	3:05pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:01 Hi Larry. I thought it was my phone acting up. How was your Thanksgiving?
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 Hi Erica! It was very nice. Pretty quiet. How about you?
	3:07pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry, Streamers!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hey Doc!
	3:07pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 I was. Fortunate to have other family members visit me.
	3:07pm doctorjazz: Waiting for the Dead's Ship of Fools...
	3:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hi again, doc!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 It's coming!
	3:08pm Erica: I now have to worry about Christmas.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:08 I haven't even started on Christmas yet.
	🥁 3:09pm PAULS: afternoon, Larry and gathered druminati. Otis Rush? Aretha?
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:09 Hi Pauls! No Otis, but Aretha is forthcoming.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Dumb Head" by "Sharades" This delightfully odd record is a Joe Meek joint.
	🥁 3:11pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:10 sure sounds like it!
	3:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @3:09 greets, PAUlS!
	3:12pm Michael 98145: I may be a fool, but i'm looking forward to Spring
	🥁 3:13pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Guess I'm Dumb" by "Glen Campbell" Hey, Andrew! Caught Jimmy Webb live here in Austin last night, of course he got a lil snuffly about his best life friend Glen
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:13 Oh wow, I'll bet that was great!
	🥁 3:14pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 It was -- he's in good form at 78, mixed in stories. And of course finished with MacArthur Park in all it's Beetlejuice glory
	3:15pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:09 I'm more worried about my cat pooping under the bed on Christmas.
	🥁 3:16pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "The Fool For You" by "Sneetches" Larry, loved your Sneetches show from a couple years ago!
	3:16pm still b/p: The tsunami warning's been cancelled after the quake off CA coast. Keep seeing moments of Glen in the '69 True Grit being repeated and repeated on a Roku channel. Not destined to be an action or western hero, but he did OK in a mixed bag of a movie. Not likely to pair those two topics in a comment ever again.
	🥁 3:16pm PAULS: ↳ Erica @3:15 Anyone on the board shaking it up in Northern California? 7.0 off the coast near Eureka!
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:16 hey SBP!
	3:18pm Erica: Doobie bounce!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:18 Did you watch the Yacht Rock documentary?
	🥁 3:18pm PAULS: "Jimmy Messina! How's she blowin'?"
	3:19pm Erica: Sorry I've been hanging out at the Yacht Rock Discord a lot lately.
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:19 That's cool
	3:19pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 Yes on Friday.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:19 I liked it a lot. Michael McDonald comes off as a very cool guy.
	3:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @3:13 I`m jealous. I saw him twice and couldn`t bring myself to speak with him. His "Up, Up, and Away" book is a treat.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:20 It's amazing when you think of how he dominated the charts in the late 60s as a songwriter. Nothing like that today.
	3:22pm Erica: I don't have Max. Had to watch it from the Discord from someone else's stream.
	🥁 3:22pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Yup truly a lost art, unique talent. Crazy that he had two songs nominated for grammys when he was... 19! and won!
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 There probably never will be.
	3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:07 Hi again Andrew! Fancy meeting you here!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:23 The only parallel I can think of from that time is Laura Nyro
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:24 Highly unlikely!
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 That works!
	3:29pm StringOFperils: Hats off to your timely rant, Larry. Don't want the boiler room to explode. Plenty of hot air in the penthouse anyway.
	3:29pm northguineahills: been here since the beginning, good to hear ya, larry!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: I hope that we don't lose power or connectivity this afternoon. We're getting 50MPH winds outside.
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:29 Hey NGH!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:29 This problem has been building for years. I just worry that we lost our chance to stop it.
	3:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ PAULS @3:13 Reminds me of when I saw David Grisman a few years ago-he spent a good chunk of the show talking about Jerry Garcia, he was a ghost presence...
	3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" Ahhh, one of daughter MollyJazz's favorite bands!
	3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" (and had a Broadway show!)
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 I',m not a huge fan (they always sounded like the Dickies without the humor) but I like this song a lot
	3:32pm Erica: Green Day on Testify!
