	3:03pm Sem: Reverend Larry, congregants, miscreants, and fire ants. Hello, along for the choir.
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:03 Hi Sem!
	3:04pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Susannah Hoffs" This is pretty good. Maybe a choice other than the strings for the arrangement, but what do I know...what?
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:03 Hiya, Sem!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:04 Hey sbp!
	3:05pm Sem: Andrew, good to see you this fine day.
	3:05pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Susannah Hoffs" ...Though the late string break/close fits well. But what do I know?
	🥁 3:07pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & cohorts.
	3:07pm northguineahills: buenas tardes, amigos!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Hi Brian!
	🥁 3:09pm Mxter Baba: …enjoying these unfamiliar familiarities! Hi, Larry and folx!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @3:09 Hey Baba!
	3:09pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Hello, Mr. Brian.
	3:10pm Sem: Love Dave Mason, wore that multi-coloured album plum out.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:10 That's a GREAT record
	3:11pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Only You Know and I Know" by "Delaney and Bonnie" Costello slapper in the house (playlist)!
	3:11pm Sem: Also have a fondness for Delaney and Bonnie.
	3:14pm Sem: With Russell wrangling the mad dogs and Englishmen, this is another of my early go-to albums.
	3:14pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:10 Yeah Larry, 'Alone Together' was a great guitar rock album. Traffic sound met L.A. Probably some same folks on this Cocker.
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:14 That whole circle of Leon, Cocker, Delaney and Bonnie, George Harrison and Clapton (and about 30 other people) were making some sweet sounds for a short while there
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:14 Yes, Leon is on the Mason LP for sure
	3:15pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 Amen, Rev. Larry.
	3:21pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Tried So Hard" by "Fairport Convention" Sounds like overlap of America's 60s folk period and Laurel Canyon generation, but doesn't sound like Fairport Convention as I've encountered them before.
	🥁 3:21pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:09 Hello Sem. I picked 'The Lonely One' on Uncle Michael's show recently.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:21 That's a cover of a Gene Clark song from a live BBC session
	🥁 3:22pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 Oddly I thought there were hints of The Move.
	3:24pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:21 Haven't heard that one in a while. The artist, Duane Eddy?
	3:26pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Got my late pass... good afternoon, folks :)
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:26 Hey Vincent!
	3:34pm Sem: This is a whole lot of nothing.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:34 What is?
	3:37pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 Bad joke:Mas Que Nada is Brazilian Portuguese "... Mas que nada (in a literal translation: just nothing) colloquially to disagree with someone. A fitting English translation might be a sarcastic "Yeah, right!" or "No way!" via wikithingy
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:37 Aha!
	3:41pm doctorjazz: Hello Larry, Undercover folk!
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:41 Hey Doc!
	3:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Sem @3:37 wouldn't "more than nothing" be close?
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:45 Hey NGH!
	3:46pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Canto de Carnival/Laia Ladaia" by "Carnival" Found three mint copies of this at a record show recently. This is the stand out track from the LP in my estimation.It typifies that late 60's Brazilian sound.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:46 Great album, and as far as I know they were almost all American.
	3:48pm Sem: ↳ northguineahills @3:45 Hey, ngh, good to see you. Your point is the next paragraph on wikithingy: "With many recordings, the title song is incorrectly written Mais que nada (Portuguese for "more than nothing")[3] which would fundamentally alter its meaning, and would be the equivalent to the Spanish expression más que nada, which means "more than anything", or "above all", and is used in the sense of "mainly" or "principally"."
	3:50pm Erica: This must be the Brazilian cover set.
	3:51pm Erica: Took me this long to figure it out.
	3:52pm Sem: ↳ Erica @3:51 Trying not to make a joke involving cover and Brazilian.
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ Sem @3:52 Probably won't be as bad as that one Simpsons episode where they went to Brazil and the place was a wreck.
	3:53pm still b/p: My limited leftover high school Spanish section of brain would half-heartedly try to approximate the translation for Mas Que Nada title now and then, but I'd drift quickly off the effort. Why? Because I am a lazy limb of Satan.
