	👻 1:40pm Mr Fab: well i was a huge Wall of Voodoo fan as a kid, so that sound is pretty ingrained into me
	1:41pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Mr. Fab, Shineman, Herbie, doctorjazz and WR!
	1:41pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Music To Watch Girls By" by "Andy Williams" The song title made me chuckle.
	👻 1:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:41 Mr O! Got your girl-watcher shades on?
	1:42pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Mr Fab @1:41 I have eternal social anxiety shades on for now haha.
	1:42pm Shineman: Hi Mr. Oxford

	1:45pm Shineman: Ripping sax old surf
	👻 1:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @1:45 ha, yeah - that's how its credited. But of course probably some Wrecking Crew member. Plas Johnson, maybe?
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Music To Watch Girls By" by "Andy Williams" Used to watch the Andy Williams show as a kid, with family, back in the day (I'm old...)
	👻 1:48pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Soft Nights in Vegas" by "Tony Messina" veteran lounge guy still doin it. At least as of a decade or so ago, when this came out. The last of a dying breed.
	1:48pm Shineman: You Don't have Then Came Bruce or Along Came Bruce?
	1:50pm Shineman: This the Ray Anthony song.
	👻 1:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Shineman @1:48 no, sorry. But there will be more Ray Anthony swimming your way later.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:41 Hi Mr. Oxford!
	1:51pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: a song I've never click-starred a track so soon.
	👻 1:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: a song the drinks - or something - def starting to kick in now.
	1:52pm Shineman: You should check it out Bruce West Scott Trio
	1:53pm Shineman: Westscott

	1:54pm WR: ↳ Song: a song I didn't know that Ray Anthony made be such lively music.
	👻 1:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @1:54 a little something for the kids
	1:56pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: a song Hahahaha there is a Hindi language Bollywood song that plagiarizes this song note to note. Or at least the main chorus. Here is the link to the song: www.youtube.com...
	👻 1:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:56 Right on, I love Bollywood rip-offs! They're silly fun.
	👻 1:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: a song estate-sale vinyl here. You don't hear a lot of xylophone solos in today's pop music.
	👻 2:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: a song this one is so stupid. Sorry, couldn't resist.
	2:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: a song Cool cover!
	2:02pm WR: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:56 Thanks for the link. I watched a bit of it. Feeling somewhat moved to find the movie to get some context for that scene.
	2:02pm Shineman: Vic
	👻 2:02pm Mr Fab: here's your Vic Caesar, Shineman. For some reason the playlist is stuck
	2:04pm Shineman: Vic! Thanks
	2:04pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Mr Fab @1:56 Oh there are sooo many hahaha. Bollywood rip-offs were frequent before the 2000s when internet access started becoming widespread in the country. Most of the times, the rip-offs weren't that great - so I would just think it is funny when I'd find out that the bollywood song was plagiarizing another song. But there were times when the rip-offs were good (or maybe even built further on the originals) and they were classics in India. When I'd find out these were cases of plagiarism, that would break my heart. One example is a Bollywood song from 1980s called "Om Shanti Om" which is a rip off of a calypso song of the same name by Lord Shorty. Discovering that was a rip off was a strange feeling for me since I'd grown up in awe with that Bollywood song.
	2:05pm Shineman: So did chat
	2:11pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ WR @2:02 No problem! Glad you found it interesting. I have never watched the movie. I believe it is an unrealistic drama around a giant joint family that lives in the same house and is always happy. Not my kind of movie haha. The song was popular for a brief time when I was an elementary school kid in 1999 in India.
	👻 2:12pm Mr Fab: The internet gremlins seem to have left us...for now.
	2:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Get a Kick Out of You" by "Russ Garcia, his Voc... Love the vocal backup sounds (ooo-wah wha, Pow Pow Pow)
	👻 2:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Get a Kick Out of You" by "Russ Garcia, his Voc... sounds like they're saying "Ow, ow, ow." Like someones' kicking them.
