get mine by subscribing to a vaccine alert Twitter account that published when health departments et al were handing out appointments. I got mine about an hour away from home (yet still in Ocean County)
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Enjoy your walk!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've never come across the album
	♥ 3:34pm ike p: nice show today DJ Larry! loving this mellow groove on crystal ship
	♥ 3:34pm Michael 98145: US healthcare should NOT be this dysfunctional
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Ike!
	3:34pm still b/p: The female vocalist in Deep Six cut, so familiar. A bit like Spanky and our Gang singer, and a little like Grace Slick. Found name, Miss Dean Cannon, but no credits other than Deep Six.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - You're right, and think of all the months that were wasted when infrastructure could have been put in place
	♥ 3:35pm Michael 98145: did they brag about that at "T"PAC? /s
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: No doubt...
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Apparently the Deep Six appeared on Hullaballoo, but I've never seen the clip
	3:38pm still b/p: I agree with Biden's sentiment of response to TX and MS opening up, but his "Neanderthal" comment does no one any good. Is it encouraging, helpful or persuasive?
	♥ 3:38pm Little Danny: I'll see what I can find... p.s. Wholly unaware of this NGDB album. Love how straightforwardly sunshine pop that track was.
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The first two NGDB albums are full of stuff like that
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: My daughter drove about an hour for hers today (my wife drove her in case she had a bad reaction), up in Hackensack (I think they sang Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne the whole way there).
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is Teddy, Tim, and Mickey Rooney Jr
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Brian in UK: Certainly no Will the Circle.....vibe
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: Great sets, BTW!
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - They were a radically different band in the beginning than what they became
	♥ 3:40pm northguineahills: I'll be listening, Larry I can't even afford my topical medication, let alone the oral medication for my psychotropic psoriasis.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: How regional was the music in the 60s/70s? Was it difficult to break out?
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: I don't think it was hard to break out, but it was easier to be a big deal on a regional basis
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: Picture of the Rooney Brothers here. Mickey's DNA is everywhere www.45cat.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Erica: Larry you misspelled Brothers for "I'm Wondering".
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: I'll fix that!
	♥ 3:45pm Little Danny: '60s and '70s were probably the best years for a regional (or even solidly "local") record to get national airplay in the states, even if it were occasionally or somewhat fluke-ish.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Erica: Thanks Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'm always surprised when I find a local/regional pressing of a 45 that became a national hit. There are TONS
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: Larry, there are shows to be had about small record labels. Kama Sutra, World Jazz/Pacific etc. Easy for me to write ofcourse.
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Absolutely! World Pacific has tons of cool things.
	♥ 3:48pm Little Danny: @Larry: I know, it's dizzying. As a fetishist of first/local pressings it drives me crazy.
	3:49pm SquigY0: zomg the elevator symbolism :D
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Brian in UK: Got Lord Buckley in Concert on WP. Why has that full show on Lincoln's birthday at the Ivar never been released.
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: That pathway from local labels to national distribution is one of my favorite parts of older music. Who made the decision to pick a local mover for national airplay? There are some really obscure records, too.
	3:49pm still b/p: All of them hoping for national success? Or was there a decent and appreciative off-chart market to aim for?
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure who owns the WP catalog
	♥ 3:50pm Little Danny: I love the mid-'60s elevator metaphors. They seem to have been briefly de rigueur.
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: All aiming for the big time!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: One more!
	♥ 3:50pm Little Danny: Sony does, I believe.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Brian in UK: Little Danny, I was always an Otis fan!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Erica: The rest of the set I'm guessing is about elevators.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: This is a wildly far out record for 1966!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Erica: Or elevator operators I should say.
	3:52pm zivilars: having missed this show a few weeks, I immediately was remembered why I love Testify! so much ... Larry, your sets are always on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: There were pockets around the country where people had gone all they way lysergic by 1966!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars!
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Candy-O'67: Wish you could throw some 13th Floor Elevators in this set and 99th Floor from The Moving Sidewalks, but they aren't CA bands ;)
	3:52pm still b/p: The Lift Banke was a great band.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: I see what you did there...
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Candy-O'67: Well, maybe you could. Bobby Fuller Four is from TX, too!
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm doctorjazz: All this elevator motion is dizzying.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Candy-O'67: Haha, sure is, doctorjazz. Hey!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Brian in UK: What the f... do big labels know about anything, they never got hip to the current music scene for streaming. Just greedy with no music sensibilities.
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Bobby Fuller, like Sir Doug, Janis and in a smaller way the Elevators was an adopted Californian.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: Lamp of Chidhood featured Mama Cass's first husband, Jim Hendricks
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Candy-O'67: This is true, Larry. It's funny how those two states switch places a lot. I've also lived in CA for a long period of time and I'm from TX. I'm back in TX now, but it's funny. Seems that a lot of Californians have made an exit for TX in the past 10 year or so. It's back and forth all the time!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Brian in UK: I thought A&M was formed around '65. Three years too late.
	3:58pm Irene: I’m definitely getting a lift from these tunes!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Back in the mid-60s they were fleeing draconian drug prosecution
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Hi Irene!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Candy-O'67: Haha, Larry!
	4:00pm Irene: I’ve been listening and loving the music while out and about with errands.
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: discogs: "In summer 1968, Transamerica Corporation purchased all of the Liberty labels including World Pacific. Liberty and the rest of the labels were folded in with the United Artists Records label, also owned by Transamerica."
	4:02pm still b/p: Just saw that Giant Step was B-side to Last Train to Clarksville, so it's interesting that right outa the gate someone thought a little psychedlic break was a good idea in a Monkees song.
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm doctorjazz: Taj Mahal did a great version of Take a Giant Step (which for some strange reason I heard before I heard The Monkees version).
