Greetings Righteous ones! Welcome to Recherché!

Heya Readie! Good to have you back. Hope your party was fun!

Hi Readoe!!! First in to say hi.....

HELLO Readie!

@ Addie!! Ya beat me by a nanosecond HI!

Hi Alan and Ambrose!

Hey Alan! Hi Addie! Welcome, Bo!!!! Nice to see you! I had fun last week, celebrating with my good friends! Happy to be with you this week!!

....and Addie, first time on Recherche with your "new" hair...cool!!

Lovely hair, I must say!

@ Readie: ...and you're next !!

....except an "Irish" green :)

Thanks folks!

Oh that's funny, Alan! Irish green, eh? Hmmmm... I may have some pink / purple color somewhere in the cabinet...

Hello all and sundry

Hi Rob! How's Maryland?

Hi Readie! Maryland is partly sunny and dry, for once

I hear you! It's been rather soggy here this week!

@ Readie: this One Sparks track real good to shake off 2 weeks!

Glad to hear, Alan! It's a new day!!

We can "blow" our cares away!

Readie: so your last week's celebration Involved....what?..or wait for the mike break???

Perfect! I had some majorly cantankerous callers this week I def need to shake off.

Everyone should get ready to do some interpretive dancing later on this evening....I hope y'all are in the mood....

Ooo, yes!

... I'll change my shoes..

Good Addie! You've come to the right place!! Cantankerosity- BEGONE!!!

Of course, we could start early with this tune.... rather robust interpretive movement called for here... I'm easing on into it....

Take your time! I’m still eating dinner. Hope y’all had something good!

The celebrations were great, friends, flowers, some mild imbibers and good food...various and sundry colleagues had me out for lunch, dinner, breakfast, cake, balloon action, it was special!

Like, hot air balloons?

By the way, tonight I had fish sticks and fries...rather low imagination tonight!

Oh, not hot air balloons, Addie, that's funny...helium only, I'm afraid...

Hiya Readie! Good evening all. Lol, Sparks is such a hot button word around here at times. :)

Hi Roffle! How so?

People love Sparks!

Hey Readie, glad your back on the air waves! Hello Addie, Alan, and Rob!

Oh, I see! That's good then!! Cool beans

Yea, it's quite cool indeed.

@Readie, had that last night, made my own chips though😊

Hello Coastal.Loon!

And hi everyone else

Heya roffle and loon!

Hey, Bo, very industrious! I bet it was delish!

Hi CL!!!!

Hi Addie! Is it Spring up there yet?

It finally is! No greenery yet but it’s rainy and 50 degrees and I’ll take that!

@Addie - :) good deal!

Bird songs of the Cenozoic

@Readie, well, I do luvs me spudz😍

Ida sounds good, but subtitles make me nutz. I just feel like I am missing the cinematic so I can follow the story line. Arg...

@Readie, as a young aspiring mod, I had a Troggs Album I practically wore the needle blunt on my poor mother's record player listening to I think the song was, After The Rain The Sun Shines, meant a lot then, means a lot now.

I love spuds too, Bo, big time! It must be the Irish in me!!!

Oh wow, that sounds like a good one - I will def find that and play it next week!

@Roffle I hear you, I just bear with it because I love to hear the actual language as well, but then, I am a language fanatic!

@Readie - Understood. I have logged countless hours watching foreign films. I love them, but I am not the worlds best speed reader, and I so love nuance!

Same, Readie! I love having to use an interpreter for calls at work. It’s so interesting to hear.

Troggs and spudz. Troggs and spudz!😜

Hey Bo- here ya go!

I came across a Spanish TV show of Pearl harbor....there was this Japanese actor saluting a general, no subtitles, but he "said" ..." Si Senor"....!!

First time I'm hearing this Troggs!

Nice Rickenbacher action

@Alan - I know someone who is up early to catch the morning planets!

@Addie, that's so cool, you have international calls?

I bought a couple of Chinese Rickenbacher pickup knockoffs to put in a Washburn guitar I got at a flea market. ::)

@ Rofflestomp: Yes, lots of big planet conjunctions in the sky in the early morning, but bad horizon here in Philly....

@Alan - might get better soon hopefully.

@readie we have a big Nepali population in VT And I work for the big hospital so I often have interpreted calls!

Speacking Rick sounding tune.. :)

@Readie, thank you!👍

Speaking*

You got it, Bo! I was able to find it and preview in a flash!

@Roffle, my second guitar was a "Rick" like the one Susanna Hoffa played, ( I had a crush).

@Ambrose - She could make Kmart guitar look good. :)

*Hoffs*

Stupid damn spell check!😖

Woah, good evening everyone

Hiya TAndy!

TA all the way!

@Rofflestomp, she could and did I'm sure!

@Ambrose - I think you are spot on. I dunno, but I would place that bet.

Prince 💜💜💜💜

Hi Tandy!! Welcome!

Whew! I need a fan.

Here comes the solo....oh man

@Readie, last Friday would've been Ronnie Lane's birthday btw, Small Faces and such,

Oh wow, Bo, I missed that ! Happy belated to Ronnie!!! COOL!

Love them, read Happy Boys Happy if you can.

That Prince track just evokes soooo much emotion...Wow!

A Catholic Jew? Sounds like half my family.

Oh yes, so true

I mean about Prince,,,

lol

... I wish there was a video of Maria!!

There might be a vid out there somewhere, Alan...

Karin is very expressive!

I have had to use a Karin interpreter!

@Addie, sounds like an interesting job you have!

It can be for sure. I hear a lot weird stuff.

Those songs made me feel like I was in a Polish disco in the 60's

Polish spelling looks like an Eye Chart

Karin's are a hidden cost that is endlessly wanting to talk to a manager.

