	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Dreamy!
	♥ 3:18pm coelacanth∅: Bam! Right on!
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: @Sem - Papa was the Temps last big hit.
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	♥ 3:19pm coelacanth∅: and the temps hated it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Sem: It was a monster, Larry, glad I was there for the big finish...
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: CRAZY!
	♥ 3:19pm dreamyandseedy: sad that i never had an experience like that with the radio. but now i wonder what the local "oldies" station sounded like late at night
	♥ 3:20pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe "resented" it would be more accurate)
	3:20pm mauri: Sem, hyvin! Working and taking it easy. How've you been?
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Sem: Working AND taking it easy? Living that life here, mauri, just like you there.
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: @Dreamy - I often tell my sons about the time I spent after lights out listening to all kinds of stuff on the radio, including TV broadcasts at the bottom of the FM dial
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: @C - The level of resentment could only grow, as Whitfield's influence/contributions to their records increased
	♥ 3:24pm Franco Twinkie: Back in the 1980's before we lived in our house, I would drive over from Pasadena to fix all the stuff that was broken. Often I would pass by Isaac Hayes taking his girlfriend to work at the nail salon up the street. He had a blue Caddy with personal plates that said MR. HAYES. He was an expert at the 'Gangster Lean' - driving scrunched down against the door. I only saw him for a couple of years, then never again.
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: That's cool! I remember hearing at one point, Stax/Enterprise bought him a gold plated Caddy
	♥ 3:25pm coelacanth∅: it's a shame Larry. so many amazing later cuts, not just vocal tracks but that doesn't detract from the vocals within them. i guess the group didn't see it that way.
	♥ 3:26pm dreamyandseedy: isn't that car in the Stax museum in Tennessee?
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Peabo Bryson was in this group when they started. I'm not sure if he appears on this 45
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: @Dreamy - I think so
	♥ 3:32pm Little Danny: wow, this is great - i knew of moses dillard but had no idea he had any 45s on curtom
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is one of my fave 45s. Sooooooo deep.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: I think recorded in South Carolina and picked up by Curtom
	♥ 3:34pm dreamyandseedy: there is a song that sampled the beginning of that Moses Dillard one and it's killing me that i can't think of it! never heard that song before, gorgeous!
	♥ 3:36pm Franco Twinkie: I've stopped working to give this song my full attention.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Dreamy - I see a ref that says it was sampled by Roc Marciano on a song called 'Raw Deal"
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - A great, hidden masterpiece buried deep in Johnny's discography. Written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed, produced by Bell
	♥ 3:38pm dreamyandseedy: i did take a look at whosampled but that's not the one i am trying to remember. thank you though :) it will be fun for me to try and figure this out
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: Let me know if you find it
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Erica: Mathis being funky. 😎
	♥ 3:40pm Franco Twinkie: The orchestration was TV hospital drama mixed with Blaxploitation chase scene.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Bell did something similar for Dionne Warwick with 'Track of the Cat'
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: "tv hospital drama" :)
	♥ 3:41pm Franco Twinkie: How many lost afternoons watching reruns Danny.
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Sem: Nice, nice, nice, this.
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Hi Larry, just going to slip into something more comfortable!
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! Silk pajamas music!
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: You bet.
	3:43pm still b/p: I'm here to slip into something more buttery.
	♥ 3:44pm Little Danny: lol still b/p
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: The incense and scented candles are going to start a fire
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Brian in UK: Still b/p salted or unsalted?
	3:44pm still b/p: Saltayyyyyy.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: here comes the fuzzzzz
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Brian in UK: Believe it or not, the first Lewis Taylor record would not be out of place here.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: I don't know him. Gotta check it out
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: still b/p you betcha.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Erica: Saltay buttah with fuzz. Yum!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm zzz: this track is the SHIT you put the hurt on me!!!
	3:47pm still b/p: After possible exposure from people I worked with, a home test was negative on Tuesday, then a Tuesday PCR test result received Wednesday was negative. Today a sore throat and two home tests said yahhhhh, positive. So I'm actually slipping into something more isolated.
	3:47pm adamdoesit: Hello Rev. Larry and hot buttered salts. I tried to walk in by. I could not.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! If Ike never did one other thing, this would make him a lock for the hall of fame
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: Mr. Hayes was into this atmospheric, take your time, arrangements. Suits him, it seems.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: hey adamdoesit!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Sem - His late 60s/early 70s albums are full of stuff like this
	♥ 3:49pm coelacanth∅: while my computer was fucking up (i didn't even know walk on by was playing) i thought about that horn part in i think it's the Johnny Mathis song...sounds a lot like that of "born in the ghetto" by hot chocolate.
