Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Jul 22 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome everybody to Serenade to a Cuckoo

Hi Jerry...Happy Friday, everybody!

Greetings to Lama Gordon and his disciples.

Ha, hi Christine, Patrick! Loved your choices for Jerry's Room today!

Hello Jerry and all

🪷

Brian, Hi!

Looking forward to Jerrys room today.One full hour of the Bay.City.Rollers!!!

Your choice, Patrick, was excellent. A new song for me. Deep!

Bay City Rollers. The pride of Arista Records

No one can believe Shane MacGowan is somehow still alive.!!!

Is he from the Pogues?

Yes.

They were doomed the minute they appeared on the disastrous.Hiward Cosell.prime time spectacular

I only knew their one hit, nothing more. Patrick came up with a killer song, I don't know if it was a hit or not but it was good, as was the video

Howard must have had a pithy comment for them...if that is true and not fabricated by Patrick. It's probably not true, come to think of it. Definitely not true with more reflection.

One o the best bands ever. Such a great writer. Fiery Irish sounds sometimes punked up

I hadn't realized.

So Roy Ayers is the originator of Everybody Loves The Sunshine?

Yes

The Robert Glasper version with the vocoder-sounding vocals was very cool.

Todays Fun Fact...Cue my best Casey Kasem voice.....In 1976 the Rolling Stones made an in store record promo @3rd Street Jazz....A young Jerry Gordon advised.a band member it was time to enter Drug.Alcohol.rehab.......46 years later Keith Richard has remained clean.and sober.

The way he is going, he is ready for another 46 years!

Ahhhh Summer Madness.....

In an alternate universe, Keith Richards is sober and works as a hand model.

I'm somehow still awake, and Summer Madness just elevated this show from great to legendary. Big ups DJ Jerry Gordon, have a good day everyone. Stay cool 😎

Thank you TAndy, backatcha!

Summer madness. Sometimes confused with the music from "Rocky".

In fact... I won't be in chat but I'll sacrifice another half hour of sleep just to listen to the show 💙

Hi Rob.,Summer Madness has always been stellar!

Thank you, TAndy

Keith is actually sober -ish now compared to his 1977 self. After 1978-79 he was not exactly avoiding partying per se. But a shadow of that former self. Recent years he really cut down or quit some things

A.true Klezmer.Kosher Klassic.

It sure sounds it, doesn't it?

Dr. Michael White of New Orleans, no youngster, has a killer version of Happy Together!

This is 🔥!

Albert Ayler!

Russ, I love your joyous exclamation of "Albert Ayler!"

Jerry Billy Stewart probably most unique version of Summertime.Sad he passed away so young.believe it.was auto.accident.

Hey Jerry, cool to hear all these Summertime renditions back to back!

Triple shot of Summertime ☀

Hot town, summer in the city back of my neck getting dirty and gritty!

Patrick, he was a great one with plenty of hits and plenty of style

Jerry today would.have been a nice day fir live remote broadcast......at Johns Water Ice south philly!!

Glad you like it, DSM. I had others I wanted to throw in there to but the first hour ended after 3! I wanted to include Johnny Hartman's version, Herbie Mann's, a bunch. There will be more versions in Jerry's Room

Haha, Mok just flew in from the mid-sixties

Once again, love the name!

you like my bell bottoms and butterfly collar shirt?

That Summertime song by The.Jameys kind of corny but it always put me in a good summertime mood.

great electric relaxtion today Jerry

Music to float down the Delaware to 🚣🏼‍♀️

Sartorial splendor, Mok. Thanks, Mok, my shows are always a reflection of where I was at the night before. Masabumi Kikuchi is the greatest unrecognized pianist there is. Lived in NY for decades after living in Tokyo

Thanks to Jerry He is recognized now!!!

I am proud to have put out two great albums by him on my CD label

Afternoon Jerry! Hello the chat!

sounds amazing. Completely off my radar

Hi Ambrose, always happy to see you arrive. Welcome!

There's that theme song! Got to be a new record.

