Welcome, everybody, to Serenade to a Cuckoo & Jerry's Room!

Happy Friday! What a great start

Hey Rob, thank you for your positive words. I sweat to you that you will like all the music tody!

swear

No doubt

Hi Jerry! Good afternoon to you!

Hi Parrscream, really nice to see you here today!

This is so good

Kurt Elling can often hit the ball out of the park!

Really nice to be here today. Thanks Jerry!

That might be my fav version of Serenade to a Cuckoo

Rob, I was shocked to discover it after all these years, and it was very... hip!

Great opening set, Jerry! I caught the film "Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes" this week--DO NOT miss it! Fabulous clips, amazing interviews, great editing!!!

Hey DH, thank you! Where did you see the Max Roach film?

It was at SPACE Gallery here in Portland Maine, where I work. It's making the film fest rounds, and probably on PBS sometime.

I can't wait to see it! I can't wait to return to Portland. Love the food, the coffee, the beer, the museum! My daughter bought a very small place north of Portland which she rents out, can't wait until there's an opening for me!

Cool--Let me know when you're heading this way and we'll catch some tunes together!!!

Will do that!

I usually plan my hotel stay in a city by where I can find a really good coffee in the am

Plenty of that here! Breweries, too.....

Sounds great Jerry 👍

DTO about to make an appearance

Rakesh Chaurasia - yeah you pronounced it right.

and just like that, he's gone 🫥

Hey Mok, wow, are you home?

Lol

Hi, Dave!

Hey 😶‍🌫️

He is a mystical sprite!

My jury duty is complete 🙏

One hell of an experience

CINÉSPEAK Is presenting the Philadelphia premiere of Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes at The Bowl at Clark Park in West Philly next Friday, May 26, at 7 pm. Outdoors & free! https://www.cinespeak.org/cinespeak-under-the-stars/

Mok, they were lucky to have you!

Hi Russ, that information right on time!

Pat Metheny is going to be at the Keswick

Quite a review from Dhingston! Thank you, Russ

Metheny, no new CD out in awhile. I'm sure it will be sold out quickly, however. I like the guitarist on this CD alot, Kurt Rosenwinkel

Agreed. Scored tickets as soon as it was announced.

No kidding! Should be fun, electric in there

Yeah I've never seen him before..excited

I dodged the bullet. Judge said there was a 3 week murder case last month ..ufff. I'm toast after 4 days of it

Pat Metheny new album, 'Dream Box', Due Out June 16

And thar we go. Sweet. Thanks Rob F

Ars Nova Workshop is presenting Brandee Younger in a tribute to Dorothy Ashby on Friday, June 23, at 8 pm at Solar Myth in Philly: https://www.arsnovaworkshop.org/programs/brandee-younger/

Need to do a little 'prep work's before Jerry's Room

Thanks, Rob; thanks Russ. Mok, I figured you've been preparing since this morning!

Well...*looking around*

Some people drink coffee..some people have other methods 😁

Where are you looking, under the sofa cushions? In the ash trays?

Luckily the PA medical stores are open 7 days a week

Oh yeah. Thanks for recommending that Abbey Lincoln album. 👍👍

Ok, I have a meeting from 2:00 - 3:00 and I am prepared to completely ignore it to hang out in Jerry's Room instead.

Haha, Thanks Parrscream! Who needs to make money when we have music?

Ha! Exactly Jerry!

Phew. LSD is a lot.

To purchase or to handle?

Handle

I took took waaaaay too much once. @_@

Retired after that

I see what you did there!

Glad I was at college. It lasted for a few days

Brian Wilson!!

Scary

@_@

Can I ask, you don't have to answer: How did "too much" happen?

‘Paint It, Black’ 🖤 big time favourite!

Hi Mr. M, could be your theme song!

Cheers, DJ Jerry Gordon!

Backatcha!

A friend from my past rolled in my 3rd semester at Pitt t. Guy had the best lettuce. He got some sugar cubes that had 2 drops. When we ate them we told it was 4 massive liquid hits instead

Very, very scary!

Not fun. Listened to Kansas Dust in the Wind about 50 times

Obviously out of your mind!

@_@

Who was operating the record player?

<---

They don't call you Incense & Peppermok for nothing

Homer Simpson danced naked in his kitchen to that Cream song.

Thank you, David. I depend on you for this kind of information. Had no idea. Hysterical!

My first time back in NYC after the attacks was to see the Music Machine’s Sean Bonniwell at the Village Underground, backed by the Fuzztones.

Richard And The Young Lions make me proud to be from NJ. I saw a few of their reunion gigs before Richard Tepp died in 2004.

Very serious credentials, David!

I'm not sure what happened to Darby Slick after the Great Society broke up, but I hope he got some money when Jefferson Airplane had a hit with his song "Somebody to Love".

Hi Jerry! Great show! This song is so Americana it's scarry.

👍👍

Hey RS, Hey Joe?

Yes, that old American standard. :)

So well put!!!

👍 Have a great week!

1961 (the original) You too! Thanks everybody

Have a great weekend!