	2:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Platform Swimfins" by "The Rick Potts Band" Piano has a Professor Longhair/N'awlins feel.
	2:15pm WR: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:11 thanks for some context. that may be enough. was mostly wondering if that was a fantasy sequence or what. Seems like it is a case of "or what".
	2:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:11 Watch a bit of it as well, quite silly (and a great beat).
	👻 2:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 Hmm, you're right. Tho these are folks from the Los Angeles Free Music Society.
	2:17pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 perhaps passing through N'awlins on the way to get a rhumba thing going.
	2:23pm Herbie: I had a gig with Kid Congo a couple of years ago. He puts on a good show.
	2:24pm Shineman: I grew up outside Chicago and one station would play your show for payment so all kind of shows and one was a hour of Bollywood videos can't remember the name though
	👻 2:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Herbie @2:23 That's awesome! He was just in town, only I found out about it after it happened of course.
	👻 2:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Shineman @2:24 "Namaste America"? We used to get that here in LA. I was a regular viewer.
	2:28pm Shineman: No the one I watched was in the late 60's early 70's Citraha or something similar
	2:28pm Shineman: Chitraha
	2:29pm Shineman: All on Indian
	2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Of Your Love" by "Ella Fitzgerald" I used to hate jazz singers covering rock tunes-have gotten to like them in my old age (I'm a big Ella fan).
	2:31pm Shineman: Her doing Savoy Truffle would change your mind
	2:31pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:28 It could have been Chitrahaar which was a very popular bollywood song clip show that aired Sunday mornings (in India) on India's national TV channel DD National. But I do not think that it aired in the 60s and 70s. I remember watching it as a kid with my parents in the 1990s.
	👻 2:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @2:30 you gotta approach it from a silly late-night party lounge perspective. Not as "legit" jazz. Then it's silly fun.
	2:33pm Shineman: That looks like it and was in India language
	2:35pm Herbie: As in "I wish my brother George was here"???
	👻 2:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Herbie @2:35 Yes! He was real. We've had Sinatra's son, and Liberace's brother today. Sorry, this lounge is on a budget. Can't afford the top stars.
	2:36pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:33 Yeah the program was in Hindi language, which is perhaps the most widely spoken Indian language (there are many regional languages in India). I am surprised it aired in the US. It is fascinating.
	2:37pm Shineman: Great sets Mr Fab
	2:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "George Liberace Mambo" by "George Liberace" Now THIS makes me smile...
	2:39pm Shineman: Ch. 26 was a trip
	2:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Superman" by "Mel Tormé" Actually developed a taste for Torme's singing, like it.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Superman" by "Mel Tormé" Also made me smile (fun show, really dug it Mr Fab, thanks)!
	2:42pm Shineman: Polka Party, cheap wrestling, every kind of ethnic groups had shows
	2:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 Yeah, I was more of a jazz snob then, loosened up a bit. (still a music snob).
	2:47pm Mr. Oxford: Thanks, Mr. Fab! This was fun! Thanks all in the chat!
	2:51pm Shineman: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:47 Thank you I have been wondering what the name of that show
	2:52pm Shineman: Thank you Mr Fab great show
	2:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:51 Here is a clip I found of the show from the 90s. It does not have any music unfortunately, just an interview with a famous lyricist. This is bringing memories for me too. I'm pretty sure I had a crush on the host. www.youtube.com...
	2:54pm Shineman: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:53 Thanks
	👻 2:55pm Mr Fab: Thank YOU all! Time to towel off. Start whenever you're ready, Herbie.
	2:56pm Herbie: I say... good show Mr. Fab!
	2:57pm Aitch: Good morning Mr Fab and gang
	2:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "New Frontier" by "Donald Fagen" Great tune! Thanks again!
	2:58pm WR: It has truly been Fab! Mr. Fab!
	3:00pm Feldy: Aw man, the Fab show is OVER!?
