Hello, Righteous ones! welcome!

Yarrrr the dark stormy seazzzz

Oh wow, I feel like I CAN almost smell those lilacs! We had 2 big lilac bushes?, trees? on the side of the house where I grew up and in Spring I'd deeply inhale them while waiting for the bus.

Heyyyyyy Readie!!! OOPS ! The poem! :)

Had some nice walks in the past few weeks where the lilacs helped scent the way.

Hi Bri! ARRRRR thanks to our resident astronomer and poet, Alan!

Hi Bri ! Hi DSM !

I hope you don't mind, Alan!

Sorting out my Bandcamp Friday digi presents to meself... ooo "new" music to listen!

Hi DSM! yes, we had a large bush in our yard in Scranton as well. it's so lovely to smell the lilacs!

@ Readie: No, I didn't expect it though! Nice surprise as always on Recherche surprises!

Nice, Brian, maybe you will share news of your favorites!

There will always be lilacs, a coworker told me when I said I was going to miss the lilacs near where I was moving away from

Of course, Alan, thank you! I thought it appropriate after the membership drive!

And good evening everyone

We had lilac bush in Plumsteadville, but a harsh winter actually froze it out...

@Rob - a great thought! "There will always be lilacs!" sounds like the title of a poem I must say!

Hi Rob: Catbirds sighted in Philly...

@Readie, that's what our conversation devolved into

@Alan, hi. I'm glad they're back!

"There will always be lilacs" is very poetic indeed, sounds like a great work of literature

Hi everyone btw, happy friday!

@Alan, we had a catbird singing outside our back window an hour ago.

I can smell that photo. Beautiful lilacs! 💜

I admit, I would love to be able to recognize birds by their songs!

Hi Readie, Alan, Rob, Brian, DSM & everyone!

@ Rob: Catbirds are one of my favorite birds because of their disjointed song, but DJ Lizbot hates them ! :)

Hi Christine, Readie, Alan, DSM, and everyone

Hi Christine! Welcome! My favorite flower, the lilac! Here at the condo, I can't really have them, but where I go walking there are many!

I liked the poem by the mystery poet. 📜

Hi Christine! Soggy nights ahead..

@Alan, that is a good description of their song. I remember that Lizbot said that one of her catbirds had it in for her.

I am constantly mimicking the birds with an inward whistle. Get pretty close too. Have had some long back & forths.

@ Rob: Someone once told me that their song sounds like R2D2

@Christine, the poet is among us!

Hiding...

Happy birthday to Laetitia Sadier!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!

Addie, hello! You must keep us posted on the lilacs up north where you are!

Brian, do you really "talk" with the birds?! That's very cool!

@Alan, sometimes it does

Hi Addie! Weather map says that you're not getting clobbered by the rain we have here...

@Brian D, awesome! It would be great to go birding with you.

@alan, it’s a gorgeous day here, and all weekend supposed to be too.

Hi Addie 👋 Do you have two snakes now?

Will keep a close eye on those lilacs, @readie!

Hi Christine, I do!! Mr. slithers who is a “normal” ball python and Frodo, who is a banana morph BP. Both sweet boys!

@Addie - nice to know someone has the great weather! I'm afraid New Jersey's in for a soggy night and Saturday too...still...I love how green the grass is!

My kid was hogging the first snake so I had to get another 😬

"New Moon" would be great to play at the next Lunar Eclipse this month, The 20th I think...

@Thank you Addie! If I go to my brother's this weekend, I will see how that lilac bush at the old homestead is doing!

"banana morph" has a nice ring to it

I’m appreciating every moment of this weather. It was a loooong winter.

He’s lovely, @dsm! Wish I could share a pic here!

I googled and they are beautiful!

🥰🐍

OOPS! Correction, Lunar Eclipse May 15 just before midnight, just checked..

I also found this very amusing; The simplest way to produce a Banana Ball Python is to pair a Banana with a normal ball python. The resulting offspring will consist of 50% Banana and 50% Normal Ball Pythons. This pairing will not create any Super Banana.

No Super Banana!? Tragic!

lol

Not to be confused w/ GIN Blossoms - who were the "headliner" at RNR Philly HalfMarathon a bunch of years ago

What do you get when you cross Lizbot's Crimson bellied Canure with a Catbird?? >>> Two very "Crossed" birds...

Hi Randy! welcome!

Scrolling back: @alan - catbirds ate all my blueberries last year; they found a way inside the nets and had at it EmmerEffers

Hey Readie!!!

@ Randy: Yeah, Catbirds, the Good the Bad and the Ugly :)

.... BTW "Stray Birds" is a really nice track...

I think I may have seen them at Fest one year

Great vocals and not overdone..

@Alan, yes, I agree...tight vocals...I like that

"Wild Turkeys are Hobo Peacocks; Peacocks are Wild Turkeys in Drag" please share that - I'm trying to make it a thing

I’m adopting that immediately, Randy!