	3:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" I'm not sure I've ever knowing heard this song all the way through. /i have green day's first three records, back when they were actually 'punky' pop on Kerplunk! Recs
	3:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:29 No one really expects that their house will burn down. It just happens to other people. I think I keep telling myself the same thing about it spreading like a...wildfire. This will be difficult to put out, I'm afraid.
	3:33pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Have you heard the Weird Al parody Canadian Idiot? It's much funnier.
	3:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Billy Joe is a big Kinks fan!
	3:33pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 does she have their early 90s rekkids?
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:33 I'll have to look that up
	🥁 3:34pm David Shortell: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 It played at the Bound Brook Arts Center last month.
	🥁 3:35pm PAULS: ↳ doctorjazz @3:30 Jimmy gave it a good balance as did Denny Laine when I saw him a few years back. Reminded me that I need to get out to more shows!
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:35 In 5-10 years a lot of those folks will be gone.
	🥁 3:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Stupid Girl" by "Ellen Foley" I actually heard this version before the Stones'.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:36 Me too. It was a minor FM hit in New York
	3:38pm StringOFperils: Feel like Ellen got passed over a bit, once she got labelled as 'Mick Jones' girlfriend'
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:38 Yeah, really interesting performer, actress too, she was on Night Court for a while
	🥁 3:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 She was in Ocean Grove last April. jerseyshoreartscenter.org...
	3:40pm Erica: Speaking of Weird Al..
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:40 I didn't realize that there was a theater in that old school building in OG
	🥁 3:42pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Ship of Fools" by "World Party" Saw them at the Ritz for this tour, great show.
	🥁 3:43pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 yes -- so important to catch any of their shows now!
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:42 I never got to see them live. Private Revolution is such a great album
	🥁 3:45pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Stupid Man" by "Lou Reed" I didn't recognize Lou's voice. He sounds less tone-deaf than usual.
	3:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @3:33 Not sure, she has some CD's, but these days listening involves a Spotify Playlist.
	3:47pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 most people don't know their material until Dookie which came out in 94 and propelled them to the mainstream.
	3:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dare To Be Stupid" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I was downstairs making tea, and yelled, "weird al!" digging today's theme!
	3:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @3:45 Tried out other notes occasionally. Liked the Sprechstimme. "Actual singing is for schmucks."__Lou Reed ... I made that up
	3:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @3:40 ha!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:48 Excellent!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:48 yet it rings true
	🥁 3:49pm listener 126464: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Fantastic, agree.
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" Man, that Joe South guitar...
	3:50pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" groovy
	🥁 3:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Trust you had a good scoff last week.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:53 Hi Brian!
	🥁 3:55pm WLSClark: OOH, looking for "Fool's paradise" and see it! WILL I hear it?
	3:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" Love this (have been going through a 4 CD Aretha Retrospective recently, so good)!
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:55 Hey Clark!
	3:55pm northguineahills: having a blast tailoring resumes and cover letters for various jobs (not much in southern vt, so looking mostly for remote positions)
	3:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ WLSClark @3:55 I've got dibs on Idiot Wind
	3:56pm Sloban: ↳ Song: "Foolish Fool" by "Dee Dee Warwick" Fantastic
	🥁 3:56pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Andrew and the many in radio land who are NOT fools for listening to this show!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sloban @3:56 Hi Sloban! This album is great.
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: Dig this!
	3:58pm Michael 98145: Obviously no shortage of tunes around this theme! Nice.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 No shortage AT ALL!
	🥁 4:00pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Everybody Plays the Fool" by "Main Ingredient" Foolish but a hit twice--Ronnie Dyson, right?
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:00 Aaron Neville
	4:01pm wenzo: Waiting for “I’m a fool for you” by James Carr…
	4:02pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Everybody Plays the Fool" by "Main Ingredient" Checking the info on this just to see how high it charted and, despite the deep in the ears and veins familiarity and favor, to be reminded of its exact year of success, and learned this also: "The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 1973 ceremony, losing to 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone.'"
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @4:01 Hey wenzo!
	4:02pm Erica: Going to jail ain't worth pleasing someone.
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:02 They can't complain that the Temps didn't deserve it
	4:04pm StringOFperils: Here's a little-known Toronto gem (about a f***ing idiot) from the late 80s that is...on-brand, re. Larry's earlier invective. Y'all can have it for dessert > www.youtube.com...
