Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Aug 12 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hi everyone, welcome to Serenade to a Cuckoo!

Hi Jerry...it's that time again!

Hi Christine, how are you?

Hello Jerry. Like this Nat Birchall. Flavors of Pharoah

LOL

Pretty good! The weather right now isn't too horrible, and I had yesterday off.

Hi Brian, well said.

Hi Brian & Rofflestomp 👋

He's been around forever and shuns fame

Yeah has that Pharoah Sanders jingling and jangling....

Hi RS, are you LOL-ing already?

Yes, that percussion thing, all inspired by John Coltrane

Jerry, you are surely gonna mess with everyone's minds and play your theme strait away! You monster you!

Haha, I may do that!

Christine, did you get your biking in yesterday?

I want to interview Nat Birchall but I have been shying away from interviews, they take alot of time, editing, etc.

✌️

WOW! Hi, Mok!

Afternoon all. Peace and love

Mok, I hope you will be on the water and in the mountains this weekend

What well wishes you offer the Cuckoo listeners here in the chat room!

I wish. Looks like it's going to be beautiful this weekend

@Jerry I did do dome biking, but not a lot, since it was hot. The canal path in Lambertville is partially shaded. Parts of the canal path are are closed since Hurricane Ida blasted through last year. The 1-year anniversary of Ida is coming up in a couple weeks.

I bought Nat's Afro Trane right after I heard that track on your show. Now this one is in my Bandcamp wish list!

Brian, I am so glad you have supported that artist!

This track is a personal friend of mine from the beginning of the 70s

Christine, thanks for stuff. I sorta love your updates. I feel better when I know about stuff., that's for sure.

Christine, I'm curious. Could a group of people (friends of the path or whatever) clear it out or are there too many uprooted trees?

@Jerry, the Hurrican Ida damage took out parts of a few bridges on the canal path, which will need to be rebuilt. Another small section of path near a mill was partially eroded away; it was blocked off but still passable, so people have worn a path around that barricade.

It is a shame that the contiguous path is out of commission

Thankfully, Owowcow in Lambertville reopened after being damaged & flooded by Hurricane Ida. 🍦

Thanks, @Roffle.

That sounds like an ice cream shoppe

We love the canal path in Lambertville! We park near 202 bridge , take a hike all through town then hit Thai Tida on the way back for great food in a cool chill place

Sounds fantastic!

I love that place too, @Brian! 🇹🇭 🍜

So many Owowcows now! I remember when ut was just the 1 by Lake Nockamixon. what a treasure

What is that?

We are blessed by four Owowcow locations now. It's great! 🍦

I tried a Chocolate Jalapeño ice cream first time I went to Owowcow. That and a1/2 doz other samples

so bummed Liberty Hall Pizza shut down

Delicious, handmade ice cream and some interesting flavor offerings. I tried sweet buttered corn yesterday, but ended up picking peach & blackberry. 🍦

Yeah we liked Liberty too. You guessed right Jerry. Owowcow is great ice cream joint. Several

Hey Jerry, sounding great once again!

Hi DSM, thank you! Glad you're listening!

So Liberty Hall is not coming back? Bummer, was a great option over there.

Oh I would have chosen peach blackberry too! One of my favorite pies! Tanner's Mkt in Richboro will have that combo in a pie every once in a while

and now im hungry

That's good to know, @Brian! Now I want to drive to Richboro.

Bill Ortiz is in search of Truth, while we're in search of Food...

These sounds are awesome on my new amp. Life is good. Thanks Jerry!

🍕

Enjoy that improved system, RS

Mok, did you get today's name from an album title?

i grabbed from a jazz trio ;)

I thought so! One of my favorite piano players!

Masabumi, Gary and Paul Motian

You are ON it! Masabumi Kikuchi

taking my Cuckoo knowledge out into the real world

Haha. I am impressed and loving your embrace of his music!

Excellent ✨🆕 tracks today

Thanks, Christine

The people here today are special listeners

looks like we are having a party at 2pm. 🥳

It's going to be good, Mok

41 minutes

This is a fun version

Someday we will cross that 1 PM line...

