Welcome, righteous ones! Let the festive weekend begin!!!!

Heya Readie!

Hey! R-Stomp!! first in tonight! how are ya?

International wonders appearing all over the airwaves at WPRB. Lovin' it!

I feel like it's summer solstice instead of winter!

IKR?

Cool! Had to slip in some Sahel sounds to start off!

I wore a wind breaker today! WTF?

yeah! It'a 52 degrees right now!

Wonderful start to the show, Readie!! I will be rocking with the memory of this Sahel beat my whole bike ride home

Awesome, Brian! Safe ride!

Welcome back! Good to "see" ya!

Be safe Brian. We need more Sci content. IMHO.

Sci-Bri!!!

Nice one!

Agree with y'all, feels like spring out there. Has me all energized! Hey Readie! Roffle! Cracking the ceremonious 5 o'clock Friday beer and pondering dinner options. Also, thanks for the knowledge drop Brian!

Yeah! Hey, DSM! Welcome!

Thanks Readie! Excited for some unusual xmas jams.

Yeah some doo-wop comin' up, mambo and WHAT NOT

Totally down with WHAT NOT. That would be an awesome record label name!

I agree, Roffle...

Cheers DSM, Beer:30 has arrived!

Cheers and WHAT NOT Rofflestomp!

You know it, Sir Duke was the MAN

"There are only two kinds of music, good and bad." - Duke Ellington

He called it well., and what craft!

And Teddy, help us get thru another COVID winter!!

Good Evening Readie and fellow chatters! Great start so far RR.

I would much rather be inside because of the cold, but whatcha gonna do?

Hey y’all, happy Friday!

Thx, CL - happy to have you on board tonight!!!

Addie! yep indeedy! Addie in the house!

Addie, our SUGAR plum???

Heya's. Addie , please tell us it snowing somewhere normal.

Sure, I can moonlight!

Not yet Roffle, but tomorrow it’s supposed to!

Hey Addie, Happy Friday to you !

Heya CL!

I am gonna start investing in ice and water vending machines. Hope I'm not behind the curve.

Minor-Key Christmas Medley... Cool

Chilly isss cool!

There is a "ice" machine graveyard I pass time to time in west PHL. Just a block with several machines rotting away.

I know that block, loon!

Wow, CL, that sounds like a good photo op...

I am in the University area, but a stones throw and I've never seen it.

Love seeing them machines Addie, My all time favorite in Ripton, VT at the general store has a miss spelled one "IEC". I always wondered if it was intentional.Either way its great.

It is RR, made the photo a few times.

North 42nd I believe, roffle

Cool, CL!

Thanks Addie! I'll check that out.

I don't go north of Market St. much.

Prime YOKO!

That Yoko scream is so instantly recognizable!

Yes, early Yoko

I just had double check on maps, Addie you where right on 42nd at Wallace.

I wanna set a Yoko scream as my ringtone

She had a rough custody battle with her ex over her daughter, Kyoko...this is the primo venting...

@DSM - Oh hell yes!!!

I used to drive through that neighborhood a lot, roffle and loon. On my way to germantown. There used to be someone who lived right by the ice machines that had a super gnarly dragon airbrushed on their truck.

Gotta love a WP truck dragon. The older gentleman lounging in the street view is priceless.

@Addie - Gonna take an ebike ride on Sunday and check it out. I will look for the dragon truck!

We wouldn't blame you if you ran out to get your candy cane, Readie!

Hit em' back with a little air horn RR!

OMG, I sleep thru Santa's sleigh practice runs all year on Spruce St. it seems.

Nice pic of Teddy

Audio-visual over stim. I get that.

Good evening everyone 💎💎💎💎💎💎

Hey! that was epic...Hi Li Maria!!!

Rob! Hello!

Addie Plum, hello! How's the weather in Vermont?

Hey Rob!!! how goes it?

Snow tomorrow and Sunday, and it’s about time too!

Hey Rob, Good Evening to you !

Hi Readie! Well, my work computer had an issue for the third day running, Grrr. Fortunately support was able to (hopefully) finally resolve it

But hey it's the weekend

Addie, we may get 1/10 inch of rain overnight

Hi Coastal.Loon!

Hey Rob, support is a matter of who support needs to call.

Yeah, Rob, I'm constantly having computer issues at work....IT wants to update the OS, good luck with that!

This is such a nice harmonic tune from Mike Nesmith!

RIP

That's a server push... arg!

Roffle, not really in this case, for me at least. Everything should be hunky dory (famous last words)

Readie, yikes. For me it wasn't the OS, or the log4j thing, but more like plugging something into a different port (after the un/re-install didn't hold)

@Rob - I hope so. Good luck.

Best of luck, Rob, my issue isn't the OS, I know that, but maybe it will help...or make it worse. I'm sure it's a network issue.

I almost forgot to tell my exciting news of the week: we adopted a ball python! I have become an insufferable snake lady overnight.

Andy and Holly Partridge (in a pear tree)- so Andy!

Thanks Readie & Roffle. I was always able to access by an alternate method 90% of things I needed to while I was having problems, and the 10% wasn't absolutely essential for the short interval I couldn't get it

Congrats, Addie, the snake lady!

🐍🐍🐍🐍

Snakes!

His name is Mr. Slithers

@Addie - Well we know who you were rooting for at Hogsworth!

Shhhhh!

This EBTG song is poignant

Ikr, Rob?

Readie, my wife was tearing up

Awww, Rob, how sweet! Love that she is listening too!

The power of music....love love love!

I love this set.

yes yes, love Bjork !

"Light-bearer receiving radiance!"

I’ve somehow never heard this bjork song? It’s gorgeous.

The vessel must be filled from somewhere.

Once again the sun will fill us.

There's a light in the stable

or so sang Emmylou Harris, I think

Light in the unstable, but that's just me.

lol roffle!

I like this English style sometimes. Makes me want to chase the fairy folk.

Tree Henge photo. cool

So good.

Hey DubNP!

Hey that’s a Colorado Christmas tree.

Oh, of course, CM!!

Happy Friday

Thanks, Dub! It's a beautifooool night!

Indeed.

a natty Ismas to all!

Getting in mood now. Going to light that tree up!

SPARK IT UP, CM!

Don’t have to ask me twice!

This I know!

Love-a one another!!

Shake your body-line!

Triumphantly

All I want for Ismas. Awesome

these songs of freedom!

hand on our hearts!

Wow. Lucky you!

I think how many times we have passed up seeing Willie Nelson, Dylan. To see James Brown ! Sinatra in AC was an easy ticket. Imagen?

CM, that concert was magical... JB was magnificent...

Caught Dylan too, back in the 90's...I was in awe...

Thanks Readie! Peace! Til next time...

Great show as always, Readie!

G’night readie, thanks for another good show!

Thanks, DSM! Pethie, Addie! Love you all!

Thanks for some great listening tonight RR! Peace to all, Be well !

Thanks, CL!

Nilllllllllsssssooooonnnnnnnn

Sweet holidays Readie! Cool show, thanks!

Have the happiest holiday ever!

Thanks, Roffle!

Thank you, CL!

Man, this is a good song. Thanks for the tunes. Christmas is OK!

Peace and Love to all!