	3:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Corcovado" by "Everything But the Girl" i have this comp!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:53 Big fave of mine
	3:55pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Chill out meet ms drum and bass.
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... therese played this five years ago!
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... this was my gateway to herbie mann...
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... I never heard this, cool (more and more getting to appreciate Herbie Mann, used to write him off).
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 I love Herbie, and this was a perfect match-up of artists
	4:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 I'm such a jazz snob...
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 Herbie is such an interesting, and I would argue IMPORTANT figure in the popularizing of ethnic sounds and blending them with jazz. He also had a number of avant garde musicians as regularmemembers of his bands.
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Learning all that as I go along (WFMU exposure helps). And I'm getting a bit less snobby (I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now, a wise man once said).
	4:03pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 you might need a physician to fix that...
	4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:03 I do my best to stay away from those guys...
	4:05pm Michael 98145: Hello, Everyone. Had to step out to feed the chickadees.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:05 Hi Michael!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @3:48 Thank you. I learned something. Mas = but. Mais = more, plus. Wish i knew more Portuguese.
	4:13pm Erica: Back to the soulllll
	4:15pm Michael 98145: Guess i didn't realize the Atco label still exists.
	4:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" ;- )
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:12 Me, too. You feed chickadees. Here, I feed a flock of ~40 mourning doves.
	4:16pm Erica: Christ you know it ain't easy (when you're in love with Yoko)
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" This used to be my party piece, way back...
	4:17pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @4:16 We have a yard full of chickadees and juncos.
	4:17pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" I'm actually gonna say it with some sincerity: This could use some TASTEFULLY placed cowbell.
	4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" Like the sound of the acoustic and electric guitars against each other.
	4:18pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:17 Yes, seeing a lot of juncos, and their small friends, plenty. Hard to know what's out there to peck at, the doves are relentless hunt and peckers.
	4:18pm Michael 98145: i come for the music and stay for the education
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" wouldn't think there would be too many covers of this back in '69.... shows what i know...
	4:19pm Erica: My right ear: WORDS
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 I can't think of another one!
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:15 I don't think it does.
	4:20pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 secondhandsongs.com...
	4:21pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Do the Dog" by "Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames" for Dr Jazz
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:20 Hootie and the Blowfish!?!?
	4:22pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Yeah, Huh.
	4:22pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 According to the robot: "In 2020, ATCO returned to the aegis of Atlantic Records, where it was relaunched. On February 14"
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:22 It looks like they use it for reissues and greatest hits packages
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Sem @4:22 would not have figured that!
	4:24pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:22 "The label merged with EastWest Records in 1991 and the ATCO name was eventually dropped. Rhino Entertainment briefly relaunched the imprint in 2006 with releases from Scarlett Johansson, Keith Sweat, Queensryche and The New York Dolls before it went dormant again."
	4:26pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Words" by "The Leaves" Took a minute to dawn on me that Monkees version of Words was what I was reeling in from recollection. Background on their recording/release and use of it is slightly complicated, though. Do I recall it because it was featured, I see, in one of the TV episodes in '67? That would seem too passing an encounter -- hearing in a rerun or two in addition to watching show as a wee Monkee fan -- to get so planted.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:26 Those Boyce/Hart songs got around. There are a bunch of contemporaneous versions of a lot of songs associated with the Monkees
	4:30pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm sure you've seen the Fanny documentary on PBS, right? So goooood :)
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:30 Not yet.
	4:31pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Well worth your time. Highly recommended...
	4:33pm Michael 98145: sounds like he wants more than a spoonful
	4:34pm Sem: Love Randy's early work.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: This is from an album the guy from Ween did of all Rod McKuen songs
	4:42pm Beantown Doug: Really great eclectic selections today, Larry. PJ Proby did an early cover of "Mama Told Me Not to Come" on his "Phenomenon" album.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Beantown Doug @4:42 Thanks, Doug!
	4:49pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, fun show, thanks Larry!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:49 Glad you enjoyed it, Doc!
