Welcome to the Recherché chat, my friends...time to chill and gently sway....ahhhhhh!

Heya Readie, happy Friday!

Hey Addie! Thx, happy Friday to you too!

Has it been a lucky Friday the 13th for you?

Hi Readie ! Addie!!! Been one Helluva week, but time to Shake..It...Off!!!

Hi Alan! You;ve come to the right place!

...Usually it's not Friday the 13th that gives me trouble, but Monday the 13th..Go figure...

Amid all the rain, we'll think ahead to sunny days and ocean breezes!

A good friend of mine is vacationing in Cancun...as we speak...

Oh, hmmm, Monday the 13th? Well, I guess Mondays in general aren't the best...

It’s been an ok Friday the 13th actually!

Cancun- I am imagining I am somewhere like that rn...tropical breezes....

Might actually get to go swimming tomorrow too!

It’s super hot here right now.

So Readie, I'm looking forward to the Latino theme this warm evening..

This is perfect music for the weather here for sure, Alan!

Good! we are "lucky" to be all together again! Really? Hot ? It's 67 degrees here,,,but cloudy with rain later and maybe Saturday...but it's just fine

Addie: So how "Warm" is it where you are???

It was almost 90 today!

O my - sweltering!

We’re having a little heat wave

90 ???? Wow, Mr. Slithers must be all energized! Watch he doesn't escape Addie!

Alan, my newer snake, Frodo, did escape last night! Luckily he knocked something over and I woke up to find him on top of his tank.

Readie: that Antonio Carlos track reminded me of "Brazil 66", and I remember Herb Alpert did this "Desifinado" track.

...Man do I Love Latino music!

Yes, much coming from Jobim tonight - I'm glad you like it, Alan!

It helps me to recalibrate!

Sunday may be a good day around NJ to go down the shore...

This music is such a good vibe

Ahhhh, yess.

Have you heard about the black hole Sagittarius A*? I saw an article in the Times....cool stuff!

Readie: Sgr.A* has been in the news for quite a few years.. A Black Hole having about 4 million times the mass of our Sun

4 million times!!

.. They have actually made a video of the stars in a super fast orbit around seemingly Nothing, Black!!

That's pretty heavy, 4 million times!

Wow!

Hi Rob!

Yes, and the astro-physicists were excited to talk about it today at the news conference I saw... cool how they put together the different images!

Hi Addie and everyone!

Hi Rob! good to see you!

Hi Rob! You ain't seen nothin' yet, M87 a galaxy in Virgo has a 2 BILLION mass Black Hole!!

... It's roughly the size of our Solar System.

Yes, but Sag A* is in our very own galaxy!

Hey Readie! Hey gang !!!

Hi Randy!

Welcome Randy!

Check out "United Kingdom of Ipanema" by Andy Summers & Roberto Menescal

whoa, i can't hold a candle to that dancing lady with the feathers!

oh you can't go wrong with this track!

Austin...Powers!!

I feel like dancing around like Austin Powers!

I'll have a Long Island Ming Tea please

Hi Randy!

@Addie, I imagine she had better stay away from the candles tonight!!!! ;)

she's most definitely not flame retardant!

La serpiente for Frodo & Mr. Slithers!

Snake approved!

There had better be some David Byrne showing up in here someplace

Oh yes!

👍👍👍👍

Randy, do you have a David Byrne request?

There is Beleza Tropical coming, of course!

To be fair Cowboy Mambo was the first thing I thought of,but wrong style LOL

Lazy is kinda bossa?

...Any "Culpa de la Bassanova" coming up??

As a hardcore punk bass player I have ZERO sense of rhythm LOL

@Alan, You mean, blame it on the bossa nova? lol!

@Randy...LOL!

I could have done 2 shows at least on Bossa...maybe later this summer!

Readie: I wrote some lyrics to that tune "Blame it on the Stupid Comet"

Oh, well, @Alan, you need to share a bit of that....

Being a Runner, I will admit that I once wrote lyrics to "Chariots of Fire"

oh boy, i've never written lyrics to anything, luckily for you folks!

@Randy...that sounds awesome...you talented people should share!

The chariots of fire theme - we run on the beach- in funny white shorts - and no shoes on our feet

I once wrote a parody of Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

You should make a Youtube of these gems Randy and Alan!

The comet song is kind of lengthy, so I just sent you an email...

@Alan...cool

In ancient times Comets were supposed to be harbingers of doom....

Well, that ship is sailing still...lol

seems like a reasonable assumption when you have no way of knowing if they're on a collision course with earth or not!

