	10:12pm Funky16Corners: Hello Jenny!
	10:13pm cupcakejenny: Did you do that thing you had to do with the bathing suits?
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: I did indeed. I was unaware we'd be discussing laundry here on the chat.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: I'll bring it all up when I'm done
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Yowza.
	10:15pm cupcakejenny:
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey everybody! Are YOU all caught up on your wash?
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Unk!
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: You gots to wash yo' ASS.
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: I did not order the new release by "The Imposter," a cover of "American Tune".
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: What would that be?
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: This... www.discogs.com...
	10:24pm Uncle Michael: And Redd Foxx and I apologize for working blue.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: That's OK. It's after 10.
	10:25pm Dean: Not here it ain't, ffs.
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: The flip to S&G's Fakin' It is so good.
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: I don't have that 45. I'll have to grab it.
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: I think Bob Brainen or someone played it on their show recently. I'd never heard it: "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies"
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: I'm not familiar with it.
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: I played a cover of it on my show once, by Dana Valery. I didn't know it was a Simon song.
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Matt M was the last to play the S&G version.
	10:40pm Jeff Ash: Thank you for not playing the dreadful Sinatra cover of Mrs. Robinson.
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: You're quite welcome...dooby doob doo
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: And hello, Jeff!
	10:41pm Uncle Michael: Mrs. Robinson more covered than Bridge Over Troubled Water? I honestly don't know.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: In my collection by far, but out in the world, maybe not
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: And on the whole, I'd much rather hear a day long arathon of Mrs Robinson, as opposed to a bunch of faux gospelized Bridges
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: I'm just glad Elvis lived long enough to give BOTW the karate moves it cried out for.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: MARATHON
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: Butt it up against American Trilogy
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: LOOK AWAYYYYYYYYYYY
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: DIXXAYYYYYYYY
	10:49pm Uncle Michael: Travel day tomorrow...I'm pulling the plug on today. Thanks, Larry. Night, all.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Nite Mike!
	11:08pm cupcakejenny: ❤️
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: You just can't live in Texas if you don't have a lot of soul....
	11:42pm cupcakejenny: This is a pretty version of both sides now
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Dave Van Ronk
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Probably my favorite version
	11:44pm cupcakejenny: It's almost sadder than the original
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: I think his version came out before Joni's
	11:45pm northguineahills: Haven't said howdy yet. I have some old Tintern Abbey stuff, but I wonder what the genesis of their name is, as there was a nice shoegaze band in my area in college (mid 90s) w/ the same name.
	11:46pm Funky16Corners: It's an actual, medieval cathedral in the UK
	11:46pm cupcakejenny: I knew if I said original I'd be wrong lol
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Joni wrote it but a lot of her songs were getting around on publisher's demos and getting covered early. Fairport Convention did a couple of her songs early on
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: It was also a poem by Wordsworth
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Goodnight all!
