Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Jul 29 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome everybody to Serenade to a Cuckoo!

Hello Jerry!

Hey Brian, thanks as always!

Village Gate lp! Classic

I hope you find today's show interesting!

Absolutely!

Smooov summertime 🌞

Greetings Commissioner Gordon and all loyal Gotham City listeners.

Happy Friday, Jerry!

Greetings, loyal Alfred White

Stephen, thank you for joining. I know you will like this show today!

Alfred, take my wife, please

Hi Christine, thanks for joing as always. If you don't have this album, please put on your list

I’m BATMAN 🦇

I'll add it to my list 📝

Ahh Mr. Malcontent, also known as "Bruce Wayne", is on the scene.

Looking forward to today's segment of Avant Garde Gordon.Tony Orlando and Dawn perform works of the Velvet Underground accompanied by Chico Marx on Piano.

Did you just watch the Gershwin story on AMC?

I hate lists.My names on a lot of lists.Do not admit.Do not let enter.Do not rent to etc etc

You are right about that!

Hi Jerry! Cool Loungey start😍

Saint Ambrose of Hughes.Patron Saint of Cool.

Hi Ambrose, good to see you, thanks! Patrick is right about you!

All the hyperlinks! Add double space after punctuation! DotDangIt! 😛🤣

@Patrick White The First!

Hyperlinks to Nowhere Dot Ugh

@Patrick, 👀😂🤣

I enjoy mr.Malcontents comments but his Avatar scares me like Pagliacci the clown scared Kramer!!

Ahahahaha 💀 Boo!

It definitely doesn't speak of brighter days ahead! But MrM is always...mirthful

And capitalize Mr! I mean… ☠️

I know many of us hail from the Philly area, Jim's Steaks on South St is on fire and it doesn't look good. It's pretty big!

Don’t burn the steaks! 🥩 wait.

Stephen, I was meditating on that this morning, wondering how that could happen after all these years!

🐄🔥

Ambrose, is that a cow on fire?

A heifer started the fire, Ambrose Hughes?!?

Today's Fun Fact..ABC filmed a pilot for a sitcom @Jerrys Record Store.It was called And the Horse You Came In on

😡

It starred Jack Albertson as a cantankerous record store owner who hated his customers.It never aired because a certain Upper Darby record store owner sued for defamation of character

Haha, they ought to do a sequel at my house, it's even more appropriate now

Amazing how long our favorite steak shops have existed

I suppose it's all Mrs O'Leary's fault!

Ahhhh!

I thought it was a side of beef on fire

I just saw Tony Luke with a book of matches

Let's hope the fire doesn't spread to the Larry Fine sign.

Hahahahahaha!

Hey Smokky!

@Jerry, which side? Top side, sirloin, flank, filet, skirt, rump, all of these above?

🚬 smells like bidis in here

🚭

Yum, I'll go with a sirloin. My ex-wife was a vegetarian. I went vegetarian for 35 years. The day we seperated, I had a cheesesteak!

Mok switched from beadies to cannabis at a very early age.

i'm all about the Reading Terminal Market for that roast pork/broc rabe sandsich

The broccoli rabe kills all the bad cholesterol

With edibles, you can make your cheesesteak or roast pork/broccoli rabe sandwich magical ✨

Right on Smokey.Dinics is the best.

this is true. You can add the oil to anything and its ready to eat

I want to eat at Christine's house

or Mok's

Any Folk Fans in the audience.The USPS has just released very beautifully designed Pete Seeger Stamps.

That is very hip

I don't cook a lot. A related New Yorker cartoon made me lol this week: (people standing in a kitchen, near an oven) Homeowner, showing this swirling dark space inside the oven: "Since I don't cook much, I replaced it with a void I can scream into."

Do you take out/send out for food most of the time?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention to Patrick about not leaving the space after periods and creating hyper links. Mr M to the rescue

I eat at Rittenhouse Square.i grab the leftovers when the.Jet Set isn't looking at Rouge.

Christine, we are going for a record today for the latest the theme shows up. I'm not sure if it will beat last week.

Will it be a record-breaking show? We will find out!