I was out one Night, And was full of Fright, Looking through my Scope, Was a scary Sight, In the eyepiece Loomed, Certain sudden Doom, When all at once I knew just what to Do:

Comet = Bouncing Souls

Blame it on the Stupid Comet, We knew so Well, Blame it on the Stupid Comet, From the Gates of Hell,

Blame it on the Stupid Comet What the Heck, You can download every image From the Keck, Blame it on the Stupid Comet, Hale Bopp's the One.

Hello Readie hello fellow chatters!! Hope everyone is well this evening!

hello CL!

good to see you!

Hi Coastal! Welcome to the chat where Bossanova can start a conversation about comets...only on WPRB.

Greetings Addie and Alan!

Addie what's Green Mountain weather looking like as of late ?

surprisingly hot! nearly 90 today, yesterday i think over 90. but i'm excited to hit the swimming holes soon!

GEEEZ! Thats cooking already, I was just walking across frozen lakes up there, only what seemed like a couple months ago.

CL! Hey there!! Hiya!

i know, it's hopefully just a brief wave. i think it should be more normal next week.

That certainly seems very unseasonal for this time of year. Certainly do love a good swimming hole.

Heya Readie, sorry I'm late, glad I was able to make it home and get the air waves coming in.

@ Readie Righteous (host) Lovin' the sunshine of your samba set! Did you know that Astrud Gilberto's vocals on the album Getz/Gilberto -- notably of course those for the mega international hit "The Girl from Ipanema" -- represented her first professional recording sessions?! But she'd had much experience singing prior to going into the studio for the first time.

Hey, CL! No problemo! you are welcome all the time!!

OOps, I'm old enough to remember when this fab tune came out '66....

Mas que nada = better than nothin'

@Richard - thanks for stopping by...I suspected Astrud was new to the scene then, but her innocence and unadorned clarity was so refreshing!!

Good evening everyone :) Bossa Nova, lovely tmusicc to tune into 🥰

Are there any Bossa songs about Pele? I know a play-by-play of Socrates is sampled in a Big Audio Dynamite track

And here is some Franco-Brasilien pour tous!

TAndy! welcome to the bossa nova party!

@Randy - that's sounds like a research opportunity...I wouldn't be surprised...

TAndy, glad you like it!

Hey first time hear Brass this eve, on Didier

Was it hot today? It still feels cool in my place somehow.

hi TAndy!

Guess who?

Hello Addie 😁

Hi Tandy! Hot in Vermont, warm in Philly, if you feel cold you must be in Florida :)

@ Readie Righteous (host) Your observation that Astrud's "innocence and unadorned clarity was so refreshing!!" is totally spot-on, Readie. It makes me realize: If she'd tried to be breathy and sultry with that vocal, the result wouldn't have been 1/100th as sensual and alluring as it is ... for all time!

hmmm, sounds super familiar!

@Richard! agree! Love it when you come into the chat...!

i wanna say Amy Winehouse

ADDIE wins a cookie!! spot on Addie! Good ears!

oh wow, pulled that right out of thin air!

3 cookies, ya forgot the snakes..

one cookie, two, er, fuzzy cookies

@ Readie Righteous (host) Aww, shucks! I'm grateful there IS a chat, here and across WPRB-landia, and Hosts like you!

Yes, there were Amy elements in there...a discerning ear can tell...congrats Addie!

Thanks, Richard, chatters like you add an extra element to our convo! Thanks for that!

@Richard the only Rocky Hill I know if is in CT

Love it Addie, "Fuzzy cookies" :)

Fuzzy cookies = coconut macaroons

MMM, @Randy, I just ran out of coconut macaroons! must add to my list...

I took so much shit from a baker one time because macaROONS =/= macaRONS

....this a real chillin' tune...

Macaroons (esp. Boardwalk Macaroons) SO > Macarons

love a good chocolate dipped macaroon! can't seem to find any decent ones in VT. miss the jewish deli ones!

mmmm, I am def getting hungry rn!

...main course before dessert Readie :)

My goodness I am loving this

@Alan, sometimes I eat dessert first...ah...prerogativos!

@TAndy - so glad you like!

yes, you definitely should do a part two sometime, Readie!

Is it just me, or does most of this Latino music have a very strong beat, but in a very subtle way???

whatever this is, i love it already!

@Addie, Yes, I will do a Bossa Part 2 later this summer!

Totally I need to save this playlist on YouTube when I need a quick bossa nova fix

@Alan - you nailed it!

The Amanda Martinez track was absolutely Beautiful, so fragile...

good night friends!

Thanks everyone! Love you all! have a greeat week!

@ Readie: I knew that this was going to be a great Bossa show...For sure it was !! Gracias y Adios...PAZ!!

@Alan, Thanks!!!

Thanks all!!! for coming tonight!

💙
