Listener comments!
	♥ 3:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Larry. I’m assuming Mr Innes is the focus.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt! Partially.
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from work on this cold, rainy afternoon in Green Bay. This is a test to see the effect of Testify! on my productivity.
	♥ 3:02pm Franco Twinkie: Hey ho Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff! Cold here, too, yet it's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Franco!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Erica: Hi everyone. Just taking care of personal things as I tune in.
	♥ 3:03pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s in the low 70s here overcast & humid
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	♥ 3:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Franco probably has better weather than I
	♥ 3:05pm CHUCK ROAST: Good afternoon, Larry. Didn't know you had moved.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey Chuck! Yes, these are the new digs!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: Hey Larry and Testifiers! Funky but Chic!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:07pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, It's real nice outside Matt, but I'm inside and still in my bathrobe slurping hot soup and blowing my nose.
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Jeff Ash: The 50s in Jersey. That is a damn shame. We get 6 to 8 inches of snow on Saturday.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm WR: Hi ho all. Listening. Eating. The usual.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I wish it would stay cold. These weird fluctuations play havoc with my allergies
	3:09pm CupcakeJenny: Boo!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey wife!
	3:10pm CupcakeJenny: Hello husband!
	3:10pm CupcakeJenny: Ok that’s creepy lol
	3:10pm Mod Mokka Matti: Darn it, sorry I'm late. I forgot to bring a note.
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey MMM! No hall pass necessary!
	3:12pm Mod Mokka Matti: I had a good excuse though - got distracted by playing some of my own records, and lost track of time ;-)
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: That's a good way to get distracted
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Erica: Hello Jenny.
	3:18pm CupcakeJenny: Hi!
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Erica: Watahmellon Mon.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm WR: We are being fully reminded that his nom de choice is Funky16corners.
	♥ 3:21pm Franco Twinkie: Amen brother! Feelin' like crap in the new decade.
	3:24pm CupcakeJenny: Not digging 2020 yet over here
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: We need a reboot
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm Erica: No Larry. We have enough cartoons making fun of Trump already. Haha!
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: I meant of the year so far. I'm cool with the original Schoolhouse Rock
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Digging the school house rock. I think these two are my faves.
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Bob Dorough do this live a few times
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Erica: Oh okay Larry. But the year just started. Give it time.
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Erica: I remember your Bob Dorough show from a couple years back. Seems like yesterday.
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: i wonder how many takes it took to get these lyrics out?
	3:31pm Mod Mokka Matti: I would be in favor of a reboot of the year as well. Maybe I can just back to my single-digit self and binge on some SHR cartoons.
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Uncle Michael: My oft-mention Uncle Jim was a dorm-mate of Frishberg's.
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Erica: Did you just get here Uncle Michael?
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Uncle Michael: Yes...just tuned in.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey Unk!
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Erica: You missed School House Rock songs.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Hiya, Larry. You look different in the daylight. Greets, all.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sweet Essence! It is in the harsh light of day that I have been known to frighten the weak of heart!
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm familiar with them!
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Uncle Michael: I have friends on the Schoolhouse Rock Rocks! tribute album.
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: Dig the Love quote...
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Erica: The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band were intentionally weird. yet not as psychedelic as expected in my opinion.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: This album is pretty trippy.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: I'm a big fan of unconventional psychedelia, in which all manner of mind-pictures are painted without leaning too heavily on hippie/LSD cliches
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy all Corners. Hearing Bonzo,and especially "We are Normal", is a real treat, Thanks Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin! My pleasure entirely!
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anybody "Hunting Tigers"?
	3:58pm CupcakeJenny: Time for me to leave school. Have fun everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm WR: The rice pudding line has been my guiding adage since I had this on repeat play on my turntable in my youth.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Bye Jenny! Seeya Later!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Erica: You too Jenny. Dang I cannot hold a note that long.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm dutchtheo: Bleep, humans and humanoids
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	♥ 4:03pm Brian C.: I missed the Beatles but I did catch "All You Need Is Cash" on TV
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Erica: The Rutles, aka the Beatles parody band. I remember during the Grammy Salute to the Beatles on CBS, there was this English guy who tried to talk about the Rutles but couldn't get all the words out haha.
	♥ 4:07pm Brian C.: First time caller, can't believe I got through
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Maybe the only song in history to have "Pusillanimous " in the lyric.Yah, Rutles!
	🥁 ♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: One of the definig aspects of the Python and Python-adjacent world, they were SMART
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Even the Ringo-zen drumming comes in for musical snark. How lovely.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: It is as perfect a piece of loving parody as has ever been made
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Yes.
	♥ 4:19pm Franco Twinkie: I remember when this was a hit! I was 10 years old and it seemed to me a normal thing to do - walk your cat, that is.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm WR: Learned of Tanega via WFMU. Amazing clever and joyful music.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: Every single time I've seen a cat on a leash it seemed to me to be an affront to nature (and the nature of cats)
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Erica: Same for me WR.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: If you find this album grab it. It was reissued on CD more than 20 years ago, and then on limited vinyl a few years back. The original has become very scarce.
	4:22pm Mod Mokka Matti: We had former neighbours across the street from us (and were good friends with) whose daughter (roughly same age as me) would regularly take the family cats on walks, with leashes - back in the early-mid 80s.
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Gotta go. Have a great weekend!
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Seeya Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: Been fun listening. Home this afternoon, just got my Squeezebox Touch to find this show (after many attempts), so I can listen through speakers instead of my phone.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Excellent! Always better on real speakers.
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Erica: See ya Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm doctorjazz: Funny thing...i know these songs, but the name Norma Tanega isn't familiar.
