	♥ 3:14pm Matt from New Orleans: My hoofs are getting tired Larry
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - This is the last Horse record
	♥ 3:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I was dancing not complaining
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Plenty more to dance to coming up!
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm WR: 60s / 70s take on answer songs is new territory to me. i usually think of 40s / 50s series like the Dance with Me and Open the Door songs.
	♥ 3:25pm Matt from New Orleans: There going to be a popcorn section this evening
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Not today. I think I did an hour or so of Popcorn records a whole back
	🥁 ♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: while
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Sounds familiar
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: @WR - It probably goes back to the beginning of recorded music
	3:29pm still b/p: Did those horn fills in Sister sound like they were out the door and down the hall, or is it just my audio?
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Sounded OK to me
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: And Hey SBP!
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Vicki Anderson shows up no less than four times in today's show (once under an alias)
	♥ 3:33pm Matt from New Orleans: You said no popcorn records or is this a mother record? James did like to mash them up.
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: I forgot about this one!
	♥ 3:33pm Matt from New Orleans: Love Vicki
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: POWERFUL singer!
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Erica: She's no Aretha but she does (or did) have the chops.
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Listen for a familiar voice in this song
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - She lacked the subtle genius of Aretha, but she was LOUD
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Erica: Agreed Larry. Also the Alliance sounds like the Temptations.
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from New Orleans: Young Daryl Hall from what I remember
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Matt is correct! Hall sang on and arranged the record
	♥ 3:45pm Matt from New Orleans: The pass the pipe imagery reminded me of their other name Electric Indian. I had forgotten about that alias.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: The Alliance 45 was an answer to the Electric Indian's Kee-Mo-Sabe. I'll go into more detail at the break
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm doctorjazz: I'm not really here... April FOOLS!!!
	♥ 3:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Doc
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm doctorjazz: Hey Matt!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Erica: And a very happy April Fool's Day to you too Doc. Sad to say I can't come up with anything right now.
	3:50pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm here... Hi everybody.
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	3:51pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Well, I've got six of the 45s you've played so far :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: I think you'll have a bunch more as we go on
	♥ 4:03pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Vincent. You came on board at the right time.
	4:04pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I got lucky, Matt. Got off from work early...
	♥ 4:06pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool
	♥ 4:13pm Matt from New Orleans: The Meditation 🔥
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: Archie Bell's lawyer is on the phone...
	♥ 4:14pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, hi all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	♥ 4:14pm Little Danny: Classic!
	♥ 4:17pm Little Danny: Oh yeah, I forgot about "corners"-related records.
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm Jeff Ash: I feel like this is the F16C origin story.
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - It is indeed!
	🥁 ♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Lots more coming!
	♥ 4:18pm Little Danny: Where did the "corners" dance emanate?
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure. The records all show up around 1968, so maybe they were filling a need for a dance that already existed in the black community?
	♥ 4:19pm Matt from New Orleans: Enjoy Poppin’ Pop Corn from these guys too
	♥ 4:20pm Little Danny: I'm sure you're right Larry. JerryO was one of its early popularizers.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: Yes, great band. I wish they'd recorded more
	4:20pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I wish this 45 was affordable... :(
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: I should do an all Jerry-O show some day. I think I have enough of his, and related records
	♥ 4:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I think Stones Throw introduced me to them
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent, me too. I don't have an OG, but I do have a reissue autographed by some of the guys in the band
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Here you go, Danny!
	♥ 4:22pm Little Danny: Boom! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: More on Jerry-O here: funky16corners.com...
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Candy-O'67: Jerry O is getting down!
	♥ 4:25pm Little Danny: I knew this Lee Dorsey would get an airing. All-time N.O. fave. The little organ break is mental.
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Little Danny!
	♥ 4:26pm Little Danny: Hi hi hello Candy!
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The drums are insane, too!
	♥ 4:26pm Little Danny: This is getting me hella worked up as always.
	♥ 4:30pm Little Danny: Any idea of who the drummer is Larry? Sounds like James Black but I dunno.
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Candy-O'67: I would have loved to see Lee Dorsey and Jerry O perform both of those songs!
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Could be. Most of his funky sides have the Meters on them, but that does not sound like the Meters at all
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - There's only lipsynch footage of Jerry-O from Detroit TV, but there is some decent live footage of Lee Dorsey (though not doing Four Corners)
	♥ 4:32pm Little Danny: Right. It had a totally frenetic sound.