Patrick is a hyper and deep kind of guy. As soon as someone gets up at Rouge, he sits down at their table and pretends e was there the whole time

Technically, Patrick hasn’t stopped⚫️Just accidentally starting the sentence with a word with too many letters⚫️fml 😩😤😡🙃😂🤣

Great selections! Cheers, DJ Jerry Gordon!

yeah great cover

Excellent summery selections, I agree! Also, I really like the album art on that Bill Frisell album.

Any Bill Frisell fans out there. He will be appearing @Village Vanguard almost entire month of August.

Thanks, Christine

@Patrick, I'm a fan you could say, thanks for the tip!

@Christine, I second that, lovely songs Jerry!😍

A terrible shame that this singer has passed.

This song is for almost all of the Cuckoo listeners.

Applicable.

One of the great thrills of my life, seeing Oscar Brown Jr. at Starrs

Where was Starrs located Jerry?

Don't remember.

No record today

@Jerry, what a voice is right!

Cuckoo Latino

THERE'S that theme song...!

Those two singers were favorites of mine, brilliant brilliant jazz people, Jeanne Lee and then Oscar Brown Jr.

Ha, Brian, definitely

Great version of "cuckoo"

Showed up in the mail one day!

Jeanne Lee and Ran Blake! You are right, Jerry. She died too soon!

Hi Russ! She was the best!

Great job USPS!!Jerry 2nd and Bainbridge.

12:54 was the time on the playlist of the theme song last week. 🐦 🎶

1 minute left

I actually saw Ran Blake at a house concert on North Hancock Street circa 2018.

🎃

Agreed. Herbie M at his finest

@Jerry, the trees are heat stressed, they are known to shed some leaves when that occurs, need rain and GLOBAL cooling.

It depresses me, Ambrose. I am into succulents, have many of them, and keep them outside for those precious spring and summer months. I look at them every day, and when I go outside and see the leaves on the ground, I feel natty dread.

Jerry. Not as depressing as the sight of Familia coming in from the bullpen.

@Jerry, yes, I completely understand, "Matty dread", 😅

*natty

Hahahahahahahahahaha. You're right about that!

The plants don't like how we're wrecking the climate. 🌎🔥🪴😭

I appreciate what Ambrose said; I do get weirded out by picking out tree leaves from my pots on July 29

Stars was at 2nd & Bainbridge in Philly.

Thanks. What a great neighborhood and place. Couldn't get the location together in my mind

There used to be a bar called Who's On Third at 3rd & Bainbridge. It was lively.

What was the name of the guy at 3rd and Bainbridge??

No, Who 😄

That's what I'm asking!!!😡

What's on second.

No, who's on first

Haha, Christine, Patrick

I'm not going to 2nd and Bainbridge!!I'm headed to 3rd and Bainbridge.Now tell me Who's there!!!

Correct, @Patrick

I need to know Today!

How's that? No Howe is the guitar player for Yes. Yes? No....

Today is the catcher.

WHEN would you be able to finally tell me? No, Winwood plays guitar and keys for Traffic. Go play in traffic?

Ay yi yi!!I don't care!@

https://store.gocomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/pb141019-framed.png

You owe me the answer! No Iommi. Iommi? Yeah he plays guitar for Sabbath

Good one Russell.Thats me with the bat.

Jerry have you decided which songs from the GREASE soundtrack to play for Third Hour?

I STRONGLY considered that, absolutely. It got squeezed out in a photo-finish

Classic @Russell

I was afraid to play Olivia Newton John

Nothing says summer like 31 year old teenagers.

You'll never replace Cale and Tucker in the Velvet Underground. Actually, two Yules already did. What? No, he played bass in the Minutemen. I need you to tell me now... !

Ha!

WOW! Didn't see this coming😍

Olivia Newton John was 28 when she played a high school student in Grease. Stockard Channing was 33, and John Travolta was 23. Crazy.

Ambrose, I love this track

Is that right? No he played keys for Floyd . His uncle? No but Jimmy's brother was Floyd, he played guitar for Conan...

@Jerry, you'll be at the show no doubt?

@Brian, lol

No Doubt? Hush, don't speak, they came much later. ..

