	3:05pm bradford: Greetings Larry & all!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm doctorjazz: Hello Yvang, Sem, Ait, and all you other Legal Beagles!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:05 Hey bradford!
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Yvang: Trying to guess today's show concept.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Erica: Looks like we're wading in the water for the first set.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:05 Beyond this opening set, no concept other than good sounds for your ears
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 I like that!
	♥ 3:08pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Are you back home?
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm doctorjazz: Not at all related to the current goings on, but just opened and listened to a recent reissue by Craft Records (who have been doing great reissues lately) of the early Savoy Bebop sessions called The Birth of Bop. I have most (if not all) of this elsewhere in reissues, but the, ahem, craft of this box is great; terrific sound, interesting booklet with general overview and track by track analysis. Would highly recommend!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:09 That sounds good!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:08 yep, thanks for asling Andrew, extremely jet lagged, but otherwise had a fine (if long) return and a great vacation.
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm doctorjazz: I'm ready to Wade in the Water (my rabbi might disapprove, though)!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Erica: 🌊⛲
	♥ 3:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:10 That`s fantastic!
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:11 I thought the subtext of the song was the Israelites escaping from Egypt. How could a rabbi dislike that?
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm doctorjazz: Your right, the versus do relate to the crossing of the Red Sea-I've always interpreted the chorus as then telling us to baptize (after all, the Israelites didn't "wade" into any water, the sea was separated and they walked on dry land). But I could be over thinking this...
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:18 I think there's also Underground Railroad connections
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: I've always thought that the line "God's gonna trouble the water" was about the parting of the Red Sea
	♥ 3:20pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry and all
	♥ 3:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:20 Hi coel!
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:20 Hey C!
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm JB: Hiya there Larry and group. Big Mama Thornton and I are birthday buddies! I bet no one else can say that truthfully :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @3:22 Hi JB!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Absolutely, but then there's no reason to "wade", since it's dry land according to the story (except for alliteration, which. could be the whole reason for it, actually)
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:24 This deserves further exploration!
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: 2/3 of Cream playing on this 45!
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm WR: Hi folks, hi Larry. Glad I'm connected in time to hear your opening mic break.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm JB: Oh Larry, RIP your parents, didn't know. Tell your bro this old HS/grammar school acquaintance sends his condolences.
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Erica: ↳ JB @3:32 Hi JB. Both his parents died a month apart. So sad indeed.
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Erica: 2023 has been a horrible year. Larry lost his parents and stores in my area keep going out of business.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: So sorry it's been such a difficult year (so far), Larry! Hoping the 2nd half is better!
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @3:32 Will do, JB.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:32 HI WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Erica: Speaking of Astrud Gilberto, she spent the rest of her years in Philadelphia up until her death.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:35 Me, too Doc
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:36 I did not know that!
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 Found out on local news. Don't remember where in Philly where she lived but I know she moved there one day and spent the remainder of her life there.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Astrud Gilberto" Cool Cover (though I'm not crazy of the bass sound in the mix; not the playing, though)
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Erica: I'll need to find the news clip and share it either here or Facebook.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:39 Produced by Brooks Arthur, which is odd for a NY/Verve session with an artist on the jazzy side of things
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Ron Dante from the Archies sings backup!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm WR: ↳ Song: "Holiday" by "Astrud Gilberto" Somehow my brain did not grasp that you played the Bee Gees song off this album. Glad the archive gives me another chance to listen.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:50 This is a really good album, and I get the feeling it didn't sell very well. I've never seen a copy out in the wild. I only found out about it because a friend recommended it,
	♥ 3:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:21 Greetings Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:40 Seems this album was effort to get Gilberto over to a rock pop audience. I don't know Brooks Arthur, but see he also worked with Janis Ian among many others. And yes, I never saw the album in a store in the early 70s or since.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: BTW, the spelling of this artist's name is correct: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:24 Found an interesting article on the meaning/roots of the song Wade in the Water. The wading part does indeed refer to the Underground Railroad for escaping slaves-the wading in shallow streams was to avoid leaving a scent trail for dogs to find and recapture the escaping slaves. Fascinating! writingonmusic.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Maybe the spelled it dRake to distance him from his work with Paul Revere & the Raiders and Where The Action Is.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:58 That's possible. It's the only solo record he ever made
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 Thanks, Doc! Bookmarked
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Jeff Ash: Greetings to all from Wisconsin! Late to the party but here for the 2nd hour of the show.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:01 Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm doctorjazz: (Usually working when the show is on, have it on at the office but can't be quite as involved as I'd like. Took the day off to recover from jet lag, glad I did, fun posting here!)