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 I'll check that out after the show. I'm not familiar with him.
	🥁 4:06pm Artie: ↳ Song: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by "Labelle" Oh, I like this one!!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Artie @4:06 Hey Artie! Isn't this a great version?
	🥁 4:06pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by "Labelle" That bass is awesome!
	4:07pm Erica: YEEAAHH!
	4:07pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Bit of a local eccentric...used to play out on the street in Kensington Market
	🥁 4:07pm Artie: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 It sure is, right down to the burbling bass line!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: Brace yourselves...
	🥁 4:10pm David Shortell: ↳ StringOFperils @3:56 I've got dibs on "How Sweet to Be an Idiot" by Neil Innes.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Super Stupid" by "Funkadelic" Tiki Fullwood's drums on this tracks are so fucking heavy
	4:11pm Michael 98145: Super
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 You just wrote those two magic words.
	4:12pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Super Stupid" by "Funkadelic" A lot of LSD went into making this album. This band's running on all 13 1/2 cylinders
	4:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 (No shortage of fools out ther...)
	4:12pm David The Splatter: I get to leave work a little early today, so I'm going mobile. Thanks in advance for the foolish show, Larry!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:12 (nope)
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Aftermath was full on sexist.
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @4:12 owsley what you did there...
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:15 Yeah right? Under My Thumb, too
	4:19pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 Keepin' tabs on me?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @4:12 Take it easy, David!
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @4:19 i just need a cool ice drink....
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ship Of Fools" by "Grateful Dead" :- )
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ship Of Fools" by "Grateful Dead" Thought I'd miss this (in and out of radio range at work), glad I didn't.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Had to play it!
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" CLASSIC!
	4:24pm Erica: More yacht rock from Steely Dan.
	🥁 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 Interesting album with eleven minute Goin' Home. Later copied by Love's Revelation on Da Capo. Then Jagger copies She Comes in Colours.
	4:25pm StringOFperils: I love this Dan song. Denny Dias in the band. Great composition. So good.
	🥁 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" The clarity after fifty years still stands the test of time.
	4:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" Another classic (I don't think of Steely Dan as Yacht Rock, that implies a lack of adventurousness, a smoothness, I don't think that's Dan at all!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:25 Where did they bury David Palmer?
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 I originally thought of them as jazz rock myself. But the Yacht Rock web series featured a parody of them.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: 'Yacht rock' s just one of those terms that tosses off the past, coined by hubris in a fleeting present by people who themselves are already being similarly labelled by some new upstarts
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:28 They're influential on the sound (much more so than Toto, many members of which play on SD albums), but they're a LOT deeper as songwriters than many of the artists under that banner
	4:30pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Idiot Wind" by "Bob Dylan" powerful
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 I did a show a few years back where I tried to recast the sound as white 70s rock influenced by Black R&B and jazz.
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: 'Chestnut Mare'. Is that a McGuinn reference?
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael C St Lou @4:30 Blood On the Tracks, so heavy
	4:31pm wenzo: Is this Hot Air Balloon Rock?
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 In that it's an actual "sound" but the post hoc coinage is a littl too tongue in cheek for its own good
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 He meant it.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @4:31 The Sounds of the Minnesota Whine Cellar
	4:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:31 Yeah. It is cast in the pejorative, and seems to want to enlist others in not liking something. It's the tendentious thing that smells like dubious listener to me.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:34 All those drunken nitwits in captain's hats whooping it up at Yachtley Crew shows, because they're not cool enough to make it with the Parrotheads
	4:36pm StringOFperils: I'm with Neil. On the beach.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Stupidity Tries" by "Elliott Smith" Jeez, Elliott Smith has been gone for 21 years now
	🥁 4:37pm Brian in UK: Never knew of Yacht Rock's existence until listening to this station.
	4:38pm Erica: ↳ Brian in UK @4:37 Haha
	4:38pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Good afternoon everyone! Love the Elliott Smith track!