	♥ 3:49pm Little Danny: uh oh still b/p, sorry to hear!
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Sem: As I recall through the mists of time.
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: SBP - sorry to hear that. Are you vaxxed abd boosted?
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm zzz: feel well @still bp. i find i’m starting to get back into that creeping covid paranoia again thay seems to bubble up around every few months
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Brian in UK: Larry, an interesting fella. Recorded for Island. The Lost Album is catchy. Even made a remake of Trout Mask Replica. en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: All of us Grogans got boosted last week.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: If you've never seen the movie Dead Presidents, they make excellent/unusual use of this track on the soundtrack
	♥ 3:51pm Franco Twinkie: I got poke number four about three weeks ago.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Brian in UK: still b/p, take it steady, my friend.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Yes, hopefully it won't be too rough a ride.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm WR: I'm here to Testify rhat there was a time when young naive me thought Porter Hayes was the guy writing and arranging so much great music.
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth∅: this is one of those tracks that harshly divides the people in the bar when i play it on the jukebox ...as one could predict!
	3:53pm adamdoesit: speedy recovery, still b/p.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: Who wouldn't like this?!? I mean REALLY...
	3:54pm still b/p: Oh, yeah, I'm V&B. Just like a standard cold settling in so far. I'm optimistic I won't get the ass-kick or dangerous edition. My girlfriend left for a long overseas journey this morning and the goodbye had to be distanced. She was anxious x 10 about important-personal-stakes journey getting torpedoed by virus developments or direct infection. And, damn, the hoops to jump through for the trip out and back....mama mia. Thanks, everyone.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm zzz: love it @coela
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: For some reason this music reminds me of going to Venice Beach. I think because I would drive thru mid-city when the freeway was backed up. No beach culture there.
	3:55pm bradford: this how you do it!
	♥ 3:55pm coelacanth∅: Larry -usually it's the ones that play 2 hours of shitty rap music
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Brian in UK: What is a jukebox. Nothing over 3.21 should be on a jukebox.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: CD jukes can play anything!
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm zzz: but Hayes is the true OG!
	3:57pm still b/p: Production on that was great and big enough without trickery, effects hash or a wave of studio overkill crashing on you.
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: "internet" jukebox. but over 1/2 of what i want to play is not in there.
	♥ 3:58pm coelacanth∅: zzz I KNOW!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Erica: 4 hour show? I hope I can hang in there.
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Brian in UK: Johnny Cash could make songs his own.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think next week's show will be right up your alley
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Erica: I hope it's good Larry.
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth∅: Brian -absolutely
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Jeff Ash: Took longer than I thought to track down a copy of the "Masterpiece" LP, but I finally did after you tipped me to it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: Worth the time!
	4:07pm dreamyandseedy: @brian in uk: agree on lewis taylor! i’d never heard of him before but saw him mentioned on the Duane Train board a while back
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Erica: The Ghettoooo..
	4:08pm dreamyandseedy: “walk on by” is one of those songs that turns a switch in your head that can never be turned off
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: The rhythm guitar on this track is hypnotic. Just kind of wandering around in the background
	4:09pm Little Danny: I feel like these heavily string-orchestrated mini-suites would get channeled in turn by the Philly soul scene (as well as cats like Barry White), eventually evolving into disco’s showpiece arrangements
	🥁 ♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I agree. The influence was profound
	🥁 ♥ 4:09pm Erica: I should make a playlist of songs mentioning the ghetto.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'd like to see that
	♥ 4:11pm coelacanth∅: i stumbled upon masterpiece and 3 other temps albums in a used book store on 1/2-price day when i had no idea what any of them sounded like; but i knew 'rolling stone so i bought them all. $1.50 each in reasonable condition.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: There's a great cover of this by Grover Washington Jr on one of his Kudu Soul Box albums
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: @C - That was a good buy!
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Erica: I found a few. Have you heard of "Let's Clean Up the Ghetto"? There are two versions I believe.
	♥ 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: This is brings to mind an apartment building on South La Brea with tropical foliage in front.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Wasn't that the all-star Philly benefit record?
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: Franco, amazing how music can put you back to a time before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Erica: Yes Larry.
	♥ 4:16pm coelacanth∅: Larry, for sure. the one i was most looking forward to,"psychedelic shack", was the most disappointing. sky's the limit the best surprise. of course i liked all directions and puzzle people is okay. that's 5, not 4!
	♥ 4:16pm Franco Twinkie: Brian, 1973 was so potent. It still infects my dreams.
	4:22pm CalZone!: Better late than never...
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Cal!
