Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Sep 16 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome, Everybody!

Hi Jerry...it is that time again!

Hi Christine!

Lots of typing for me to do, Welcome Back!!!

I feel like I'm really in with the In Crowd listening to Serenade to A Cuckoo 🐦

You are leading the In Crowd!

Thank you! It is both good and also sad to be back. I miss the Auld Sod. ☘️

No surprise. Beautiful landscapes, poets, and Guiness

The perfect environment for you, but glad you're back for now

afternoon JG. Excited for Jerry's room. Love the theme.

Hahahaha. Your best name yet?

Thanks, Jerry's Room will be great. It will be continued next week

it was a gimme..Roky was already 2 letters of the way there

If you have suggestions for Jerry's Room, let me know

It will make for good radio, I have 4 hours of stuff already

i saw your post this morning. My wheels are turning

my mind went immediatly to the opposite. I was thiking about Hard to Handle by Otis covered by all these rock bands

It is a temptation to do that

Theme song time! 🐦 🎶

I like when you include the birdie!

It's now officially Friday afternoon!

wow Blue Trane complete masters. What a nice release.

I saw that, sir!

;-)

Most exciting!

perfectly timed for his bday as well. Very cool.

When is that Moky?

Born: September 23, 1926

Christine, have you caught up on your sleep and gotten on schedule?

Thanks, Mok

Anyone watch that film Nomadland? Phew roller coaster ride of emotion. Anyway they used this great Morrissey line "Home, is it just a word? Or is it something you carry within you? " I've been ruminating on it all week

Deep! Is that a movie in the teaters now? TV?

Good afternoon Jerry!

Hey everyone! Friday afternoon! Almost there..... Enjoying the show today Jerry.

TV. I think it won some awards. Heartbreaking but so good

Hello in the chat crowd!

Hi Ambrose, how is your day going?

@Jerry good, even better now I have you tuned in, sad about Ramsey Lewis!

Yes, for sure!

👏 👏 👏

Work has been pulling me away from the chat (audacity of employers, etc.). That last track was fantastic. I am still dealing with the jet lag. 😴

Yo Bo!

@Mok, I haven't seen Nomadland yet, but it's on my list.

I thought you straightened your employer out!

They just keep expecting me to work, it's the weirdest thing.

I hate that

This Miles sounds great. Well, I like almost everything he did

Sounds a lot like the "Live Around the World"

In the cookin' right along lane.

Happy afternoon!

Hi Rob. I will announce the band after the song. This really sounds good! Not everybody is as accepting of a broad pallette of music that Miles created. You and Rofflestomp, a rare breed!

Hey RS, backatcha!

Thanks for that, Russ Woessner!

With that band - No wonder it was that good

Rob, good point!

Now that is an unusual line-up!

Crazy album but it works

I like where this is going. :)

Haha, RS!

Trent Reznor, go figure.

He's no Johnny Hartman!

Sweet stuff here! BAM!

Ha! I'm buying another air fryer, the deluxe one!

Quite the contrast of vocals between the songs. Drums are nice

Really nice percussion.

These are tracks 4 & 5 on the album

Loving these new releases of the past 90 minutes 💯

Christine. I felt the drummer just kept the last piece moving right along as well.

I agree, Roffle.

💜 Michelle Lordi

Welcome back!

Thank you! I missed my PRB family.

Christine - Welcome back. Hope you had a great trip. Sounded like it was good from the SOTC chat

We were worried Christine wouldn't come back.

Also, she had easy access to Guiness which she took advantage of.

It was a trip of a lifetime, we went everywhere, and it was hard to say goodbye. But in the end I said slán go fóill instead of goodbye forever, because I will be back!

And the Guinness really does taste different there.

I feel the same way about New Zealand. If I go back im staying

New Zealand sounds perfect for you, Mok

Mok, I am envious! NZ is on my bucket list. 🇳🇿 🌿 Were you enchanted by the country?

Queenstown, NZ was one of the most beautiful places on earth. They filmed Lord of The Rings there, etc. I still have the brochure on my desk from 2010. I dream all the time of returning

I hope you get back there soon, Mok.

you can hike, bike, fish ..take a helicopter up the mountain and go skiing. Too much fun.

one day :)

Great Jazz section today for sure!