Surprisingly, I think I saw more wild turkeys in Philly and south Jersey than I see here in VT!

Neat he was on CBS Sunday Morning. I'll have to find that

I've been chased by both while running down here in South Jersey - between the two, they are equality stupid and mean

Wild turkeys attacked my car once in Yardley, PA, they don't like the color RED apparently

I heard that Wild turkeys can do some serious damage...

@ DSM I think most CBS Sunday Morning parts are on YouTube

Oh, they can both also fly

It is on youtube, Randy...an amazing performance!

Not high nor far, but well enough to steal a hat or take an eye out

this track is amazing in the 'phones

Nothing beats the boldness of the seagulls down the shore...

Alfred Hitchcock's "Seagulls VS Wild Turkeys" ...Coming soon to a theater near you...

Don't forget te turkey buzzards- I've seen quite a few recently feasting on carrion

I prefer to think of seagulls like Maude: “for me they will always be glorious birds”

Also this track is hypnotic!

.....All this "Turkey Talk" is making me hungry...

It's great as you approach the beach, smell the salt air and hear the cry of the seagulls

Seems I'm in an introspective mood tonight!

@ Addie: Joni Mitchell did a really fine song about Seagulls ..."Fly silly seabird, no dreams can possess you"...

JUANA ALL THE TIME!

Oh, I will check that out, @Alan!

I have to leave the chat; take care everybody! Thank you, Readie!✨

This Tacocat song is great!

Bye Christine!

Bye Christine! Thanks for stopping by!

That tacocat song was perfection

GBV GBV GBV GBV!!!!!

@Addie I love their line about the patriarchy hating to be laughed at...

L-R: Jim McPherson, Nate Farley, UNCLE BOB POLLARD, Tim Tobias, Doug Gillard. Circa 2001

WATERBOYS!!!!

"This Is The Sea" plays over closing credits of "Riding Giants" a MUST SEE for any surfer

Ooo, that bright guitar!

this is rather an anthem!

@Randy, I will need to check it out!

@Readie this song plays in my head during off-season walks on the beach, when it's blustery, grey, and empty

Mando mando mando!

That sounds inspirational, Randy!

Imagine walking there right now!

49 degrees and raining right now at Spring Lake

"The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea"

Mancunian content!

Ah, yes, @Randy

Indeed, Mancunian, Bri!

I hope some of our Pledge Drive money goes to adding a LIKE button to the chat LOL

@Randy, you can always add a thumbs up emoji!

👍

All right!!

LOL never thought of that!!! #imadumbass

👍..Also getting into the act...No Se !

I never see emojis so I thought we were text-only

@Randy, no you are not! we are all smart as whips in this lovely chat!

I can't do emojis from the computer unless on my phone...

Ahhh what an intro.... Long intros that work . DJs best friends!

@Brian, I don't talk up to the post very much on WPRB, but if I did, that is a good one...lol!

Blue Blue Electric Blue

Ya no need for that on WPRB. Ha.

Bee-Attle George!

Isn't that a lovely pic of him, too!

Remember going to Strwberry Fields in NYC when George passed- singing fab tunes and harmonizing with so many souls...paying tribute...

I can never tell when it's "Sound & Vision" or "Breaking Glass"

@ Readie: Yes, sometmes Black and White works best in photos...

Haha, @bri now I’m running through that whole bee-attle scene in my head.

Ye Jacobites By Name. Used to see Tempest play this every year or every other year at Philly Folk Fest!

👍 Seven Nations Great guitar

@Bri, YES! Tempest is one of my fave Fest shows...the dancing!

It’s off of RAM but forget the title

Long haired lady?

Now I'm picturing the Little Britain tv show sketch with David Walliams as the Scottish innkeeper

Oh my goodness. Haven’t thought of that sketch in a while.

YES! @DSM - Long Haired Lady lol I was channeling that - been listening to RAM in the car...what a great album!

I have to binge it again for the xth time. Keeps coming up in chat and I just saw an article where Rob Halford of Judas Priest quoted it (Matt as Daffyd in the Welsh pub sketch).

👍 Overcoats = also Lizbot music

Nice! @Readie you got Lindas inflections really well on that part. Love that album too, great to drive to

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRReadie💥💥💥

JimBEAUXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!

@Alan - it's amazing how much Lizbot and I share tastes in music!

@ Readie: I caught part of her show yesterday, she played Jean Michel Jarre Equinox , I thought I Have that in vinyl, gotta dig that out...

Yes, @Alan, I was all prepped for tonight and I stopped by her chat last night

I rarely get the opportunity!

It was a fun show last night!

Readie: I remember you doing a fundraiser on her show 10 years???back??

Bang bang

@readie @lizbot (cuz you KNOW she's lurking) that why we're here at WPRB - sharing, learning, discovering

Hi TAndy!