	4:39pm northguineahills: there's a new yacht rock doc on max right now...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:38 Hey Kip!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:39 It's actually pretty good
	4:39pm StringOFperils: Just wait 'til they all start talking about PhoneStep
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" This is the original version, by Van Dyke Parks brother Carson and his wife
	4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @4:37 i remember using that term back in 2005 (as a friend made a 'yacht rock' playlist for a bbq party)
	4:40pm Discotech Underground: Two suggestions if you do this as a theme show again... Robin Trower "The Fool And Me" Bob Seger "Ship Of Fools" This is an interesting theme!
	🥁 4:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" Sounds like Nino and April!
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" Father & daughter singing this hit always sounded dodgy.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 Oh yeah.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 Of course you could dial up Nansy singing it with her brother on the Smothers Brothers Show
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 Both were on the list. I may very well return to this theme
	4:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 Wow! Now there's some arcane pop factoidage I would never have known
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:43 That's why I'm here!
	4:45pm StringOFperils: I wish I knew why I was here. Not here, here...but you know...here.
	🥁 4:46pm Brian in UK: Remember when Rita & Kris were joined at the hip.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 I ponder that about myself every day...
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 'Thinking is the most dangerous process known to man' Winston Churchill.
	4:47pm northguineahills: ok, my housemate got me a +1 to go to see ladybug transistor in nh, see y'alls laters! thanks larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:47 Bye NGH!
	4:47pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:42 More than enough for another show, I would bet. The Rolling Stones "Fool To Cry" also comes to mind.
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "I'm A Fool I Must Love You" by "The Falcons" I believe the lead vocal on this 45 is Joe Stubbs, Levi's brother
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:47 Another good one!
	4:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @4:47 Have you seen what that guy usually had for breakfast?! It's a wonder any blood made it to that guy's brain at all!
	4:48pm Discotech Underground: Sit tight and keep it tuned to the Drummer stream as "Discotech Underground" is coming up NEXT! wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:48pm Brian in UK: Larry, interesting show, nicely done.
	🥁 4:49pm listener 126464: Been on the horn for most of the show. Thanks for another great one, Larry. Cheers, all.
	4:49pm doctorjazz: Fun show, thanks Larry!
	4:49pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Whitesnake "Fool For Your Lovin" also!
	🥁 4:49pm WLSClark: Fun show, Larry. Kip, gotta head out so missing again, sorry. Remember that fools need love too!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:48 Thanks Brian!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @4:49 Thanks listener 126464!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:49 Thanks Doc!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:49 Thanks Clark!
	🥁 4:51pm PAULS: great show thank you larry! next week same time. On to KIP!
	4:51pm Discotech Underground: ↳ WLSClark @4:49 Hey Clark!
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:51 Thanks Pauls!
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "There are No Fools in Heaven (Anyman's Inferno)" ... This is not gentle on his mind.
	4:53pm StringOFperils: Pretty gothic.
	🥁 4:54pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:54pm Erica: Great show Larry!
	4:55pm StringOFperils: I like this theme. Think I'll go out amidst the fooles. Buy some foolish coffee beans. Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Andrew in Toronto: What another excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	4:56pm Michael C St Lou: Thank you Larry! Mightily enjoyable! 🥰❤

	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael C St Lou @3:04 Hi Michael!
	3:05pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:01 Hi Larry. I thought it was my phone acting up. How was your Thanksgiving?
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 Hi Erica! It was very nice. Pretty quiet. How about you?
	3:07pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry, Streamers!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hey Doc!
	3:07pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 I was. Fortunate to have other family members visit me.
	3:07pm doctorjazz: Waiting for the Dead's Ship of Fools...
	3:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 Hi again, doc!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 It's coming!
	3:08pm Erica: I now have to worry about Christmas.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:08 I haven't even started on Christmas yet.
	🥁 3:09pm PAULS: afternoon, Larry and gathered druminati. Otis Rush? Aretha?
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:09 Hi Pauls! No Otis, but Aretha is forthcoming.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Dumb Head" by "Sharades" This delightfully odd record is a Joe Meek joint.
	🥁 3:11pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:10 sure sounds like it!
	3:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @3:09 greets, PAUlS!