	4:49pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Song: "One Too Many Mornings" by "Bobby Sherman" Oh, the crush my twin sister had on Bobby Sherman.
	4:49pm Sem: ^what the good Doctor said.
	4:51pm Sem: Bobby Sherman covering Dylan. Man, didn't see that coming.
	4:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @4:51 same here
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:51 Me neither. My father in law brought me a box of records he found at a garage sale and that was in it.
	4:52pm northguineahills: thanks, Larry! t'was fun!
	4:53pm still b/p: ↳ Beantown Doug @4:49 My sisters, too. I don't know why, but I always felt a little sympathy for Sherman, though he may not need it or want it. He seemed, more than others, a young guy caught in the shallow splashy teen idol-making machine by happenstance.
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Leaving On a Jet Plane" by "Harpers Bizarre" haven't heard this harpers bizarre....
	4:54pm Michael 98145: Fun show. Thanx.
	4:54pm bradford: Thanks as always Larry, had a blast!
	4:54pm Erica: That final set relaxed me to sleep Zzz
	4:54pm Beantown Doug: I remember when Peter, Paul & Mary suddenly had a couple of hit singles, after seeming to disappear. Later I realized that, with Dylan out of commission, Albert Grossman must have remembered he had another act to manage.
	4:55pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 Thanks Larry! Fun show today!
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I did dig... thank you.
	🥁 4:55pm Mxter Baba: thanks for the fine listening and chatting, Larry and folx!
	4:55pm Sem: Next time, Reverend.
	4:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Larry.
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	4:56pm still b/p: Thank you very much for the show.
	4:56pm Erica: Thank you Larry for more covers!
	4:57pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful episode! Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
	1:57pm Cal Zone!: Listening now! Thanks in advance!
	1:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @1:57 There’s one in there especially for you!

Your point is the next paragraph on wikithingy: "With many recordings, the title song is incorrectly written Mais que nada (Portuguese for "more than nothing")[3] which would fundamentally alter its meaning, and would be the equivalent to the Spanish expression más que nada, which means "more than anything", or "above all", and is used in the sense of "mainly" or "principally"."
	3:50pm Erica: This must be the Brazilian cover set.
	3:51pm Erica: Took me this long to figure it out.
	3:52pm Sem: ↳ Erica @3:51 Trying not to make a joke involving cover and Brazilian.
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ Sem @3:52 Probably won't be as bad as that one Simpsons episode where they went to Brazil and the place was a wreck.
	3:53pm still b/p: My limited leftover high school Spanish section of brain would half-heartedly try to approximate the translation for Mas Que Nada title now and then, but I'd drift quickly off the effort. Why? Because I am a lazy limb of Satan.
	3:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Corcovado" by "Everything But the Girl" i have this comp!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:53 Big fave of mine
	3:55pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Chill out meet ms drum and bass.
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... therese played this five years ago!
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... this was my gateway to herbie mann...
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "One Note Samba/Surfboard" by "Stereolab and Herbi... I never heard this, cool (more and more getting to appreciate Herbie Mann, used to write him off).
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 I love Herbie, and this was a perfect match-up of artists
	4:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 I'm such a jazz snob...
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 Herbie is such an interesting, and I would argue IMPORTANT figure in the popularizing of ethnic sounds and blending them with jazz. He also had a number of avant garde musicians as regularmemembers of his bands.
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Learning all that as I go along (WFMU exposure helps). And I'm getting a bit less snobby (I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now, a wise man once said).
	4:03pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 you might need a physician to fix that...
	4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:03 I do my best to stay away from those guys...
	4:05pm Michael 98145: Hello, Everyone. Had to step out to feed the chickadees.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:05 Hi Michael!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @3:48 Thank you. I learned something. Mas = but. Mais = more, plus. Wish i knew more Portuguese.
	4:13pm Erica: Back to the soulllll
	4:15pm Michael 98145: Guess i didn't realize the Atco label still exists.
	4:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" ;- )
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:12 Me, too. You feed chickadees. Here, I feed a flock of ~40 mourning doves.
