Listener comments!
	10:05pm geezerette: Hatchets!? Can we just watch ?
	10:05pm Jeff Ash: Reporting for duty from Wisconsin.
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: I will not plead the 5th.
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Howdy doodies! On the air!
	10:08pm geezerette: well,it's got a good beat, and you can dance to it.
	10:09pm still b/p: Pass de hatchet on de left hand side.
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I need one of those Seven B t-shirts.
	10:10pm geezerette: ha ha.:)
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: I used to have homemade one. Gotta make a new one
	10:10pm Doug Schulkind: Nothing bad ever happens with a Seven B on a wheel of steel.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: You speak the truth
	10:27pm Doug Schulkind: I included Anderson's "I Won't Cry (I'll Just Laugh Myself to Death)" on a past FMU marathon premium!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: Know anything about him?
	10:33pm Doug Schulkind: Nope.
	10:34pm Doug Schulkind: Sir Shambling has a few nuggets: www.sirshambling.com...
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Always a great source of info
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: man, I haven't thought about that site in years.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: I'm there at least once a week, mainly for info on funky/soul sides by deep soul artists
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Freehold NJ's own Motifs, played with the proto-Boss back in the day
	10:41pm Doug Schulkind: I head over to Sir Shambling's place to verify recording dates. Then I stay and swoon.
	10:45pm Uncle Michael: This is my secretly favorite Kinks song. I may have played it on my first show.
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: Cool!
	10:47pm Uncle Michael: Four times...but the first time was on my fourth show or so.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: I mean, if I were to name my favorite, it would probably be something else...but I seem to be drawn back to this time and time again.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: The funky shuffle slays me.
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: Blue Things from my neck of the woods, by the way.
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: Frank pronounced it RE-PREEZ, accenting both syllables.
	10:55pm Jeff Ash: And I thank you, sir.
	10:55pm Uncle Michael: Condolences, Jeff.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: Don't forget Newbury's train songs.
	10:57pm Dean: I have precisely one Kinks album, not counting the complete series of digital files--which really aren't records by my lights--and it's not among their best. It's Sleepwalker, because I think "Life on the Road" is one of THE BEST pop tunes ever. But my avoidance of Kinks records is a function of intimidation. I grew up with their music. I can't imagine not having heard it. It's so solidly, brilliantly, sublimely (by no means ridiculously) executed that I can't even begin to approach it.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: I came late to the Kinks myself. Well worth a deep exploration
	10:58pm Uncle Michael: Don't be no 'fraid.
	11:03pm Doug Schulkind: Sheila B of WFMU's Sophisticated Boom Boom just told a nice story about spinning that Maggie Thrett tune at a live DJ gig.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: I think she met up with one of the cats from De La Soul
	11:04pm Uncle Michael: She did, that was cool. Someone else told her who he was. Then she got a picture with him...Mase.
	11:12pm Cubs Win: Yass...
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Sly and the Family Stone were so goddamned badass.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: Yes, but Michael Shrieve was still the coolest person at Woodstock.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: No doubt. He popped up in the comments to an old Iron Leg post about a high school band he knew (wasn't in).
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: I dunno, might have to revise that for Larry Graham
	11:16pm Uncle Michael: Shrieve posted? Coolness.
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. I'll send you the link sometime. It has something north of 100 comments
	11:17pm Anchovy Paste: Such great sounds!
	11:17pm Uncle Michael: Shrieve's work on Soul Sacrifice is the best thing from Woodstock.
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: That performance brings me to tears every single time
	11:18pm Uncle Michael: But Larry Graham is pretty badass.
	11:23pm Dean: Yeah, but Shrieve was in Journey, a huge demerit. Then again, Stomu Yamashta's Go was solid.
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: Ronald Isley is currently my all time favorite singer. That changes from time to time.
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: So much great Isley's stuff, all eras of their career.
	11:28pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, after little Ernie grows up, he fucking kills me.
	11:29pm Doug Schulkind: If I may paraphrase Dizzy Dean here: This radio show has testificular fortitude.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: This 45 is brilliant, and thanks!
	11:34pm Sandy Baby: Larry is doing to radio what Montana Republicans do to journalists.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: I don't wanna hurt nobody...
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: But I might go a tiny bit long tonight.
	11:42pm Uncle Michael: That would be great! I'm about to pack up my keyboard but not my speakers.
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Coolsville
	11:43pm Uncle Michael: I collect airchecks. Let me tell you soul airchecks are rare.
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: This is one of the greatest
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Soul Sound Sonny Make No Mistake-a Jake-a!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: The Geater with the Heater!
	11:48pm Uncle Michael: Jerry Blavat as a DJ, wasn't he?
	11:49pm Uncle Michael: I mean the Georgie Woods trck...he was a DJ?
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: He was indeed! One of the greatest in Philly in the 60s and 70s. Georgie was too.
	11:51pm Uncle Michael: We need Mr. C here to expound on Georgie.
	11:51pm Uncle Michael: Or jerry, rather...d'oh!
	11:52pm Uncle Michael: Alrighty...g'night folks. Thanks, Larry!
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, as always!
	12:07am Doug Schulkind: Sizzzling show. With an extra z for extra zizzle!
	12:07am Funky16Corners: That, as they say, is all, folks. See you all next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel.
	12:07am Funky16Corners: Thanks Doug!
	12:08am still b/p: Really enjoyed, thanks!
	12:08am Funky16Corners: Thank you!
