7-8 am, the street is still in shade, perfect for exercise. At 8 am, the sun crisps the shrubbery and *every dog walker in the neighborhood* emerges at once.

Yeah, I heard that New England might get snow!?

Larry, Los Angeles, specifically Studio City.

I suspect that quarantine in extreme heat is quite unpleasant.

Larry!

Luckily A/C is omonipresent in FL, but I fear their is a leak in my freon in my car.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:14pm
Funky16Corners:

NGH!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:15pm
Funky16Corners:

Is it the kind of leak they can repair/refill or no? I know the rules about that are kind of strict.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:16pm
Listener Bob in PGH:

It was a nice sunny and warm spring day here today, but by the wee early hours of Saturday morning we will have a frost advisory with lows predicted in the mid-20s F. Uncommon but not rare for this time of year. Until May 15th it's a roll of the dice.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:17pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, Spring is still deciding whether to get all the way out of bed
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:18pm
Erica:

Yeah Larry I am not ready for hot summer days yet.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:19pm
Funky16Corners:

I want it to be just warm enough that I can sit out on the deck without a sweater and enjoy a beer.

Coldplay on Testify!? I'll say Larry the pandemic has gotten to you.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm not a huge fan of their oeuvre in general, but I love this song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:28pm
Funky16Corners:

That's OK. If you don't dig Coldplay, the next track will fix your wagon.
Avatar 3:28pm
dawneden:

I always thought this Coldplay song was a rewrite of "There Must Be a Better Life" by Biff Bang Pow. www.youtube.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Dawn! It's certainly on the same side of the street. I've played the BBP track at least once here on Testify.
Avatar ♥ 3:29pm
northguineahills:

Cold fronnt came through, and the temp drop from a hottish 90F/32C to 70F/21C, and the humidity dropped. Supposed to get down to 49F/7C tonight, which is chilly for here this time of the year. I love full sun and no humidity (rarity in FL).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:30pm
Funky16Corners:

It's in the mid-50s here, but it's sunny and green, so I can't complain.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:30pm
Erica:

I didn't say I didn't like Coldplay Larry. I just didn't expect to hear it here.
Avatar ♥ 3:30pm
northguineahills:

I usually can't stand Coldplay, but this track has slowly grown on me.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:30pm
doctorjazz:

@ngh, yeah, just couldn't wait!

dawneden:

Great to hear you on WFMU, Larry! I'll have to check out your show's archives.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:31pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Dawn! I think you'll find some stuff to dig.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Doug Schulkind:

"I didn't expect to hear [insert surprise selection] on your show" is the greatest compliment a DJ can ever receive!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@NGH - They're one of those bands that I can't get into over the long haul, but I find that track irresistable.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doug! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:34pm
Funky16Corners:

Sax by Teo Macero on this track! I'm more used to seeing him in a supervisory capacity.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:34pm
Erica:

Nobody expected the pandemic we have to change our lives but here we are.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
Funky16Corners:

Gotta play the cards you're dealt.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:36pm
Funky16Corners:

I have all 10:15 of this track committed to memory. My father had this record when I was a kid and I fell in love with it.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:37pm
Erica:

As long as you don't play to lose Larry. Can't gamble your life during these times.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

I am playing my hand close to home, and masked-up when I'm not.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm

My wife sewed us all masks.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
doctorjazz:

Dad had a cool record collection.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:38pm
Erica:

Smart move Larry.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

He did/does. Mostly jazz and classical, but that provided an excellent foundation
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

You'll often hear things on this show that I can trace right back to him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
Doug Schulkind:

@Funky16Corners
It took me a while to get used to the Spanish Inquisition. But then I learned to love it!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:43pm
Funky16Corners:

If you get the right set of thumb-screws you'll never go back to any of the other Inquisitions.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:43pm
Erica:

And once it's over Doug, you'll miss it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm
Funky16Corners:

These guys are - aside from Kris Holmes and Taika Wiatiti - the best thing to come out of New Zealand.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:46pm
Erica:

Australia & New Zealand to be exact.

Hello Larry and stuck in the muds!!! I'm up for an Auto Da Fe tonight.

Freddie Hubbard, trumpetizing on this one

Kiwis are cool.

@Erica - All of the above, except for the shoe polish
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:55pm
Erica:

Haha Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:00pm
Brian in UK:

Larry. It's Heavy in Here is one of my favourites. Eric Matthews is also a great trumpet player.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:00pm
Brian in UK:

Erica, all of them!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:00pm
Funky16Corners:

@Brian, mine too, though I was put off of it for a while when I found out that Matthews is kind of an unpleasant person. I just ignore it these days and appreciate the music.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:02pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't know if he tours anymore, but if you get a chance to see Andy Bey live, do so
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, same here. I have this odd idea with Bill Cosby. I loved his albums, Revenge etc. I cannot find them unfunny even though he is a despicable character, now.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm
Brian in UK:

Would love a spoken word show on the stream.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:07pm
Jeff Ash:

This vibe keeps up, I am going to demand a drink, a cigarette and Michelle Pfeiffer draped over the piano.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:07pm
Funky16Corners:

I keep thinking about doing an all-comedy episode. I should get to work on it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:08pm
Funky16Corners:

@Jeff - I would accept that scenario in any/all circumstances
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:08pm
Jeff Ash:

You do an all-comedy show, give me a shout. I have some obscure things that may be of interest.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:09pm
Funky16Corners:

Ooh! Will do!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:14pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, EM added trumpet to some tracks on Tahiti 80's Wallpaper for the Soul. A great French pop record.

Hi Larry – thanks as always for the show, a treat to listen to! Have a great day everybody!

Just been watching the last super moon of this year coming over the eastern horizon.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:23pm
Funky16Corners:

I hope it remains clear enough to see it when we rotate into its path!
Avatar 4:29pm
zivilars:

@Larry: If you're doing an all-comedy episode, hoping for at least one Elvis snippet from his "Having Fun With Elvis On Stage" album :)
Avatar 4:29pm
zivilars:

I find it so funny that they really made an own "live album" of his jokes on stage
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:29pm
Funky16Corners:

I think I could work that in! Especially the weird version of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight"
Avatar 4:30pm
zivilars:

yeah, the laughing version is hilarious - was a big hit as a single at least here in Germany

Nope but I should check out the soundtrack

You'll love the Felder cut.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:55pm

I have. It could only exist in the universe of the mid '70s. Can't imagine it having much appeal today.

Thanks, Larry! Have a good evening!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:57pm

I was a fan of Heavy Metal magazine, don't remember seeing the film.

I liked the magazine. Heavy Metal.

WR:

Relistening. Yes that Tanya track from Gordon's album, 18 minutes of giving each player plenty of solo space. I before i could start to get impatient the next soloist drew me into what they were doing, fully holding my attention with their take on the tune. Making me slow down and be in the moment.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:21am
WR:

You DJ bed music on this show is like some sad tragic movie soundtrack. Just saying...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:37am
WR:

Duke Pearson track! Have not heard this before. My mistake to skip over his output all these years.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:57am
WR:

Enjoyed so much that I listened to the end, not just what I missed on Thursday. You are a master broadcaster Mr. Grogan. I salute you. Thank you. Later will be listening again to your dance party show. It is all killer no filler for sure!