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Yes! Taj Mahal's solo version is very cool.
	4:12pm Andrew Hollywood: That whole Giant Steps album by Taj Mahal is really...gigantic
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: It is indeed! I think I had it on an Edsel reissue back in the 80s
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm doctorjazz: Amen, Andrew Hollywood!
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: Ah the Battle of the Bands.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: One of the greatest tonal disparities between an A and B side in all of recorded history.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: The Fabulous Dawgs.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm doctorjazz: Have out from when it was issued; Fishin' Blues on De Ole Folks at Home album (released together)also knocked me out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: From the start this has LHI fingerprints all over it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Lynn Castle was a hairdresser to the stars (liek Sonny and Cher)! She appears on an old episode of To Tell the Truth
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: I found the Rainy Day Friends!
	♥ 4:19pm Little Danny: Whoa did not know that about Lynn Castle. Wonder if she crossed paths with Jay Sebring? '60s Hollywood was certainly a smaller landscape.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: It's certainly possible.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but greetings from Wisconsin! Had to transcribe an interview, so only one audio stream at a time.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Erica: Rainy Day Friends sounds like the Mamas and the Papas.
	♥ 4:21pm Michael 98145: yes
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes! That's what drew me to the record.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Brian in UK: Thorin Oaken Shields brother?
	♥ 4:22pm Matt from New Orleans: @Larry I read that as I founded... and I was like wasn’t Larry a kid back then and then my brain started working again
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah. I was 4 in 1966
	♥ 4:23pm Little Danny: Man all of these Los Angeles record labels really blur together for me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This is a California surf group, covering a French band and singing it in a French accent
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Brian in UK: Was Philips, a Dutch company?
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: I think it was
	♥ 4:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Yup a subsidiary of the oil company now called ConocoPhillips which makes sense as vinyl is a petroleum byproduct.
	♥ 4:27pm Little Danny: Founding members of the original Sandals were Belgian, so perhaps the accents weren't so affected.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I had no idea! Maybe that's how they heard the record in the first place?
	4:29pm SquigY0: oh masculine. toxic :D
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m an idiot BTW. I conflated the American oil company with the Dutch multinational corporation. There’s no connection aside from a similar name.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: I would have made the same assumption
	♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: i've got a Masculine Intuition that i've done something wrong again
	4:34pm still b/p: Heard Masculine Intuition in last day or two and couldn't help imagining a couple of women in an audience as it was performed, sitting with their arms crossed and turning to look at each other with eyebrows slightly raised and and and "Oh, really?" expressions on their faces.
	4:35pm SquigY0: heh
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: The European Phillips label had a esoteric sort of distribution deal with Mercury Records in this country in the '60s. But, under Mercury's aegis, the Philips Records of Thorinshield, Changin' Times, etc. also became essentially a typical American subsidiary label all its own (with no hard connection to Europe). It drew from American artists and was oriented to the American market.
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Candy-O'67: KAK - yeah!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Brian in UK: Black Roses was a Clear Light favourite. I think Cliff de Young went on to make TV films.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - He made all kinds of films. Good actor.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: Kack over here means S..t.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Brian in UK: Great selections, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Sem: Enjoying the show +++. So good. Thank you, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 4:41pm Little Danny: Wow, this is trippy.
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: That fade-in reminded me of the Lyres' "Don't Give It Up Now."
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: You're right! I never thought of that!
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: enjoying all this. thank you. we lived for a time in Long Beach.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome!
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from New Orleans: This singer’s name reminded me of Bob Einstein’s character on Curb Your Enthusiasm
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Brian in UK: Justified Ancients?
	4:49pm still b/p: If I'm going to keep diagramming on the wall what song reminds me of song X and song Y with a touch of song Z, I'm going to need a bigger apartment.
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Wonderful show, Larry, always inspired by your selections.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: @still b/p: I hear ya.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - You need one of those corkboards with all the pushpins and the yarn
	♥ 4:51pm Michael 98145: what a creative decade
	4:51pm still b/p: Do it in the yard and get a drone view!
	♥ 4:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. It has been a fun show.
	♥ 4:52pm Little Danny: @sbp: Classic manic-obsessive detective home cork board style.
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Jeff Ash: Boy, this Don Agrati cut seems inspired by Nilsson's "Coconut."
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, much fun!
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - It sure does!
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: BTW - This is Robby from My Three Sons
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Jeff Ash: Oh, yes, I remember that from your long-ago blog posts about him.
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Great California trip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Theo!
	4:55pm still b/p: Pin it and string it, Jeff! Agrati had a connection that might've allowed him to get some King Family backup vocals on this.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Erica: Don, aka Robbie could sure sing Larry.
	4:57pm zivilars: thanks for a great show, Larry!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! Top-shelf show!
	4:59pm still b/p: Nicely fuzzy, jangled and psyched. Thanks! f I'm going to listen to go back and attempt to fill in all the giant diagram's blanks/question marks where I couldn't figure which other song I was reminded of -- couldn't pull it up in memory -- I'm going to need the entire King Family over here.
	5:02pm SquigY0: lol "i'm not a lunatic"
	🥁 ♥ 5:04pm WR: whoa, show over? A long set. Thank you Larry.
	♥ 5:05pm Little Danny: @squigY0: that made me laugh too. Larry just whipped through an overwhelming and complicated set of connections more succinctly than I believed possible.
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	5:06pm SquigY0: thanks Larry! Never ditch your lunacy!
	♥ 5:06pm dreamyandseedy: awesome show, thank you! excited for next week
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Erica: What a show! I'll tune in next week for the pledge show.
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Funky16Corners: I embrace my lunacy!
	🥁 ♥ 5:06pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