Thank you, RS

Wow...this is a great version

Its freaking fantastic, Mike, and so are Dylan's insane lyrics

Is the bass thick enough?

💯 Bass

the live versions of this track in the Dylan Bootlet #13 are insanely good

The, this version is B. waaaaaay better (to use DJ Pato's rating) than Bob's version. In my opinion.

Slow Train Coming is up there for me in the Dylan catalog

You may call me Zimmy

😄

This band kicks

Really does

I'm disturbing the neighbors

Mike, we need music like this for our circulation!

Keep it loud!

I may have lost a pound during that one!

Haha, it kicked like Steve Miller Kicks, that same kind of tension and aggression

yep

hmm is Seals and Croft 'rock'....I guess maybe yacth rock

yacht bleh

This song has enough catchy hooks for a whole career

I like the toy piano in the original version

Chef Emeril, excellent comment, it's always true of the Isleys

Ernie has such a great tone

Right on, Mike, you said it. I had 5 different Isley tunes selected for that reason

Pretty good version of a fav 10CC song

Dee Dee's vocals! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Hey Readie! Her version is so exceptional!

This mood right now 💎

Agreed, JG! First time hearing this!!!

Hi, Readie!

Really beltin' out this one.

Hahahaha

Hi CHristine!

Uh oh....Barry in the house

Look out!

Happy afternoon Readie

Good to see you, Christine!!

Hi Roffle!

Readie, it's always fun when you drop in!

indeed

Thanks, Jerry- been listening while prepping the show and my brother's coming to visit later!

Hi Mike!

Hi!

Barry = vocals like BUTTAH!

Hahaha, love it Readie

🔥 🧈

Lol, Christine, is that a stick o' buttah?!!!

Acapella Zappa! 🌩

@Readie, yes LOL

soft, warm butter

Christine, you are the Emoji Queen! 👸🏼

The circle closes. Persuasions do Zappa does doowop!

While working at a job!

"working" 💅 jk, I actually do work.

That was just right.

There's work?

🐈 Stevens

@Mike, lol

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnhodcB62g

Haha, Christine, you do have a talent for use of icons plus of course you had the right answer

@Russell hahaha

Ugh....I should have known this one

The slower tempo adds emotional impact.

This version is great.

Hi Jerry et al

Hi Eso-T!

Hi Esoterica. Like your friend Readie, you have impeccable taste

Readie!

YAY!

This one, too, excellent, no?

Great one! git it with those congas!

They are going to be good until 3 oclock

And beyond!

Conga-licious! Thx, Jerry.

Chicago cover!

?

Maybe

nah

AHHHHHHH

Noooooo now I cry in a good way. I thought so too Readie.

I knew you would get it in a second

Brothers Gibb!

But this is fantastic, too

This was recommended by former PRB DJ Kurt

Fooled by those lead-in keys

This was big in its day!

Church is in session

Super

Hi, Esoterica!

Hi, C!

Yes, I was thinking of Colour My World by Chicago...

Mike, a song I know you like but by a different artist is coming up

The song that launched a million proms

Readie, you are right, it sounds like Colour my world

Cool!

LOL, Mike! Yes, just those first few notes...

This is random, but my brother and sister-in-law named their boat Colour My World. They are fans.

Oh YEAH!

@Christine - that is very cool! Chicago was a breakthrough band back in the day!

A very moody interpretation...loving it

Donny Hathaway is in the top ten soulful singers ever

Sure is!

Sure is.....shame

Who's on that gospel organ!!

Want to take the one Jerry? :)

Good question, Readie, I would like to know as well!

Thanks, Jerry- great stuff!

Quich research says Donnie on organ

Thanks Readie, Esoterica, Mike, Christine, et. al.! Love your participation, everybody!

Quick

Thx Jerry!!

Great show, thanks Jerry!

👍🖖

See ya Fam next week!

Thanks Ambrose, RS!

@Mike, thx- that's great- didn't know Donny played!