Take a look at a picture of him. Granny glsses, pony tail, way deep.

Is this the.latest Cuckoo appearance ever

Yes, and it's a better show for it!

I bet 50 dollars on 1240.

Floating down the Delaware is a great idea Christine!

Good afternoon Jerry, good afternoon all.

I see people floating down the Delaware River in South Philly sleeping.oh wait ...they arent sleeping!!!

Hey RS, welcome! good to see you!

Patrick, the eternal sleep 😳

Yikes.

YES! Love this Miles lp. And the extended sessions box set too

Hey Jerry Where was this Aqua Lounge you speak of.West Philadelphia??

McLaughlin loose and funky

48th & chancelor. I forget what bus I would take there,

Haha, some amazing things floating downstream

I wish Aquarama was still open.Who needs Sports.Complexes.??

or the Laserium

Or the Leftorium

Ned approves

This is one of my fav Miles Davis albums

Hey Rob!

Hi Jerry and all

Rob, you are showing your good taste once again.

We need more jazz albums paying tribute to Boxers.Perhaps.A Willie the.Worm Monroe or Benny Briscoe themed Cd

Big tune this 🔥🎶🔥

Hahaha. I wold definitely buy the Benny Briscoe. Don't remember The Worm!

Hi SJ, thanks for tuning in! Do you prepare your show on Fridays?

Hey jg. No it’s a an all week perpetual process

Patrick, I think my not remembering is a function of age.

Organic, SJ. Your show always sounds organic.

Mon tues and Wed nights mostly

Thanks Jerry I love your show too man I am always here but maybe not in the chat

"Organic" hee hee...

Hi Jerry, just got around to tuning in.

(Puts towel under door...)

Willie Monroe defeatedcMarvin Hagler at Spectrum.Hagler said it was a wake up call and avenged the loss.Went on to bigger things.

JM RIPPING IT UP!

Miles just turned on the mics and let them fly!

That Right Off from the JJ lp and some of the Cellar Door Sessions ... the heaviest loudest rocking McLaughlin I ever heard

Organically grown @Selecta Jerry

Wynton Marsalis did the soundtrack to "Unforgiveable Blackness", the Ken Burns doc on Jack Johnson.

Good history everyone! Hi Stephen!

Mark Isham did a great version of Right Off. Check that out.

"Miles Remebered: The Silent Way Project" lp

I went to WPRB and 1979 WDAS broke out.

I use miracle gro to be honest

Hi Jim, thanks for listening!

@Selecta Jerry, lol

Quentin having Pam Grier and Robert Forster listen to the Delphonics lp in Jackie Brown, nice touch. And not just a snippet they let the album play for the next song. Like that scene & film. Holds up.

I forgot about that. Yeah, classic! Great movie!

Love the Elmore Leonard book it came from too Rum Punch. Set in Miami instead of LA

that strawberry letter song is perpetually stuck in my head thanks to JAckei BRown

Sam Jackson did a great job, DeNiro too. But Forster was really cool

Whole show been sounding Uber!

Played Alton Ellis version of this last Saturday 🔥

@Selecta the Spear nears.

Indeed Mok

I like the Shuggie version of Strawberry Letter 23 best. When that reissue of Shuggie came out 20 years ago or so wprb played that multiple times a day. The twin guitars getting all stratospheric

sounds about right for PRB

Junior!

Thank you Guelove! SJ, I will track down that version of La La!

Jerry G I also played Johnny Osbournes version of Ready Or Not which is an amazing reggae cover

Yow! You've got the knowledge, SJ!

What a vocal

Wow✨

one of those songs that stays with you long after its over

Michelle's amazing vocal reminds me: Kari Kirkland's new single was released today.

I couldn't listen to this song without laughing and singing it. Invigorating.

Christine, I haven't really checked my social media today. I will absolutely play it next week.

niiiiiiiiiice

Tickets for Michelle Lordi’s gigs with Greg Osby & Houston Person this weekend: https://www.exploretock.com/southkitchenandjazzphiladelphia/

Thanks, Russ

Nothing like a Perfecto black leather jacket at the beach in July

Sorry, NEXT weekend!