There's that theme song!

I never heard this rendition! Is it new, @Jerry?

Greetings all. Hail up Jerry G. Saw you talking about Nat birchall. I love his works with Al breadwinner and legendary trombonist vin Gordon. This album is a great sample of their works https://www.dustygroove.com/item/953750/Nat-Birchall:Tradition-Disc-In-Dub-Nat-Birchall-Meets-Al-Breadwinner

Firey dark reggae dub interpretations

I will check that out, Jerry, thank you! Not familiar with it, want to be!

Somehow still awake. WRTI 💙 Idris Mohammad 💙💙💙💙💙💙 ok nearly sleepy time. Keeping the radio on though, I need some good music for some good dreams!

Hey TAndy, thanks for tuning in during your sleep moments. This track might keep you up!

Selecta Jerry, are you able to show your email in this chat, or do ou keep that private?

Cool! Love Idris. First heard of him when a friend grabbed some of his cassettes at a yard sale in the 1990s. They were the kind with the softer black plastic snap case that covered the whole tape. Sticker label on outside. Popped it in the car and heard that cover of Express Yourself! Black Rhythm Revolution lo i think it was.

Nice!

Some great electric piano and percussion today. That Kapiko Cuckoo had a great Latin groove on the keys & percussion too. Sel Jerry thanks for reco I gotta check out Nat w Breadwinner bone

Cole Porter

KAPICO is getting added to The List. 📝

Check it out on YouTube, Christine

And thanks for the link, Selecta Jerry. Big up!

Jerrydread@yahoo.com

Thank you

Of course!

@Selecta rehydrated from that Spear show?

remind me to wear a bathing suit next time i go to the TLA

No mok striken with covid currently 🦠

Horizontally tuned in

i just got over it myself. here's to a healthy recovery

Oh no @Selecta! Hope you recover quickly.

Sorry to hear that SelectaJerry. Get better quickly

I am one day in. Still pretty wounded

Sending healing vibes to @SelectJerry 🙌

2 and 1/2 years running from Rona and she finally got me thanks to the tla

you can guarantee that. The Mann would have been such a better venue for that show. A disgrace

Jerry, really sorry to hear this. I bet you were shocked when you got it. I hope the symptoms are not too bad

it was cool to see a few WPRB purple shirts that night

I was really disappointed to pass on the show :(

Hi, GBoss

@Mok, were you bedecked in purple also?

blessings and good health Selecta J!

Gboss I ran into friends of yours. They bought me a beverage of my choice

i didn't :( but I did talk to one of the purple people

Thanks everyone gonna go shut my eyes 🙏🏼

going to the fleet foxes show today! putting up magic wards of protection...

and man this band is making my head bop!

Hi Jerry, glad to be able to tune in to the stream today. @Selecta, he told me you guys got to chat a bit

Healing vibes to you, @Selecta. 🙌

Guelo, GBoss, thanks for listening and joining today. Selecta Jerry's show is radio as it should be: fun, relatable, impeccable music choices, and best of all, a great person!

This guy is a classical guitarist in Italy, jazz is his SECOND musical language.

Selecta Jerry's show is what initially got me into listening to wprb, but I've been listening to a lot of the programming lately.

its New Jersey's only radio station so you don't have a choice

It is truly unique

got my chef shirt and everything

This mood 💯

right on, GBoss!

Christine, this song is quite a groove!

It sure is.

🎉🎉🎉Party time 🎊 Excellent

OMG, I just want to be a fly on the wall in Jerry's anything. Everything is a smart place to be.

Clap yer hands snap yer fingers... wait... hard to do w that drink in hand .....hmmmm

🔥🎺🎷🎸

That "Riverside" riff

Put your drink in the air like you just don't care

Thanks, RS, qite the compliment

At the Party of Special Things to Do ....

Jerry, you are one of my smarty hero guys with awesome taste. I thank you!

Thank you, RS, I'm actually Charlie the Tuna

I'll check out that with mayo.