	3:12pm Michael 98145: I may be a fool, but i'm looking forward to Spring
	🥁 3:13pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Guess I'm Dumb" by "Glen Campbell" Hey, Andrew! Caught Jimmy Webb live here in Austin last night, of course he got a lil snuffly about his best life friend Glen
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:13 Oh wow, I'll bet that was great!
	🥁 3:14pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 It was -- he's in good form at 78, mixed in stories. And of course finished with MacArthur Park in all it's Beetlejuice glory
	3:15pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:09 I'm more worried about my cat pooping under the bed on Christmas.
	🥁 3:16pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "The Fool For You" by "Sneetches" Larry, loved your Sneetches show from a couple years ago!
	3:16pm still b/p: The tsunami warning's been cancelled after the quake off CA coast. Keep seeing moments of Glen in the '69 True Grit being repeated and repeated on a Roku channel. Not destined to be an action or western hero, but he did OK in a mixed bag of a movie. Not likely to pair those two topics in a comment ever again.
	🥁 3:16pm PAULS: ↳ Erica @3:15 Anyone on the board shaking it up in Northern California? 7.0 off the coast near Eureka!
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:16 hey SBP!
	3:18pm Erica: Doobie bounce!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:18 Did you watch the Yacht Rock documentary?
	🥁 3:18pm PAULS: "Jimmy Messina! How's she blowin'?"
	3:19pm Erica: Sorry I've been hanging out at the Yacht Rock Discord a lot lately.
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:19 That's cool
	3:19pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 Yes on Friday.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:19 I liked it a lot. Michael McDonald comes off as a very cool guy.
	3:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @3:13 I`m jealous. I saw him twice and couldn`t bring myself to speak with him. His "Up, Up, and Away" book is a treat.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:20 It's amazing when you think of how he dominated the charts in the late 60s as a songwriter. Nothing like that today.
	3:22pm Erica: I don't have Max. Had to watch it from the Discord from someone else's stream.
	🥁 3:22pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Yup truly a lost art, unique talent. Crazy that he had two songs nominated for grammys when he was... 19! and won!
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 There probably never will be.
	3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:07 Hi again Andrew! Fancy meeting you here!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:23 The only parallel I can think of from that time is Laura Nyro
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:24 Highly unlikely!
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 That works!
	3:29pm StringOFperils: Hats off to your timely rant, Larry. Don't want the boiler room to explode. Plenty of hot air in the penthouse anyway.
	3:29pm northguineahills: been here since the beginning, good to hear ya, larry!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: I hope that we don't lose power or connectivity this afternoon. We're getting 50MPH winds outside.
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:29 Hey NGH!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:29 This problem has been building for years. I just worry that we lost our chance to stop it.
	3:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ PAULS @3:13 Reminds me of when I saw David Grisman a few years ago-he spent a good chunk of the show talking about Jerry Garcia, he was a ghost presence...
	3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" Ahhh, one of daughter MollyJazz's favorite bands!
	3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" (and had a Broadway show!)
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 I',m not a huge fan (they always sounded like the Dickies without the humor) but I like this song a lot
	3:32pm Erica: Green Day on Testify!
	3:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "American Idiot" by "Green Day" I'm not sure I've ever knowing heard this song all the way through. /i have green day's first three records, back when they were actually 'punky' pop on Kerplunk! Recs
	3:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:29 No one really expects that their house will burn down. It just happens to other people. I think I keep telling myself the same thing about it spreading like a...wildfire. This will be difficult to put out, I'm afraid.
	3:33pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Have you heard the Weird Al parody Canadian Idiot? It's much funnier.
	3:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Billy Joe is a big Kinks fan!
	3:33pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 does she have their early 90s rekkids?
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:33 I'll have to look that up
	🥁 3:34pm David Shortell: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 It played at the Bound Brook Arts Center last month.
	🥁 3:35pm PAULS: ↳ doctorjazz @3:30 Jimmy gave it a good balance as did Denny Laine when I saw him a few years back. Reminded me that I need to get out to more shows!
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @3:35 In 5-10 years a lot of those folks will be gone.