Lol? Yeah he was with Godley. Godley and Creme? No Ginger and Cream...

Ambrose, I don't know which one yet. But I enjoy the hell out of Michelle, I guess that's obvious!

Hey Jerry confusing Fishtown with Kensington has caused many ruckuses at our family gatherings😀

Did I say both?

@Jerry, yeah kinda sorta!😉

👂

ouch

JIMI!

Of course!

And the telephone keeps on screaming (online)

Ha!

Love this lp

for Mok

Hey DAve!

🤘

🔥🔥🔥

oooooo

A rock album pretty close to perfect

another Matthew Katz special *boooo*

toxic breath and personality

Yes, Jerry. It’s a beautiful album!

Always uplifting, Russ!

So is this guitar!

I thought I heard it...Jane's Addiction!

I can’t control my brainz!

Frickin' A! (suggested by listener Shawn)

No flies on Christine!

This show has me enjoying SUMMER! 🎶🌞🎵

None on Mr. Malcontent either, he shook them all away!

Chasing after the crazy bee...! 🐝

Two and 1/2 hours already! Summer time rolls indeed.

Hey RS!!!

🌌🍷

Hi Jerry. Yeah, this song has a place in my heart too.

What a song!

Suddenly it's 1989.

Ha!

There's a theme here. As the summer recedes, people start bumming

Northwest years for me. This song landed well in the midst of it. :)

Where were you, RS?

Jeez, Jerry, I am looking at the leaves on the ground in the park across the street. I was I Seattle and fishing in AK. Dutch Harbor and SE AK. Good times. :)

That preserved your brain, RS

My ex might argue that point with you down to the mat, but thank you.

loving all these selections. Listener supported!

Mok is a fisherman too. The most peaceful activity I can think of

If I didnt have to work id be fishing

Listener approved, except maybe for this Doors song, but that's me. All else is tops.

This a bummer, but the next song is even worse!

ending on a sad note?

As the summer recedes, we bum

THE DOORS ❤️

No.

Bummer time

luv bum in the sun

Great one here!

yes. Christine.

That guitar sure is happy sounding though...

He was on drugs

This one is downright funny, love it

In the day when most peoples pharmacist was a guy someone knew. :).

YEAH! This is Bob's band's tour de force live for the past 20 years. They just RIP it up

who are the guitarists?

Miss this era of the Never Ending Tour Band. Charlie Sexton, Larry Campbell , David Kemper and longtime bass man band leader Tony Garnier.

Charlie Sexton and Larry Campbell on lead guitars

These past two weeks showed just how many songs about summer there are. Scads!

Bob too live

Kick ass drummer too

Charlie Sexton was way underated as a guitar player. The guys amazing.

True that, Christine

I think Charlie is back in the live band again. In and off through the past 20yrs. But Tony G on bass has been there since about 1991 or so

Would love to catch that.

David Kemper on drums during that 1999-2001 era. He was the long time drummer for the Jerry Garcia Band too. 1980s to about 1994

Best Dylan shows I saw were 1999-2000. On fire that band.

Oh wow, that's why that name is so prominent sounding. Cool!

Another Loudon W III song that reminds me about summer is the dead skunk in the road song. 🦨

Yeah David K really gave Dylan's band a big kick. Great heavy hitter when he needed to be

DJ Jerry Gordon! TopNotch Show! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards to you! Stay happy! ☀️

These are the vibes of a kid doing 'Back to School' shopping with with mom. lol

Van Halen Diamond Dave early era really makes me think of summer.

@Brian D. Thanks for the info, that's prob my fav Bob Dylan period other than the real early stuff.

Thank you, Jerry! 💎 A gem of a show; soooo many summer songs!

hot for teacher!!!

Top self as always Jerry! 3 hours busy work made easy. Thanks man!

See y'all later! Great show Jerry!

👏👏👏

This is that song all over TikTok...

"Come on and stink now..." -Loudon Wainwright

Great music as always Jerry, thank you! 🙏 for a nice soft rain.

Thank you Mr. M, appreciated, I think y ou are cool too!

Thanks Ambrose