Sounds like we're taking a bit of a musical trip around the continent

I feel so fancy

Oh hello, Danosaur!

Hi Danosaur! Fancy, indeed!

Hi Readie and Addie!

I'm guessing this isn't Polish?😜

Adult continent advisory.

This right here is not Polish, no, you are CORRECT sir!

Keeping y'all on your toes tonight!

"Lightning" track is Just what the doctor ordered for this evening....Thank You...

@Alan...nice! I programmed this in during a pretty severe thunderstorm last night!

I’m with you Alan. It’s a good vibe

Brian!... YES!

I'm prepared to be cajoled

I’m sure Brian stepped off a boat moments before recording this, given his many boat-themed songs

Eyyyyyyyyyyyy. Big ups everyone. Big up Recherchè

HEY LIZBOT!

39 is time travel....

Big ups sunny day

HEY READ!

Yeah!!!!

Hi Guelo!!

Happy Retirement / Sunny Day!

LOVE YA! THANKS

💖

This is perfection!

I wanna be at Brian’s Tenerife campfire singalong

And yes...

Hiya Liz! BTW old stars are basically our ancestors. Glad they left us a photo.

Fripp is kinda semi-singing/semi-squawking to this

What a gem!

For Brian May’s hair is fluffy & gray 🎶

Hi Rofflestomp!

Live long Dr. Brian May!!!

Hi Zapshifter!!!

Awwww, yiss!

I will don my unitard for the interpretive dance portion of the show

Haha, I just shouted “YES” and Fripp scuttled away 🦜

I’ve got my scarves!

I've got my ribbon on a stick

That was cool Dr. May!

@addie - By “scarves,” I assume you mean sneks draped around ur neck

YEAH, Addie!!! Perfect!

COME BACK FRIPP!

Flashback to Spectrum in 78 …seeing them in the round..the things we do for friends!!

I was there, Carlos! SPECTRUM!!

Have not seen Yes since the Spectrum days in the round.

Saw them at least twice or thrice

....The well rested Readie sure puts on one helluva show! :)

Hey! Alan - thanks man!

Maybe Fripp’s sore that Bruford left Crimson to play with Yes

HAHA! good one, Liz!!!

Though he played in Yes first…so Fripp’s just being difficult, like his namesake!

@Liz Bot - But he came back!

At least Nuala is borking along to Starship Trooper between chomping mouthfuls of dirt

oh yeah!!!

Dang this is really getting me in my nostalgia right now

@Roffle - You can always lure him back with a good millet sandwich 🎸 🦜

and here we go again....

yummy yummy

Saw KC at the Tower years ago with Bruford. Friggin' excellent!

Awesome, Roffle!

Too bad I couldn’t take that “Cruise to the Edge” cruise with Steve Howe back in 2020!

Love Fripps and Toyahs cover songs on you tube

One of the only things that could possibly convince me to step onto a cruise ship!

Carlos, Toyah's a trip isn't she?

Hi Carlos! The dynamic duo! I LOVE toyah’s costumes and dancing and Fripp’s sly smile and goofy haircuts!

@Carlos & @Read - Did you see when they dressed like loafy bees and ran all over their garden?? 🐝 🐝

Oh, I missed that one!

Fripp’s all hype cuz I fed him pomegranate an hour ago. Sugar rush

@Liz Bot - IKR? It's always time for drumming? Tools of the trade!

"Time"

Yeah!

BTW Readie, we had an excellent turnout at The Franklin Institute Observatory last Friday, and a very enthusiastic crowd..

Wonderful, Alan, I'm very pleased !!!! COOL!

Steve Howe just makes this work so well!

So dizzy from the twirling but can't stop

I did not know how much I needed to hear YES tonight

and many happy returns of the day to him!!!

@Roffle - Did you see the Mann show in the fall? Not as good as the KC show at the Met for their 50th in 2019, but still great

I'm just sitting here with the biggest smile on my face listening to this

It's a sneaky thing, Addie, right?!?!?!

Bring it home, boyzzzz!

@addie - yeah, for real.@ Read, this is sorta making my night right now. Making it feel like a Friday night!

These live Yes recordings are always so great. One of the few

Thx, Lizbot, awesome to see ya here!!!

One of the few bands where you KNOW the live recordings are worthwhile and then some

....his voice brings back memories of spending hours at the drafting table in college...

thanks for the cosmic vibes, readie!

@Liz Bot - No, I thought about it, but not willing to go to a crowded theater yet. Still on the fence.

@Read - Yeha, usually I’m sucking into Hattie’s Friday night movie-watching ritual, but she’s talking George’s ear off instead right now

Thanks for the show today Readie! Always a fun time 😁

Perfect note to end on.

I have been to one Jon Anderson solo show at the TLA where he just did all Yes songs. ALMOST saw them in Jersey about 15 years ago and then had a change of plans

Readie: I don't know how you're going to top this show next week, but you probably will!! Thanks, and wishing you all PEACE!

OMG SLO! I lived there! Where the fuck did they pley?

Play*

@Liz…he’ll with music. Let’s talk pomegranates..love the domestics. Size of softballs…imports. Not so much. Size of baseballs

Ohhhhh, the both of us will get up to some SERIOUS shenanigans come Membership Drive!!

I missed you Readie but then again I wasn't aiming for you!

@Carlos - pomegranates the size of baseballs = my parrot’s dreams

Oh shit Readie is gone! Too short!

LOL they cut me offf- haha anyway,,,PEACE, thanks y'all righteous peeps for being here!!!

Love Ya Readie, see ya there again.

bye bye!!!