	🥁 3:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Stupid Girl" by "Ellen Foley" I actually heard this version before the Stones'.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:36 Me too. It was a minor FM hit in New York
	3:38pm StringOFperils: Feel like Ellen got passed over a bit, once she got labelled as 'Mick Jones' girlfriend'
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:38 Yeah, really interesting performer, actress too, she was on Night Court for a while
	🥁 3:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 She was in Ocean Grove last April. jerseyshoreartscenter.org...
	3:40pm Erica: Speaking of Weird Al..
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:40 I didn't realize that there was a theater in that old school building in OG
	🥁 3:42pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Ship of Fools" by "World Party" Saw them at the Ritz for this tour, great show.
	🥁 3:43pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 yes -- so important to catch any of their shows now!
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:42 I never got to see them live. Private Revolution is such a great album
	🥁 3:45pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Stupid Man" by "Lou Reed" I didn't recognize Lou's voice. He sounds less tone-deaf than usual.
	3:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @3:33 Not sure, she has some CD's, but these days listening involves a Spotify Playlist.
	3:47pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 most people don't know their material until Dookie which came out in 94 and propelled them to the mainstream.
	3:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dare To Be Stupid" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I was downstairs making tea, and yelled, "weird al!" digging today's theme!
	3:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @3:45 Tried out other notes occasionally. Liked the Sprechstimme. "Actual singing is for schmucks."__Lou Reed ... I made that up
	3:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @3:40 ha!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:48 Excellent!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:48 yet it rings true
	🥁 3:49pm listener 126464: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Fantastic, agree.
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" Man, that Joe South guitar...
	3:50pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" groovy
	🥁 3:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Trust you had a good scoff last week.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:53 Hi Brian!
	🥁 3:55pm WLSClark: OOH, looking for "Fool's paradise" and see it! WILL I hear it?
	3:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chain of Fools" by "Aretha Franklin" Love this (have been going through a 4 CD Aretha Retrospective recently, so good)!
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:55 Hey Clark!
	3:55pm northguineahills: having a blast tailoring resumes and cover letters for various jobs (not much in southern vt, so looking mostly for remote positions)
	3:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ WLSClark @3:55 I've got dibs on Idiot Wind
	3:56pm Sloban: ↳ Song: "Foolish Fool" by "Dee Dee Warwick" Fantastic
	🥁 3:56pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Andrew and the many in radio land who are NOT fools for listening to this show!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sloban @3:56 Hi Sloban! This album is great.
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: Dig this!
	3:58pm Michael 98145: Obviously no shortage of tunes around this theme! Nice.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 No shortage AT ALL!
	🥁 4:00pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Everybody Plays the Fool" by "Main Ingredient" Foolish but a hit twice--Ronnie Dyson, right?
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:00 Aaron Neville
	4:01pm wenzo: Waiting for “I’m a fool for you” by James Carr…
	4:02pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Everybody Plays the Fool" by "Main Ingredient" Checking the info on this just to see how high it charted and, despite the deep in the ears and veins familiarity and favor, to be reminded of its exact year of success, and learned this also: "The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 1973 ceremony, losing to 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone.'"
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @4:01 Hey wenzo!
	4:02pm Erica: Going to jail ain't worth pleasing someone.
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:02 They can't complain that the Temps didn't deserve it
	4:04pm StringOFperils: Here's a little-known Toronto gem (about a f***ing idiot) from the late 80s that is...on-brand, re. Larry's earlier invective. Y'all can have it for dessert > www.youtube.com...
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 I'll check that out after the show. I'm not familiar with him.
	🥁 4:06pm Artie: ↳ Song: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by "Labelle" Oh, I like this one!!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Artie @4:06 Hey Artie! Isn't this a great version?
	🥁 4:06pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by "Labelle" That bass is awesome!
	4:07pm Erica: YEEAAHH!
	4:07pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Bit of a local eccentric...used to play out on the street in Kensington Market
	🥁 4:07pm Artie: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 It sure is, right down to the burbling bass line!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: Brace yourselves...
	🥁 4:10pm David Shortell: ↳ StringOFperils @3:56 I've got dibs on "How Sweet to Be an Idiot" by Neil Innes.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Super Stupid" by "Funkadelic" Tiki Fullwood's drums on this tracks are so fucking heavy
	4:11pm Michael 98145: Super
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 You just wrote those two magic words.