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Recovering from vacation is always an odd experience
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Having a day to recover from a trip is good.
	♥ 4:10pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 just a day, you beast! (I took a few days the last time jet lag was a factor).
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:10 Nah, I'm an alte kocker ("old fart")-I didn't mean to imply I ONLY took 1 day-will go back to the office on Monday.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Erica: Couldn't find the news video on Astrud Gilberto but I did find this article: www.inquirer.com...
	♥ 4:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 yo! had to take a nap. only got four hours of sleep before my morning trot across town for an interview. pros: they have a Mon-Thurs work schedule. cons: it's 6am-5pm (there's a 6am?)
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:11 Paywalled
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:13 I know. There are other articles online but I had to pick one.
	♥ 4:15pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 yep, you're definitely back, you're speaking new yorkese (anglicized) yiddish...
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 Happy Hour starts at 6AM in my world
	🥁 ♥ 4:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Yes" by "Buckwheat" I see this was a different Buckwheat from the group that became the Beefheart Magic Band for a blip.
	♥ 4:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Poor Moon" by "Canned Heat" canned heat!
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 They're basically getting in the 40 hour/5 day week into 4 days (again, pros/cons). Starting at 6 IS a killer, though...have had to do it in the past at times.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:16 These guys came from Texas, recorded in NYC
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm JB: Oooh Canned Heat!!
	♥ 4:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Places Everyone" by "Fargo" as an aside, i finally saw the series, fargo , in the last month...
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:17 Al Wilson would have been 80 this month
	♥ 4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:17 i've voluntarily have done 9-8 before..
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:17 GREAT show
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm WR: ↳ Song: "Time Was" by "Canned Heat" Time Was when I listened to Canned Heat every day. Long long time ago.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 I did the 40 hours in 4 days thing around 25 years ago. It was an offering for summer hours. It was great having 3 day weekends through the summer.
	♥ 4:22pm northguineahills: Stereolab's "Transona Five" was my gateway to Canned Heat. Sloan has a live album where they start playing "on the road again" and transitions to "Transona Five" halfway through. they both share the same baseline...
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 I stopped after the first few episodes of the 4th season with Chris Rock. Something was off for me and I lost interest. I have to give it another try because I loved the 1st 3 seasons.
	♥ 4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ JB @4:22 Season 3 is the best, imho. four picks up, but I liked it for the historical backdrop (and the transition of the mafia)..
	♥ 4:25pm northguineahills: ↳ JB @4:22 23 years ago, during the summer, for two weeks I did 3 12 hour days and one half days to have 3.5 day weekends...
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:22 I liked Season 4 a lot. I thought Jason Schwartzman was amazing.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:25 When I was in my 20s I used to pick up every spare double/triple time slot available, Sundays, holidays etc. Good thing I did because as soon as Gannett bought our paper that was cut off very quickly
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Mxter Baba: greeeeeetings, Larry and folx! Missed the Astrud, but this set is sounding great already!
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:33 Hey Baba!
	♥ 4:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 yeah, he simultaneously made me forget it was jason schwartzman until you saw his unmistakable mug...(in which you couldn't forget)
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 I'm convinced. I'm gonna give it another try.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:38 I thought he was hilarious, especially juxtaposed with that insane brother
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Sem: Lovin' today's playlist, thank you, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:25 Creative!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm doctorjazz: Seems like I should check out Fargo (so much TV, so little time...)
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Erica: It's Joni Mitchell again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:42 Thanks, Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Help Me/Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" Love this Joni!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:44 It's ALWAYS Joni Mitchell around here.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Great song by her.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 yeahhhhhh!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm JB: Hey Larry, do you ever get to do any fill-ins on the mother ship?
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm JB: ↳ Sem @4:42 Second! Another goodie
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:46 I have done them, and want to do more, but my life has been so unstable the last few months it's hard to commit
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Erica: I found a CD reissue of Court and Spark in my hometown Rite Aid just before it went out of business this year.