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: This is an Atlanta side. Originally released on a local label called Tuska. The national release was on Roulette
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Larry!
	4:36pm Little Danny: Whoa. Tommy Wills is new to me and great. Ohio cat?
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Erica: Signed out Danny?
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Tommy Wills was a middle aged white guy who recorded jukebox filler for the Dayton. Ohio Airtown label. Only did a few things a soulful vein
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Candy-O'67: I was wondering if we'd hear some TSU Toronadoes today! Love them!!
	♥ 4:38pm Little Danny: Hi Erica! On my phone and walking along.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Picture of Tommy Wills here: nuvo.newsnirvana.com...
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Erica: Ok Danny
	♥ 4:40pm Little Danny: I have some of Wills’s blues/mambo discs on Air Miami and they’re actually great. But yeah the Airtown sides are pretty snoozy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: I was shocked when I found out who he was.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: He had talent!
	♥ 4:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Larry! I'm late to the radio party, but glad to be here for at least the last 20 minutes.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Wendy!
	4:47pm Vincent The Soul Chef: NEED!!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Which one, the Bobby Patterson?
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Candy-O'67: Yes, to Bobby Patterson! I need! Ha!
	4:48pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh yeah! I got a CD comp, but...
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Candy-O'67: This whole set is right up my alley, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: I got this in my very early days of funk 45 collecting, but even now it's like a 20/25 dollar record
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - Glad you're digging it!
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Nice! Do you know the Bronc-glows’ “Charge,” Larry? I think they borrowed each other’s horns!
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Blazing set btw.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I do Danny, but I never noticed that. I'll have to dig it out. And thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Candy-O'67: All right, some Magic Sam!
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Magic Sam's last 45. He died about a month after this came out.
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Great show today Larry. Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Matt!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Funky16Corners!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Theo!
	4:57pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Grand total of ten 45s, Larry... not too bad ;) Great show as always.
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 5:00pm The Weird Beard: thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 5:01pm Erica: Great show as always Larry. By the way, your records are dirty... April Fools!

	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Could be. Most of his funky sides have the Meters on them, but that does not sound like the Meters at all
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - There's only lipsynch footage of Jerry-O from Detroit TV, but there is some decent live footage of Lee Dorsey (though not doing Four Corners)
	♥ 4:32pm Little Danny: Right. It had a totally frenetic sound.
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: This is an Atlanta side. Originally released on a local label called Tuska. The national release was on Roulette
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Larry!
	4:36pm Little Danny: Whoa. Tommy Wills is new to me and great. Ohio cat?
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Erica: Signed out Danny?
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Tommy Wills was a middle aged white guy who recorded jukebox filler for the Dayton. Ohio Airtown label. Only did a few things a soulful vein
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Candy-O'67: I was wondering if we'd hear some TSU Toronadoes today! Love them!!
	♥ 4:38pm Little Danny: Hi Erica! On my phone and walking along.
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Picture of Tommy Wills here: nuvo.newsnirvana.com...
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Erica: Ok Danny
	♥ 4:40pm Little Danny: I have some of Wills’s blues/mambo discs on Air Miami and they’re actually great. But yeah the Airtown sides are pretty snoozy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: I was shocked when I found out who he was.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: He had talent!
	♥ 4:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Larry! I'm late to the radio party, but glad to be here for at least the last 20 minutes.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Wendy!
	4:47pm Vincent The Soul Chef: NEED!!!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Which one, the Bobby Patterson?
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Candy-O'67: Yes, to Bobby Patterson! I need! Ha!
	4:48pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh yeah! I got a CD comp, but...
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Candy-O'67: This whole set is right up my alley, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: I got this in my very early days of funk 45 collecting, but even now it's like a 20/25 dollar record
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - Glad you're digging it!
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Nice! Do you know the Bronc-glows’ “Charge,” Larry? I think they borrowed each other’s horns!
	♥ 4:49pm Little Danny: Blazing set btw.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I do Danny, but I never noticed that. I'll have to dig it out. And thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Candy-O'67: All right, some Magic Sam!
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Magic Sam's last 45. He died about a month after this came out.
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Great show today Larry. Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Matt!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Funky16Corners!