	👻 3:02pm Mr Fab: ↳ Feldy @3:00 Sorry Feldy, but nice of you to drop by.

	2:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:11 Watch a bit of it as well, quite silly (and a great beat).
	👻 2:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 Hmm, you're right. Tho these are folks from the Los Angeles Free Music Society.
	2:17pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 perhaps passing through N'awlins on the way to get a rhumba thing going.
	2:23pm Herbie: I had a gig with Kid Congo a couple of years ago. He puts on a good show.
	2:24pm Shineman: I grew up outside Chicago and one station would play your show for payment so all kind of shows and one was a hour of Bollywood videos can't remember the name though
	👻 2:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Herbie @2:23 That's awesome! He was just in town, only I found out about it after it happened of course.
	👻 2:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Shineman @2:24 "Namaste America"? We used to get that here in LA. I was a regular viewer.
	2:28pm Shineman: No the one I watched was in the late 60's early 70's Citraha or something similar
	2:28pm Shineman: Chitraha
	2:29pm Shineman: All on Indian
	2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Of Your Love" by "Ella Fitzgerald" I used to hate jazz singers covering rock tunes-have gotten to like them in my old age (I'm a big Ella fan).
	2:31pm Shineman: Her doing Savoy Truffle would change your mind
	2:31pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:28 It could have been Chitrahaar which was a very popular bollywood song clip show that aired Sunday mornings (in India) on India's national TV channel DD National. But I do not think that it aired in the 60s and 70s. I remember watching it as a kid with my parents in the 1990s.
	👻 2:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @2:30 you gotta approach it from a silly late-night party lounge perspective. Not as "legit" jazz. Then it's silly fun.
	2:33pm Shineman: That looks like it and was in India language
	2:35pm Herbie: As in "I wish my brother George was here"???
	👻 2:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Herbie @2:35 Yes! He was real. We've had Sinatra's son, and Liberace's brother today. Sorry, this lounge is on a budget. Can't afford the top stars.
	2:36pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:33 Yeah the program was in Hindi language, which is perhaps the most widely spoken Indian language (there are many regional languages in India). I am surprised it aired in the US. It is fascinating.
	2:37pm Shineman: Great sets Mr Fab
	2:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "George Liberace Mambo" by "George Liberace" Now THIS makes me smile...
	2:39pm Shineman: Ch. 26 was a trip
	2:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Superman" by "Mel Tormé" Actually developed a taste for Torme's singing, like it.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Superman" by "Mel Tormé" Also made me smile (fun show, really dug it Mr Fab, thanks)!
	2:42pm Shineman: Polka Party, cheap wrestling, every kind of ethnic groups had shows
	2:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr Fab @2:31 Yeah, I was more of a jazz snob then, loosened up a bit. (still a music snob).
	2:47pm Mr. Oxford: Thanks, Mr. Fab! This was fun! Thanks all in the chat!
	2:51pm Shineman: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:47 Thank you I have been wondering what the name of that show
	2:52pm Shineman: Thank you Mr Fab great show
	2:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Shineman @2:51 Here is a clip I found of the show from the 90s. It does not have any music unfortunately, just an interview with a famous lyricist. This is bringing memories for me too. I'm pretty sure I had a crush on the host. www.youtube.com...
	2:54pm Shineman: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:53 Thanks
	👻 2:55pm Mr Fab: Thank YOU all! Time to towel off. Start whenever you're ready, Herbie.
	2:56pm Herbie: I say... good show Mr. Fab!
	2:57pm Aitch: Good morning Mr Fab and gang
	2:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "New Frontier" by "Donald Fagen" Great tune! Thanks again!
	2:58pm WR: It has truly been Fab! Mr. Fab!
	3:00pm Feldy: Aw man, the Fab show is OVER!?
	👻 3:02pm Mr Fab: ↳ Feldy @3:00 Sorry Feldy, but nice of you to drop by.