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: I wonder where you heard them? I know of (and will play) some covers but not of most of these
	♥ 4:30pm Franco Twinkie: In my mind I always associate Norma with the musical mood of San Francisco, which is off the mark because although she was from Vallejo in The East Bay, she was not at all part of that scene. But none the less, I see Victorian houses and fog when I hear her music. Case in point: A Street That Rhymes at 6AM.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, there's a very specific "feel" to her music.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: And oddly enough, discovered working at a summer camp in New York!
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: The 1st 2 or 3 seemed like I knew them, not the rest. Now some covers, which could explain things.
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm KevinfromBayRidge: My favorite part of "Things We do In the Shadows"
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: That show really put her back on the map
	4:38pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Who's at the Hammond on this Art Blakey arrangement?
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Malcolm Bass
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm doctorjazz: Now THIS QMS song was all over NY FM radio when it came out.
	♥ 4:46pm Franco Twinkie: All though by all accounts he was a first class a-hole, Dino Valente was a great singer song writer. Saw him in QMS along with the great Nicky Hopkins in 1971.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Sorry for being quiet but I’ve been doing stuff while the show has gone on.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: I ove QMS. One of my favorite things at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was John Cippolina's stuff
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm WR: Gotta run, thanks for great show Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Uncle Michael: This Kak track ain't whack.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye WR!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @UM - You ain't kiddin'
	♥ 4:51pm Matt from New Orleans: Terrible band name. Sounds like you’re clearing your throat.
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Great album, though...
	♥ 4:52pm Franco Twinkie: John was something! Chrestis brother smoked a joint with him at The Starry Plow in Berkeley. He told me John was a low key quite guy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm doctorjazz: San Francisco Sound (with some Dylanesque vocals). Don't remember this crew, but I see there is some buzz about then.
	4:52pm Erica: Yes it does Matt. Haha!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Uncle Michael: Before we had Captcha for naming bands, we had to use Yahtzee.
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I believe there was some intersection with Blue Cheer
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Maybe already heard Lou Reed...
	♥ 4:53pm Franco Twinkie: Everything Changes by Kak is one of my all time favorites. So sad, so true.
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm doctorjazz: Ah, The Heavy Metal progenitors...no trace of that here.
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. It was a very nice tribute to all three with some other goodies. Have a great rest of your day. I’ll probably see some you later on Danny’s board.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm dutchtheo: Great tribute Larry. Thanks! Kak meaning shit in dutch, btw
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Uncle Michael: Safe passage, Uncle Frank.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, much fun!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks UM! Unable to make it out to Ohio for the ceremony, we'll be having an Irish Wake down at my parents on Saturday
	♥ 4:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thank Larry. Good one straight out of the gate.
	4:58pm Erica: Time to do the flapper dance goodbye. Until next week!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Bye Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Eyes like old Svengali!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Sorry for your loss, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!

	♥ 4:30pm Franco Twinkie: In my mind I always associate Norma with the musical mood of San Francisco, which is off the mark because although she was from Vallejo in The East Bay, she was not at all part of that scene. But none the less, I see Victorian houses and fog when I hear her music. Case in point: A Street That Rhymes at 6AM.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, there's a very specific "feel" to her music.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: And oddly enough, discovered working at a summer camp in New York!
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: The 1st 2 or 3 seemed like I knew them, not the rest. Now some covers, which could explain things.
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm KevinfromBayRidge: My favorite part of "Things We do In the Shadows"
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: That show really put her back on the map
	4:38pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Who's at the Hammond on this Art Blakey arrangement?
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Malcolm Bass
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm doctorjazz: Now THIS QMS song was all over NY FM radio when it came out.
	♥ 4:46pm Franco Twinkie: All though by all accounts he was a first class a-hole, Dino Valente was a great singer song writer. Saw him in QMS along with the great Nicky Hopkins in 1971.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Sorry for being quiet but I’ve been doing stuff while the show has gone on.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: I ove QMS. One of my favorite things at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was John Cippolina's stuff
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm WR: Gotta run, thanks for great show Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Uncle Michael: This Kak track ain't whack.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye WR!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: @UM - You ain't kiddin'
	♥ 4:51pm Matt from New Orleans: Terrible band name. Sounds like you’re clearing your throat.
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Great album, though...
	♥ 4:52pm Franco Twinkie: John was something! Chrestis brother smoked a joint with him at The Starry Plow in Berkeley. He told me John was a low key quite guy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm doctorjazz: San Francisco Sound (with some Dylanesque vocals). Don't remember this crew, but I see there is some buzz about then.
	4:52pm Erica: Yes it does Matt. Haha!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Uncle Michael: Before we had Captcha for naming bands, we had to use Yahtzee.
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I believe there was some intersection with Blue Cheer
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Maybe already heard Lou Reed...
	♥ 4:53pm Franco Twinkie: Everything Changes by Kak is one of my all time favorites. So sad, so true.
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm doctorjazz: Ah, The Heavy Metal progenitors...no trace of that here.
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. It was a very nice tribute to all three with some other goodies. Have a great rest of your day. I’ll probably see some you later on Danny’s board.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm dutchtheo: Great tribute Larry. Thanks! Kak meaning shit in dutch, btw
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Uncle Michael: Safe passage, Uncle Frank.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, much fun!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks UM! Unable to make it out to Ohio for the ceremony, we'll be having an Irish Wake down at my parents on Saturday
	♥ 4:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thank Larry. Good one straight out of the gate.
	4:58pm Erica: Time to do the flapper dance goodbye. Until next week!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Bye Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Eyes like old Svengali!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Sorry for your loss, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