Working well together.

My frigging bass speakers just said hi btw.

Charlie the Tuna doesn't get that opportunity because while he may have good taste, he doesn't taste good!

😄

RS, h;i back to them. They are going to get a work out this hour which they like

From the my noisy works representative, it's on!.

I hear that this is the way that they in fact, do it

Is your theme song "Sorry Charlie" by The Scotsmen?

Hi David, I should switch to that!

Classic: Beastie Boys

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-Pipo6ZHg

Kerry King from Slayer on the purposefully dumbed down guitar solo.

Thank you, David! New info for me, Brian!

RIP MCA

Ya Kerry did not get the big recognition like Eddie Van Halen got for Beat It ha!

Mercy is not what happens when the gate opens!

Headphones song here. Wild panning left to right w that great guitar work from Jimi

💜💜💜 Jimi

Just got louder!... no wait... went down again ....

Hi C! I love your ears!

I don't think I ever heard the original of this (The Earl King song, not the Chuck Berry song).

Crazy mix. Fun stuff JG

Ya... i have heard the Dr John version of Come On and Hendrix the most

Sorceror Richard!

This Hendrix guy;' He had a fuzz box?

Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face. Holy Grail pedal

Hey hey get up kids! It's JUMP TIME!

Have my baby Brian! I'll hire someone.

Hi Mok, thanks

Am I the Arnold or the Danny in this flick?

That is a ripping guitar wow! Down and mean and dirty!

The way it oughta be... partay!

This party energy is perfect for a Friday afternoon. ✨😎🎉

Oh we are just jump jivin our way to the fish fry!

Swings more than the jazz part!

That bass and piano... .mmnn

*jumpin' intensifies*

PARTY!!!!!!!!!! BAM!!!

.... lemme catch my breath....

Hey Chef! I'm still paying off my air fryer but I don't even care!

Mom is not always right ...

Chuck Negron just turned 80!

@JERRY THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE!

Three Dog rocking the place

Y'know you can have a Saturday night fish fry with my air fryer!

Heard some bootleg live tapes of 3DN from late 60s early 70s. They did a handful of covers of Traffic songs.

Chef, I want money put in your pocket!

Saturday Night Fish Fry with Chef Emeril!

That uber strong Bass! Never notice that as a kid.

RS, which track?

I’m reading now that Eric Burdon recorded the first version of “Mama Told Me Not to Come”, between the Old Animals and the New Animals. How could I’ve forgotten this?

Kicking it up SEVERAL NOTCHES

Eddy Grant 💚

For future "party downer"songs check out Junior Brown "Party Lights". He contrasts the lights of a party with the blue n red flashing lights of the patrol car that pulled him over . Mr "Guit-Steel" picker extraordinaire

The song was written by Randy Newman for Eric Burdon and it is on the album Eric Is Here, I believe. But it was no Three Dog Night! No one knows about the Eric Burdon version

*lights up the blunt*

Thank you, Mok!

Pass to the left everyone please

Thanks, Brian, I will have to do an hour of downer party songs!

Christine is bogarting it

AM, rest in peace. In my ear it was awesome thru the speakers.

Ahem... listeners of Jerry Gs 3 week a Eric Burdon extravaganza might know about that... Ahem

Ha. I was thinking of this song the entire show

Too bad the Equals never came to America, but I did see Derv Gordon make his U.S. East Coast debut 5 years ago in Jersey City.

Like it, David!

And there's Ween "Your Party" with tri colored pastas AND... AND. . David Sanborn guest star!

A great show theme!

Jazz pedal steel guitar and jazz mandolin and jazz fiddle theme show! And Dobros!

A Ween retrospective would be epic

Great show Jerry. I'm going to party one way or another

Oh yah! Wanda!

Thanks, Jerry....what a party!

Did anybody here see Wanda Jackson at Asbury Lanes?

Rocket 88 is a good one too

Love it

I fell fine, thanks Jerry more smart!

Sadly no, @David.

Crazy bass