	4:12pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Super Stupid" by "Funkadelic" A lot of LSD went into making this album. This band's running on all 13 1/2 cylinders
	4:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 (No shortage of fools out ther...)
	4:12pm David The Splatter: I get to leave work a little early today, so I'm going mobile. Thanks in advance for the foolish show, Larry!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:12 (nope)
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Aftermath was full on sexist.
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @4:12 owsley what you did there...
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:15 Yeah right? Under My Thumb, too
	4:19pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 Keepin' tabs on me?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @4:12 Take it easy, David!
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @4:19 i just need a cool ice drink....
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ship Of Fools" by "Grateful Dead" :- )
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ship Of Fools" by "Grateful Dead" Thought I'd miss this (in and out of radio range at work), glad I didn't.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Had to play it!
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" CLASSIC!
	4:24pm Erica: More yacht rock from Steely Dan.
	🥁 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 Interesting album with eleven minute Goin' Home. Later copied by Love's Revelation on Da Capo. Then Jagger copies She Comes in Colours.
	4:25pm StringOFperils: I love this Dan song. Denny Dias in the band. Great composition. So good.
	🥁 4:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" The clarity after fifty years still stands the test of time.
	4:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Only a Fool Would Say That" by "Steely Dan" Another classic (I don't think of Steely Dan as Yacht Rock, that implies a lack of adventurousness, a smoothness, I don't think that's Dan at all!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:25 Where did they bury David Palmer?
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 I originally thought of them as jazz rock myself. But the Yacht Rock web series featured a parody of them.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: 'Yacht rock' s just one of those terms that tosses off the past, coined by hubris in a fleeting present by people who themselves are already being similarly labelled by some new upstarts
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:28 They're influential on the sound (much more so than Toto, many members of which play on SD albums), but they're a LOT deeper as songwriters than many of the artists under that banner
	4:30pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Idiot Wind" by "Bob Dylan" powerful
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 I did a show a few years back where I tried to recast the sound as white 70s rock influenced by Black R&B and jazz.
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: 'Chestnut Mare'. Is that a McGuinn reference?
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael C St Lou @4:30 Blood On the Tracks, so heavy
	4:31pm wenzo: Is this Hot Air Balloon Rock?
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 In that it's an actual "sound" but the post hoc coinage is a littl too tongue in cheek for its own good
	🥁 4:32pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 He meant it.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @4:31 The Sounds of the Minnesota Whine Cellar
	4:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:31 Yeah. It is cast in the pejorative, and seems to want to enlist others in not liking something. It's the tendentious thing that smells like dubious listener to me.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:34 All those drunken nitwits in captain's hats whooping it up at Yachtley Crew shows, because they're not cool enough to make it with the Parrotheads
	4:36pm StringOFperils: I'm with Neil. On the beach.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Stupidity Tries" by "Elliott Smith" Jeez, Elliott Smith has been gone for 21 years now
	🥁 4:37pm Brian in UK: Never knew of Yacht Rock's existence until listening to this station.
	4:38pm Erica: ↳ Brian in UK @4:37 Haha
	4:38pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Good afternoon everyone! Love the Elliott Smith track!
	4:39pm northguineahills: there's a new yacht rock doc on max right now...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:38 Hey Kip!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:39 It's actually pretty good
	4:39pm StringOFperils: Just wait 'til they all start talking about PhoneStep
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" This is the original version, by Van Dyke Parks brother Carson and his wife
	4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @4:37 i remember using that term back in 2005 (as a friend made a 'yacht rock' playlist for a bbq party)
	4:40pm Discotech Underground: Two suggestions if you do this as a theme show again... Robin Trower "The Fool And Me" Bob Seger "Ship Of Fools" This is an interesting theme!
	🥁 4:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" Sounds like Nino and April!
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Something Stupid" by "Carson and Gaile" Father & daughter singing this hit always sounded dodgy.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 Oh yeah.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:41 Of course you could dial up Nansy singing it with her brother on the Smothers Brothers Show
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 Both were on the list. I may very well return to this theme
	4:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 Wow! Now there's some arcane pop factoidage I would never have known
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:43 That's why I'm here!
