Hey Matt!

Franco Twinkie:

Larry, I feel as though I need to know about anyone who is bold enough to call themselves Tupper Saussy.

Erica:

Hi testifiers

Jeff Ash:

My son drank a liter of Mountain Dew during his PhD class tonight and just tweeted that "now I can see sounds." I have a hunch this evening's program will leave me feeling much the same.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:05pm
Funky16Corners:

Franco! Erica! Jeff!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:05pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - I will do my best to explain!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:06pm
Franco Twinkie:

Jeff, Is he in a control group at Stanford?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:06pm
Funky16Corners:

@Jeff - The ability to transcend reality will vary from person to person, but we always try!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:08pm
Jeff Ash:

No, Franco, just your garden-variety history class at Maryland. Not all that far from Larry!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:09pm
Franco Twinkie:

I get the feeling The Wayward Bus only has a glancing resemblance to John Steinbeck.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:11pm
Franco Twinkie:

Okay, crank. Let's get that established right out of the gate.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm
Franco Twinkie:

Kmart Nostradamus.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:14pm
Erica:

Kmart Franco?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:14pm
Funky16Corners:

Here's the link to the article. Makes for fascinating reading: www.oxfordamerican.org...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Funky16Corners:

I think Franco is referring to David Hoy, the voice in the first record
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16pm
Franco Twinkie:

Yes.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:16pm
Erica:

Oh. I thought he was talking about the department store. Haha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
Franco Twinkie:

To obtuse, I guess.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:21pm
Funky16Corners:

If you guys sense any break in the stream please give me a heads up. They were having problems today.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:21pm
Erica:

Oh not again Larry.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:21pm
Erica:

We'll let you know.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:22pm
Funky16Corners:

I know that the tech people were on the case.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm
Franco Twinkie:

Without delving into the article, I'll bet Mr. Saussy found employment scoring some less that epic projects on the sound stages of Hollywood.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Funky16Corners:

As far as I can tell, outside of some advertising work he never recorded outside of Nashville.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Franco Twinkie:

Wow, his talent is so outsized and worldly for such a provincial factory town.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, thus my fascination with him, You expect this kind of thing out of NY or London. Not Nashville.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:33pm
Erica:

When Ray Stevens tried to sound English.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Franco Twinkie:

Exactly.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - This Ray Stevens album is pretty good, but this is the only thing on it that sounds like this
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
doctorjazz:

Hi all.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Funky16Corners:

It's also the only one with the involvement of Tupper Saussy
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Franco Twinkie:

This is real Stilton cheese!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doc!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:39pm
Franco Twinkie:

It's like if David Axelrod never went to the dark side....but apparently he did!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:40pm
Funky16Corners:

Less funky than Axelrod, but equally far out
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Funky16Corners:

That Roy Orbison track I mentioned is up next
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Franco Twinkie:

It seems as if he had a whole universe banging around inside his head. Usually people who have a contained battle plan are the ones who go off the rails.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah. In the article there's a quote from someone that knew him who basically said he was too intelligent for his own good.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
Funky16Corners:

Like all that brainpower and creative drive and not enough legitimate artistic expression to use it all up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Franco Twinkie:

Right. And probably a lot of self regard that was not properly acknowledged. But, they kept throwing money at him hoping for pay dirt.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah. He had one hit and he kept making records that must have cost a mint and brought in little money in return.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Franco Twinkie:

Mr. Business Man by Ray Stevens would not have been possible without Man In The Gray Flannel Suit.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Funky16Corners:

True, and it's one of those records that was a hit but is kind of neglected by oldies radio.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
Franco Twinkie:

It's to strident, I guess, But it could easily be applied to the young corporate strives of today.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm
Funky16Corners:

It's an evergreen sentiment
  11:07pm
rw:

Good evening! Nice to see Franco and Funky getting along so well!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:07pm
Erica:

Hi rw!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey rw! Me and Franco get on like gangbusters!
  11:08pm
rw:

Erica!
  11:09pm
rw:

And sorry to interrupt. Just wanted to say hello!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Glad you're here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Franco Twinkie:

Larry, that sentiment is kind of like the horrible insect that hibernates under the soil for fifty years then wakes up and nauseates everybody.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
chresti:

Harlequin marmalade moth buses
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:12pm
Erica:

Speaking of horrible insects, it seems like everyone is fascinated by those spotted lantern flies.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - As our current situation proves, greed never goes away. Sometimes it erupts like a volcano.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm
Franco Twinkie:

Erica, so the prognosis is this: No more plant life unless...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I hadn't heard about that. Creepy.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:15pm
Erica:

Yeah I saw on the news that those lantern flies are being used as science projects and jewelry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:16pm
Franco Twinkie:

Can you cook them?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:17pm
Erica:

Why would you Franco?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm
Funky16Corners:

Banjo!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm
Franco Twinkie:

Erica, I don't know. But they say a neglected form of protein are bugs. I myself am not adverse to the occasional toasted grasshopper.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:23pm
Erica:

Sorry Franco but I don't eat insects. I fear of getting sick or having parasites.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm
Franco Twinkie:

I can see Ken Berry doing a little soft shoe while tapping a cane doing this 1970's material.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Funky16Corners:

I think that is spot on
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm
Franco Twinkie:

Erica, I hope I'm not around anymore when all of humanity is going backwards as it goes forward and is reduced to eating bugs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm
Franco Twinkie:

Penny Nichols gets fourth billing on this concert poster below Traffic, Blue Cheer and H.P. Lovecraft.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Funky16Corners:

She was good friends with a young Jackson Browne and I think George Harrison as well.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:38pm
Erica:

Fargo should've been bigger. Ever heard of "Sunny Day Blue"? I discovered the 45 rip from Little Danny's Office Naps blog.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38pm
Franco Twinkie:

She was also married to Harry Shearer.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Really?!?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:39pm
Erica:

Ned Flanders Harry Shearer?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - This is the flipside to Sunny Day Blue
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Franco Twinkie:

I read it, so it must be true.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41pm
Franco Twinkie:

Yes, Erica. Flanders.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:41pm
Erica:

Cool Larry. Also, I wish to hear a clearer copy of that song. Danny's was not in the best shape.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Harry goes back to the 50s in LA. He was on the Jack Benny show as a child actor
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I'll def play it sometime
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:43pm
Franco Twinkie:

I use to see him preform at The Ashgrove.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:45pm
Funky16Corners:

With the Credibility Gap?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:45pm
Franco Twinkie:

Yup.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:46pm
Erica:

While on the subject of the Neon Philharmonic, do you have this 45 Larry? Is it the same band or is it the other band, the Neon Philharmonic Orchestra? www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47pm
Funky16Corners:

That's the band name after it was sold to someone else. No Saussy involvement as far as I know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:48pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Thanks Larry. Have a good night everyone. I’ve been listening but had stuff to do.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:48pm
Funky16Corners:

Nite Matt!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:50pm
Erica:

I am still curious to hear the A and b sides anyway Larry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
Franco Twinkie:

This is real nice.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - Me too. I'll grab it if I see it somewhere.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - This whole album is really nice.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:52pm
Erica:

There are a few copies on Discogs Larry, not sure if they're in good condition though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm
Franco Twinkie:

Well Larry, this show was quite a revelation. Now I have another under recognized crack pot to study up on.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:57pm
Erica:

This show went bu quite quickly. I learned a bit tonight.
  11:59pm
rw:

Thank you F16C! Wasn't paying much attention to the history, etc. this evening (even though it sounded interesting) but did enjoy listening!! Take care everyone!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Erica!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - Under-recognized crackpots are a specialty of the house!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am
Funky16Corners:

Thanks rw!
  12:00am
rw:

And I think one of those spotted bugs just bit me on the elbow. Or maybe it was a mosquito.