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:33 Hi Baba!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:47 Good score!
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Would be great to hear you on the radio, but I gotta be more consistent listening here more regularly.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Help Me/Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" I noticed these two songs are paired together.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 And I hope things stabilize a little bit.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:48 Me too...(phew...)
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 hi, Andrew!
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @4:47 awesome. I love it when you find jewels in the most unlikely places...
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Help Me/Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" Great jazx-rock band on this album: Drums and percussion - John Guerin Bass - Max Bennett (on Trouble Child), Jim Hughart (on People's Parties and Free Man In Paris), Wilton Felder Chimes (on Court and Spark) - Milt Holland Woodwinds & reeds - Tom Scott Trumpet (on Twisted and Trouble Child) - Chuck Findley Piano - Joni Mitchell Electric Piano - Joe Sample Clavinet (on Down To You) - Joni Mitchell Background voices - Joni Mitchell, David Crosby and Graham Nash (on Free Man In Paris), Susan Webb and David Crosby (on Down To You), Cheech and Chong (on Twisted) Electric Guitar - Wayne Perkins (on Car On A Hill), Dennis Budimir (on Trouble Child); Robbie Robertson (on Raised on Robbery), Jose Feliciano and Larry Carlton (on Free Man in Paris), Larry Carlton on all others

	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:20 Hey C!
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm JB: Hiya there Larry and group. Big Mama Thornton and I are birthday buddies! I bet no one else can say that truthfully :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @3:22 Hi JB!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Absolutely, but then there's no reason to "wade", since it's dry land according to the story (except for alliteration, which. could be the whole reason for it, actually)
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:24 This deserves further exploration!
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: 2/3 of Cream playing on this 45!
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm WR: Hi folks, hi Larry. Glad I'm connected in time to hear your opening mic break.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm JB: Oh Larry, RIP your parents, didn't know. Tell your bro this old HS/grammar school acquaintance sends his condolences.
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Erica: ↳ JB @3:32 Hi JB. Both his parents died a month apart. So sad indeed.
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Erica: 2023 has been a horrible year. Larry lost his parents and stores in my area keep going out of business.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: So sorry it's been such a difficult year (so far), Larry! Hoping the 2nd half is better!
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @3:32 Will do, JB.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:32 HI WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Erica: Speaking of Astrud Gilberto, she spent the rest of her years in Philadelphia up until her death.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:35 Me, too Doc
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:36 I did not know that!
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 Found out on local news. Don't remember where in Philly where she lived but I know she moved there one day and spent the remainder of her life there.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Astrud Gilberto" Cool Cover (though I'm not crazy of the bass sound in the mix; not the playing, though)
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Erica: I'll need to find the news clip and share it either here or Facebook.
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:39 Produced by Brooks Arthur, which is odd for a NY/Verve session with an artist on the jazzy side of things
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Ron Dante from the Archies sings backup!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm WR: ↳ Song: "Holiday" by "Astrud Gilberto" Somehow my brain did not grasp that you played the Bee Gees song off this album. Glad the archive gives me another chance to listen.
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:50 This is a really good album, and I get the feeling it didn't sell very well. I've never seen a copy out in the wild. I only found out about it because a friend recommended it,
	♥ 3:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:21 Greetings Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:40 Seems this album was effort to get Gilberto over to a rock pop audience. I don't know Brooks Arthur, but see he also worked with Janis Ian among many others. And yes, I never saw the album in a store in the early 70s or since.
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: BTW, the spelling of this artist's name is correct: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:24 Found an interesting article on the meaning/roots of the song Wade in the Water. The wading part does indeed refer to the Underground Railroad for escaping slaves-the wading in shallow streams was to avoid leaving a scent trail for dogs to find and recapture the escaping slaves. Fascinating! writingonmusic.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:58pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Maybe the spelled it dRake to distance him from his work with Paul Revere & the Raiders and Where The Action Is.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:58 That's possible. It's the only solo record he ever made
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 Thanks, Doc! Bookmarked
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Jeff Ash: Greetings to all from Wisconsin! Late to the party but here for the 2nd hour of the show.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:01 Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm doctorjazz: (Usually working when the show is on, have it on at the office but can't be quite as involved as I'd like. Took the day off to recover from jet lag, glad I did, fun posting here!)
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Recovering from vacation is always an odd experience
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 Having a day to recover from a trip is good.
