	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Erica: Hey Testifiers! Sorry I'm late to the chat. I had trouble with the chat on my phone as the layout changed a bit.
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Julie: I was just saying there's a couple songs on the first Genesis album I swear Peter is trying to sound like the Bee Gees
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm doctorjazz: Sounded Like a Fountains of Wayne song (before the singing started). THAT'S where the riff (simple as out is)came from!
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I just noticed that (I monitor the show on my phone)
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Julie - It wouldn't surprise me, They were much bigger in the UK than they were here at the time
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Julie: A lot of people still don't know there's much more to them than disco
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I wouldn't be surprised if FoW ingested the early Bee Gees stuff heavily
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: @Julie - I got into the earky stiuff back in the mod/garage days of the 80s and I've been an evangelist for that stuff ever since

	♥ 3:17pm Stanley: Sweet Candy

	♥ 3:22pm Little Danny: Heya Larry, hey all
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Erica: The Expanded edition of the Bee Gees early albums include Christmas songs.

	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: The third Jennifer Warnes album is produced by John Cale. Really good
	♥ 3:33pm Little Danny: Dang. Don't think I've ever heard any '60s versions of "Red Chair Fade Away." This is pretty faithful, I even hear some mellotron-like tones!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Sem: Hello, Larry the G, the freely-testifying, and those doing do under duress. That's worse than being under the weather, underwater and under a misapprehension. Understand?
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: Here comes another!
	♥ 3:33pm Little Danny: (one of my top five Bee Gees tracks btw, Red Chair Fade Away)
	♥ 3:33pm Little Danny: Whoooa
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Bill Shepherd was the arranger on all the early Bee Gees LPs. This is his album of easy takes on their stuff. Atco 1968
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: The Cyrkle with two separate 45s with Bee Gees covers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:40pm Sem: I wonder if this was before or after Red Rubber Ball?
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: After
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Red Rubber Ball was 1966
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm doctorjazz: James Carr, ahhhhhhhhh......
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: My sentiments exactly
	♥ 3:45pm Creature Boy: John Cale ! Jeepers! That red rubber ball album has Lotsa great chunks in it
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey Larry et al. You can't go wrong with this one ( To Love Somebody. Saw Swamp Dogg do this as a show finale at a free noon show at MetroTech in Brooklyn. WooooooW!
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Been getting into Roberta Flack's first five or six albums lately. Lots of great stuff.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry, how slow can you go.
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! I've gone slower...
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Brian in UK: Me too but I was horizontal at the time.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm John from NP: Good luck to your son, Larry. Hope all goes well.

	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Thanks John!
	4:11pm zivilars: Hey Larry – long time listener via podcast, but first time live. Great show, great job, thanks for all the great hours of music!
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars! Welcome to the chat!
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Erica: Hi Zivilars. Welcome to the chat.
	4:15pm zivilars: Thanks Erica & Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm doctorjazz: PJ, another singer with that insane vibrato.
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, he and Robin Gibb could have a quaver-off
	🥁 ♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Proby was kind of wacky, but when he was on, he was really good
	🥁 ♥ 4:26pm Brian in UK: Did P J Proby cover Somewhere from west Side Story. Some-er-where.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I think he did
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm doctorjazz: Buck Owens? Wouldn'ta, guessed.
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Sem: Love some Buck from time to time. Thx, Larry. Greets, BiUK.
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: I think this was initially unreleased. It came out on a comp in 2007
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Sem - I LOVE 1960s Buck/Buckaroos!
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Sem: Isn't BiUK Owens a Welsh name?
	4:29pm zivilars: You can give me Buck Owens any day – love him
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Brian in UK: Hey Sem, did I see you quoting Dylan Thomas the other day?
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Sem: Yes, you did. Quoted the 4th stanza, about Wild men. Also learned that the form of that piece was an Italian form, the word for which translated into "peasant."
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Brian in UK: Are you acquainted with Under Milk Wood - A play for voices?
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Sem: villanelle. Yes, Brian. Have heard it on a number of occsions, always just mind-altering. That voice, I would kill for one like it. To say nothing of the romantic sensibility. And the vocabulary. And the intensity, ...ah, shit.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Brian in UK: F16C this covers came out so soon after the album.
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Yes, lots of very contemporary covers. I suspect the Bee Gees publishing was getting the material out there very fast
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Brian in UK: There are several versions but it has to be Richard Burton. Such wonderful use of words. '...thirst like a dredger'. comes to mind.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: BTW when this came out,Lulu was Mrs Maurice Gibb
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Sem: Yes, Burton the sine qua non no doubt.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Sem: Forgotten that pop culture nugget. Everyone so young.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Erica: I didn't know Lulu married Morris. Thanks for sharing Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: That's why I'm here!
	4:45pm zivilars: This is such a nice calming set for a late evening here ...
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Brian in UK: I think that Lulu wore a fur lined outfit on the day (this is a very distant memory and probably dodgy memory)
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - Thanks! I always try to keep the final set mellow.
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: This is the end, my only friend, the end. Great show, though, thanks, Larry! (Going to catch up with the parts of last night's Bodega Pop Beatles tribute whilewaiting for Flash).
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Take it easy Doc!
	4:47pm zivilars: @Larry: You definitely did a perfect job! :)
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Brian in UK: So, parts 2-11 after the marathon.
	🥁 ♥ 4:48pm Sem: @Brian: d29l8fj0bhi1tg.cloudfront.net...
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: That does appear to be fur-lined!
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Brian in UK: Sem, Stroll on, not seen that since it happened. Good luck for next week, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Erica: What time does the marathon start Larry? Just want to be sure.
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: This Saturday on Todd's show
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Erica: Not sure I can make it Larry, if it's in the morning or afternoon.
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Sem: Been a smooth ride down memory lane, much obliged, Larry. See you 'round the Marathon. Catch up w/ you and all then.
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm doctorjazz: Don't know Labi Siffri, fine singer.
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Later Sem!
	5:00pm zivilars: Thanks, Larry – have a great day! Goodnight everybody!
	🥁 ♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Much bigger in the UK and Europe. Really nice voice
	🥁 ♥ 5:01pm Erica: Thanks for the Bee Gees tribute show Larry. Until next time.
	🥁 ♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars! Erica!

	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: This is the end, my only friend, the end. Great show, though, thanks, Larry! (Going to catch up with the parts of last night's Bodega Pop Beatles tribute whilewaiting for Flash).