	♥ 4:22pm Franco Twinkie: These extended jazz-funk jams just kill me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: The CTI/Kudu axis of head music
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Franco, I moved out of home, last day of 1972. Twenty & wide eyed. Oh boy! Music was the constant friend.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This one even has a Beastie Boys sample in it!
	♥ 4:25pm Franco Twinkie: I was still in high school Brain, but going out a lot to hear music.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Jeff Ash: Gotta fly. Good show! Thanks, Larry. Catch you Sunday morning.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: Later Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Sem: Can't tell you how often, gigging as a DJ at a little dance club, I'd play Mr. Magic, and the crowd would just absorb it, as a group, and chill the hell out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: I love Grover's early stuff.
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: This and the Johnny Hammond Smith, both arranged by Bob James, produced by Rudy Van Gelder
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Actually "produced" by Creed Taylor, engineered by RVG
	4:39pm djnogoodnick: Hey Larry and drummerstreamers! Saxy grooves for a Thursday afternoon.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey Nick! I was just about to post a link to your playlist but I don't see it yet.
	4:43pm dreamyandseedy: trouble man was amazing!
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: Glad you dug it!
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: that little recurring keyboard(?) figure in this is so cool
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: I don't know if it was ever sampled
	4:45pm djnogoodnick: Love this version of this.. sounds off-kilter!
	4:45pm djnogoodnick: Ah yeah, I'm "at work" still and haven't set it up yet. Doing that now.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Right off the soundtrack album
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Erica: Wah wah wah. 🎸

	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Erica: Mathis being funky. 😎
	♥ 3:40pm Franco Twinkie: The orchestration was TV hospital drama mixed with Blaxploitation chase scene.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: Bell did something similar for Dionne Warwick with 'Track of the Cat'
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: "tv hospital drama" :)
	♥ 3:41pm Franco Twinkie: How many lost afternoons watching reruns Danny.
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Sem: Nice, nice, nice, this.
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Hi Larry, just going to slip into something more comfortable!
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! Silk pajamas music!
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Brian in UK: You bet.
	3:43pm still b/p: I'm here to slip into something more buttery.
	♥ 3:44pm Little Danny: lol still b/p
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: The incense and scented candles are going to start a fire
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Brian in UK: Still b/p salted or unsalted?
	3:44pm still b/p: Saltayyyyyy.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: here comes the fuzzzzz
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Brian in UK: Believe it or not, the first Lewis Taylor record would not be out of place here.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: I don't know him. Gotta check it out
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Brian in UK: still b/p you betcha.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Erica: Saltay buttah with fuzz. Yum!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm zzz: this track is the SHIT you put the hurt on me!!!
	3:47pm still b/p: After possible exposure from people I worked with, a home test was negative on Tuesday, then a Tuesday PCR test result received Wednesday was negative. Today a sore throat and two home tests said yahhhhh, positive. So I'm actually slipping into something more isolated.
	3:47pm adamdoesit: Hello Rev. Larry and hot buttered salts. I tried to walk in by. I could not.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! If Ike never did one other thing, this would make him a lock for the hall of fame
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Sem: Mr. Hayes was into this atmospheric, take your time, arrangements. Suits him, it seems.
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: hey adamdoesit!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Sem - His late 60s/early 70s albums are full of stuff like this
	♥ 3:49pm coelacanth∅: while my computer was fucking up (i didn't even know walk on by was playing) i thought about that horn part in i think it's the Johnny Mathis song...sounds a lot like that of "born in the ghetto" by hot chocolate.
	♥ 3:49pm Little Danny: uh oh still b/p, sorry to hear!
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Sem: As I recall through the mists of time.
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: SBP - sorry to hear that. Are you vaxxed abd boosted?
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm zzz: feel well @still bp. i find i’m starting to get back into that creeping covid paranoia again thay seems to bubble up around every few months
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Brian in UK: Larry, an interesting fella. Recorded for Island. The Lost Album is catchy. Even made a remake of Trout Mask Replica. en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: All of us Grogans got boosted last week.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: If you've never seen the movie Dead Presidents, they make excellent/unusual use of this track on the soundtrack
	♥ 3:51pm Franco Twinkie: I got poke number four about three weeks ago.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Brian in UK: still b/p, take it steady, my friend.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: Yes, hopefully it won't be too rough a ride.
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm WR: I'm here to Testify rhat there was a time when young naive me thought Porter Hayes was the guy writing and arranging so much great music.
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth∅: this is one of those tracks that harshly divides the people in the bar when i play it on the jukebox ...as one could predict!
	3:53pm adamdoesit: speedy recovery, still b/p.
	🥁 ♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: Who wouldn't like this?!? I mean REALLY...