	♥ 4:10pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 just a day, you beast! (I took a few days the last time jet lag was a factor).
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:10 Nah, I'm an alte kocker ("old fart")-I didn't mean to imply I ONLY took 1 day-will go back to the office on Monday.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Erica: Couldn't find the news video on Astrud Gilberto but I did find this article: www.inquirer.com...
	♥ 4:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 yo! had to take a nap. only got four hours of sleep before my morning trot across town for an interview. pros: they have a Mon-Thurs work schedule. cons: it's 6am-5pm (there's a 6am?)
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:11 Paywalled
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:13 I know. There are other articles online but I had to pick one.
	♥ 4:15pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 yep, you're definitely back, you're speaking new yorkese (anglicized) yiddish...
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 Happy Hour starts at 6AM in my world
	🥁 ♥ 4:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Yes" by "Buckwheat" I see this was a different Buckwheat from the group that became the Beefheart Magic Band for a blip.
	♥ 4:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Poor Moon" by "Canned Heat" canned heat!
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 They're basically getting in the 40 hour/5 day week into 4 days (again, pros/cons). Starting at 6 IS a killer, though...have had to do it in the past at times.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:16 These guys came from Texas, recorded in NYC
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm JB: Oooh Canned Heat!!
	♥ 4:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Places Everyone" by "Fargo" as an aside, i finally saw the series, fargo , in the last month...
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:17 Al Wilson would have been 80 this month
	♥ 4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:17 i've voluntarily have done 9-8 before..
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:17 GREAT show
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm WR: ↳ Song: "Time Was" by "Canned Heat" Time Was when I listened to Canned Heat every day. Long long time ago.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:12 I did the 40 hours in 4 days thing around 25 years ago. It was an offering for summer hours. It was great having 3 day weekends through the summer.
	♥ 4:22pm northguineahills: Stereolab's "Transona Five" was my gateway to Canned Heat. Sloan has a live album where they start playing "on the road again" and transitions to "Transona Five" halfway through. they both share the same baseline...
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 I stopped after the first few episodes of the 4th season with Chris Rock. Something was off for me and I lost interest. I have to give it another try because I loved the 1st 3 seasons.
	♥ 4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ JB @4:22 Season 3 is the best, imho. four picks up, but I liked it for the historical backdrop (and the transition of the mafia)..
	♥ 4:25pm northguineahills: ↳ JB @4:22 23 years ago, during the summer, for two weeks I did 3 12 hour days and one half days to have 3.5 day weekends...
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:22 I liked Season 4 a lot. I thought Jason Schwartzman was amazing.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:25 When I was in my 20s I used to pick up every spare double/triple time slot available, Sundays, holidays etc. Good thing I did because as soon as Gannett bought our paper that was cut off very quickly
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Mxter Baba: greeeeeetings, Larry and folx! Missed the Astrud, but this set is sounding great already!
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:33 Hey Baba!
	♥ 4:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 yeah, he simultaneously made me forget it was jason schwartzman until you saw his unmistakable mug...(in which you couldn't forget)
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 I'm convinced. I'm gonna give it another try.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:38 I thought he was hilarious, especially juxtaposed with that insane brother
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Sem: Lovin' today's playlist, thank you, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm JB: ↳ northguineahills @4:25 Creative!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm doctorjazz: Seems like I should check out Fargo (so much TV, so little time...)
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Erica: It's Joni Mitchell again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:42 Thanks, Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Help Me/Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" Love this Joni!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:44 It's ALWAYS Joni Mitchell around here.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Great song by her.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 yeahhhhhh!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm JB: Hey Larry, do you ever get to do any fill-ins on the mother ship?
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm JB: ↳ Sem @4:42 Second! Another goodie
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:46 I have done them, and want to do more, but my life has been so unstable the last few months it's hard to commit
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Erica: I found a CD reissue of Court and Spark in my hometown Rite Aid just before it went out of business this year.
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:33 Hi Baba!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:47 Good score!
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Would be great to hear you on the radio, but I gotta be more consistent listening here more regularly.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Help Me/Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" I noticed these two songs are paired together.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 And I hope things stabilize a little bit.
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:48 Me too...(phew...)
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 hi, Andrew!
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @4:47 awesome. I love it when you find jewels in the most unlikely places...