Thanks for the link, Russell

Super fun version

DSM, one of my daughters contributed this one.

Gotta have this Sly. Sprinklers on the lawns... headed to the pool...

Jerry “shaggy” Gordon 🔥

Great selections for 🔥hot 🔥 summertime songs!

Shaggy! My oldest daughter and I have listened to that track repeatedly forever. Our "song"

Jerry "Boombastic" Gordon

Haha

😍this song!

I thinkboth woman in this band were Marthas

Slap!

Jerry “Family Man” Gordon

There's that Summer Madness synth again! Sample

i caught a Notorious BIG beat in a DeBarge song the other day

The only Shaggy I know about is the one-time WPRB dj and Swingin' Neckbreakers guitarist.

or the other way around i guess

Just answered my phone by saying ….Jerry’s Room

Summer fun

Is this Will Smith? :)

Yes was

Selecta Jerry, do you normally say "Dub Bunker" when you answer the phone?

No I say wha Gwaan ?

ROFL

:)

Have to admit saying Hello Jerry’s room was quite fun

Paul Simon tune Red Rubber Ball

I chortled as mr malcontent would say

That tinny super treble thing is happening again Jerry. Far as I can tell

Just some songs

I discovered it was my mic, but my mic is off

Thanks, SJ

Classic here. Total "at the middle school dance " song

This song is Christine's doing

Did not respect the go gos when they first hit the scene it was to poppy sounding

@Christine, good call!

Daniel Larusso!

Thanks, I love this one.

Just heard Chad & Jeremy song other day listening to the Rushmore soundtrack

Never thought I would ever hear shaggy or bananarama in Jerry’s room yet alone on the same show

Sounds great, Christine. My son-in-law just told me he loves it and it was in the Karate Kid movie

Having a MTV moment for sure. :)

I had to check the dial to make sure I was on the correct station

JO-JO!

Ha, Mok. Well this is another Christine choice along with Edward, a cool listener

Jerry G was an mtv dj on the graveyard shift back in the day

Riki Rachtman and Jerry Gordon

Triple J and JG

😂🤣😂

LOL, was that the one with "Video killed the radio star'?

Haaaaaaaaaaaa

JJ Jackson (RIP) had an enthusiasm for the VJ job. Sure did

Boooom Janice 🔥🔥🔥

JANIS!!

Love that Jonathon Richman & those young lovers

Jerry didn’t play this on mtv that’s for sure

from Columbia's vaults

Just bootleg Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. lol'

Fuzzzzz

Ah thought it was the same guy that did Avenging Annie. Recognized the voice

I ran out of time. Didn't get in Patricks choice or listener Shane's choice. I may do this again next week if anyone wants to make suggestions. It is Brian, I think

I would love to hear more summertime songs. Thank you, Jerry!

Stay cool Jerry thanks for the tunes and lively chat

👍

💯

Mok, thank you for your humor. Same goes with you, SJ. Christine, you alwas keep this show on course. Brian, thanks for your always interesting info

Tis' the season... Thanks Jerry.

See y'all later. Stay cool

Brilliant song this imho.

Hmmm I would always fast forward this one ha.

RS, glad you are along for the ride, you too Ambrose, this was Patricks choice

Peace ya’ll✌🏼

@Patrick, nice one.

I like the rocking Pogues stuff.

Yeah, Jerry, thanks for the vibe. Everybody know what Siam became?

Phuket... i give up

Iran

?

Thanks for another great show Jerry!🤗

Coool video of this on YouTube.

I think that's Persia.

The answer is Thailand!

Pogues sang about Thailand on another song. About Pattaya beach

Persia was iran, and some people from there in the west still refuse to call it Iran.

A tad Burma too I think.

Old Siam sir by wings

Ha, thanks RS. Love your knowledge. See you, Jerry!

Thanks, Ambrose