	3:54pm still b/p: Oh, yeah, I'm V&B. Just like a standard cold settling in so far. I'm optimistic I won't get the ass-kick or dangerous edition. My girlfriend left for a long overseas journey this morning and the goodbye had to be distanced. She was anxious x 10 about important-personal-stakes journey getting torpedoed by virus developments or direct infection. And, damn, the hoops to jump through for the trip out and back....mama mia. Thanks, everyone.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm zzz: love it @coela
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: For some reason this music reminds me of going to Venice Beach. I think because I would drive thru mid-city when the freeway was backed up. No beach culture there.
	3:55pm bradford: this how you do it!
	♥ 3:55pm coelacanth∅: Larry -usually it's the ones that play 2 hours of shitty rap music
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Brian in UK: What is a jukebox. Nothing over 3.21 should be on a jukebox.
	🥁 ♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: CD jukes can play anything!
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm zzz: but Hayes is the true OG!
	3:57pm still b/p: Production on that was great and big enough without trickery, effects hash or a wave of studio overkill crashing on you.
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: "internet" jukebox. but over 1/2 of what i want to play is not in there.
	♥ 3:58pm coelacanth∅: zzz I KNOW!!
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm Erica: 4 hour show? I hope I can hang in there.
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Brian in UK: Johnny Cash could make songs his own.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think next week's show will be right up your alley
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Erica: I hope it's good Larry.
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth∅: Brian -absolutely
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Jeff Ash: Took longer than I thought to track down a copy of the "Masterpiece" LP, but I finally did after you tipped me to it.
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: Worth the time!
	4:07pm dreamyandseedy: @brian in uk: agree on lewis taylor! i’d never heard of him before but saw him mentioned on the Duane Train board a while back
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Erica: The Ghettoooo..
	4:08pm dreamyandseedy: “walk on by” is one of those songs that turns a switch in your head that can never be turned off
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: The rhythm guitar on this track is hypnotic. Just kind of wandering around in the background
	4:09pm Little Danny: I feel like these heavily string-orchestrated mini-suites would get channeled in turn by the Philly soul scene (as well as cats like Barry White), eventually evolving into disco’s showpiece arrangements
	🥁 ♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I agree. The influence was profound
	🥁 ♥ 4:09pm Erica: I should make a playlist of songs mentioning the ghetto.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'd like to see that
	♥ 4:11pm coelacanth∅: i stumbled upon masterpiece and 3 other temps albums in a used book store on 1/2-price day when i had no idea what any of them sounded like; but i knew 'rolling stone so i bought them all. $1.50 each in reasonable condition.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: There's a great cover of this by Grover Washington Jr on one of his Kudu Soul Box albums
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: @C - That was a good buy!
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Erica: I found a few. Have you heard of "Let's Clean Up the Ghetto"? There are two versions I believe.
	♥ 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: This is brings to mind an apartment building on South La Brea with tropical foliage in front.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Wasn't that the all-star Philly benefit record?
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: Franco, amazing how music can put you back to a time before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Erica: Yes Larry.
	♥ 4:16pm coelacanth∅: Larry, for sure. the one i was most looking forward to,"psychedelic shack", was the most disappointing. sky's the limit the best surprise. of course i liked all directions and puzzle people is okay. that's 5, not 4!
	♥ 4:16pm Franco Twinkie: Brian, 1973 was so potent. It still infects my dreams.
	4:22pm CalZone!: Better late than never...
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Cal!
	♥ 4:22pm Franco Twinkie: These extended jazz-funk jams just kill me.
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: The CTI/Kudu axis of head music
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Franco, I moved out of home, last day of 1972. Twenty & wide eyed. Oh boy! Music was the constant friend.
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: This one even has a Beastie Boys sample in it!
	♥ 4:25pm Franco Twinkie: I was still in high school Brain, but going out a lot to hear music.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Jeff Ash: Gotta fly. Good show! Thanks, Larry. Catch you Sunday morning.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: Later Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Sem: Can't tell you how often, gigging as a DJ at a little dance club, I'd play Mr. Magic, and the crowd would just absorb it, as a group, and chill the hell out.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: I love Grover's early stuff.
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: This and the Johnny Hammond Smith, both arranged by Bob James, produced by Rudy Van Gelder
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Actually "produced" by Creed Taylor, engineered by RVG
	4:39pm djnogoodnick: Hey Larry and drummerstreamers! Saxy grooves for a Thursday afternoon.

	4:45pm djnogoodnick: Love this version of this.. sounds off-kilter!
	4:45pm djnogoodnick: Ah yeah, I'm "at work" still and haven't set it up yet. Doing that now.