	4:16pm Erica: Christ you know it ain't easy (when you're in love with Yoko)
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" This used to be my party piece, way back...
	4:17pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @4:16 We have a yard full of chickadees and juncos.
	4:17pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" I'm actually gonna say it with some sincerity: This could use some TASTEFULLY placed cowbell.
	4:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" Like the sound of the acoustic and electric guitars against each other.
	4:18pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:17 Yes, seeing a lot of juncos, and their small friends, plenty. Hard to know what's out there to peck at, the doves are relentless hunt and peckers.
	4:18pm Michael 98145: i come for the music and stay for the education
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" by "Vinnie Bell" wouldn't think there would be too many covers of this back in '69.... shows what i know...
	4:19pm Erica: My right ear: WORDS
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 I can't think of another one!
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:15 I don't think it does.
	4:20pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 secondhandsongs.com...
	4:21pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Do the Dog" by "Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames" for Dr Jazz
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:20 Hootie and the Blowfish!?!?
	4:22pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Yeah, Huh.
	4:22pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 According to the robot: "In 2020, ATCO returned to the aegis of Atlantic Records, where it was relaunched. On February 14"
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:22 It looks like they use it for reissues and greatest hits packages
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Sem @4:22 would not have figured that!
	4:24pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:22 "The label merged with EastWest Records in 1991 and the ATCO name was eventually dropped. Rhino Entertainment briefly relaunched the imprint in 2006 with releases from Scarlett Johansson, Keith Sweat, Queensryche and The New York Dolls before it went dormant again."
	4:26pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Words" by "The Leaves" Took a minute to dawn on me that Monkees version of Words was what I was reeling in from recollection. Background on their recording/release and use of it is slightly complicated, though. Do I recall it because it was featured, I see, in one of the TV episodes in '67? That would seem too passing an encounter -- hearing in a rerun or two in addition to watching show as a wee Monkee fan -- to get so planted.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:26 Those Boyce/Hart songs got around. There are a bunch of contemporaneous versions of a lot of songs associated with the Monkees
	4:30pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm sure you've seen the Fanny documentary on PBS, right? So goooood :)
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:30 Not yet.
	4:31pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Well worth your time. Highly recommended...
	4:33pm Michael 98145: sounds like he wants more than a spoonful
	4:34pm Sem: Love Randy's early work.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: This is from an album the guy from Ween did of all Rod McKuen songs
	4:42pm Beantown Doug: Really great eclectic selections today, Larry. PJ Proby did an early cover of "Mama Told Me Not to Come" on his "Phenomenon" album.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Beantown Doug @4:42 Thanks, Doug!
	4:49pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, fun show, thanks Larry!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:49 Glad you enjoyed it, Doc!
	4:49pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Song: "One Too Many Mornings" by "Bobby Sherman" Oh, the crush my twin sister had on Bobby Sherman.
	4:49pm Sem: ^what the good Doctor said.
	4:51pm Sem: Bobby Sherman covering Dylan. Man, didn't see that coming.
	4:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @4:51 same here
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:51 Me neither. My father in law brought me a box of records he found at a garage sale and that was in it.
	4:52pm northguineahills: thanks, Larry! t'was fun!
	4:53pm still b/p: ↳ Beantown Doug @4:49 My sisters, too. I don't know why, but I always felt a little sympathy for Sherman, though he may not need it or want it. He seemed, more than others, a young guy caught in the shallow splashy teen idol-making machine by happenstance.
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Leaving On a Jet Plane" by "Harpers Bizarre" haven't heard this harpers bizarre....
	4:54pm Michael 98145: Fun show. Thanx.
	4:54pm bradford: Thanks as always Larry, had a blast!
	4:54pm Erica: That final set relaxed me to sleep Zzz
	4:54pm Beantown Doug: I remember when Peter, Paul & Mary suddenly had a couple of hit singles, after seeming to disappear. Later I realized that, with Dylan out of commission, Albert Grossman must have remembered he had another act to manage.
	4:55pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 Thanks Larry! Fun show today!
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I did dig... thank you.
