Serenade to a Cuckoo Fri Dec 15 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome, everybody, to Serenade to a Cuckoo!

Hey Jerry! Happy Friday to you. I hear there's a lot to L❤️VE about today's show...

sitar! 😺

DJ Tall Trees was just playing Art Blakely and the Jazz Messengers; a nice segue.

Ha, yes Christine. I think people will find it interesting, a lot of people don't know the later Love albums.

Hi Dave, have to do it to promote mental health! Like you do!

Christine, she may do it on purpose, which is nice and thoughtful!

Hi DTO 😶‍🌫️ Very sorry to miss The New Abnormal this morning 😞 😭 (work)

wut?

Great start! A 2023 list-worthy release the Roopa lp

😞 that’s okay, Christine

Hi Brian!

This band is headed by the owner of England's "Edition" Records

@DTO, I missed the Difficult Music and the cool kids 🫠

Work has calmed down, and it's lunch anyway. Enjoying the show. 🎶 BTW, happy 83rd birthday to WPRB 📻 🎶

Christine, is it definitely the 83rd?

Jerry, yep, according to the WPRB Facebook page.

Yeah, Solomon posted it

Hi Mike. I read it yesterday (83rd) and just now thought "How is that possible?"

Mike, plenty of unbeatable and obscure information during the Love show

Looking forward to it....I know nothing of them after Forever Changes

That's the case with a lot of people

Can I have an icon?!

Come to think of it, the only other thing I know about them was the cover Of Reel to Real (1974) really freaked my girlfriend out.

Haha, for good reason. I didn't listen to them too much after Forever Changes but I did purchase every one but it was never quite the same

Good Morning Jerry, Just wanted to say Hi. It's been a while since I logged in here. Hope you are doing good. Enjoying today's show, as always.

Good day Jerry, Christine, Brian and all

Thank you, James, miss you and glad you popped in. Thank you!

Hey Allan, my buddy in "Love"!

Another great one this Nat Birchall Trane release. And the other volume

Hey there. Very excited about the LoVE set coning up

A few LOVE emojis: 💘 ♂️ ♀️

Christine ❤️💕🥰

Allan ushered in the hippie era in Philadelphia, listening to Love and Mandrake Memorial, making the city safe for psychedelia.

Nazz

Thank you, Christine, Brian!

I’m blushing Jerry. TY

It's true, there should be a statue of you at 15th and Market.

Now I’m ROTF 😅🤣

How about my statue next to the old Philly LOVE monolith

You came before that, I believe

Sure did. That monolith was visionary with cudos to the band 😊

OK, Allan, we will get that done!

Still laughing out loud

With Todd and Randy Monaco and Essra Mohawk in the background

And Michael Bacon and Danny Sterobin

I was in the Boy Scouts with most of Sweet Stavin Chain

RIP-Thunder In The Morning

Essra's resume wow. Great Philly artist. She was something

Brian-did you ever catch Bonnie Raitt and Freebo at the Main Point?

I was probably more interested in Sesame Street and Mr Rogers at that time. But I loved the tape I had 15 - 20 years later of Bonnie and Freebo in Philly on wmmr broadcast

Good tunes on Sesame Street. Some heavy funky players. And Schoolhouse Rock (Essra included)

My memories show my age 😊. I walked with dinosaurs

Saw them at (I think) Academy Of Music

Sigma Sound 1972 Bonnie:

Brian-I saw Capt’n Beefheart one freezing cold Jan or Feb night at the Main Point. One of my top 5 concerts ever

We wore that cassette out at college in the late 80s early 90s

My sis wore out her tape of Jackson Browne at the Main Point w David Lindley. She recorded that off the radio. Classic show too

This latest Sco lp is great all the way through. As expected from him

MMR broadcast some great shows from Sigma Sound and the Main Point

unreal vocal, vocalist

That Scofield version of Old Man was really cool

Sounded so Ella Fitzgerald@

Hey Bud, yeah!

Hi Ossy, she is the best jazz vocalist out there

Bud, Scofield was ON for that track

Indeed, although Scofield being ON happens a lot!

Yeah, love Scofield

Hey Rob F!

So many great 2023 tracks!

There really were, Rob

Michelle Lordi 💜

Christine, and your buddy Kari Kirkland

Love them both!! 💖

This Jonathan Blake is cool

Very good, exhibiting your usual good taste.

Hellllllo Jerry and all the Cuckoonistas

oof course another impeccable show. Many new listens for me to checkout!

Hi Chris, like yourself, we have a lot of Charlie the Tuna type listeners with excellent taste

ha ha #of course

I can dig it

Your band Twilight Archive is so consistently outstanding

Thank you for the kind words. so glad you like our tunes. Another album in progress.

Sounds good to me!

Thanks for listening, Chris. The band Love is next!

excellent!

love what you said about the "best of" lists. So much generic taste.

Not here though!

Shout out to Bruce 👏

Got some good $$$ for my copy of Forever Changes

Right on!

Spanish Flemenco type sound

Fun fact, Bobby Beausoleil of Manson Family fame was in an early version Of Love in 1965.

Hey Bruce! and Jerry! Great music

Hey George, Bruce says hello!

Cool!! These are some great tunes and interesting info as always!

Killer blues track.

🔥

Jimi!

"Love" to hear that 40min jam!

Craig Tarwater is an excellent lead guitarist. The best most unknown lead guitarist

Right on, Allan

Columbia messed up big time by shelving this

These tunes totally rock. Another major label music biz debacle. One of many unfortunately.

really crazy, but as you know the decision makers often don't know what they are hearing or doing

word

That's why they call me Charlie the Tuna

Dashing in your beret and glasses

This is fascinating, I had no idea of all this Love history.

Great show JG. Thanks for including Twilight Archive today. Have great Weekend everybody.

This was great. Thanks Jerry!

Great show Jerry.

Excellent show today, Jerry! L❤️VE the energy ✨️

Thanks, Allan, Rob F, Chris M, Bud, Mike, Christine, George, Brian, Ossy

Arthur floated effortlessly in and out of so many different styles. He’s truly a legend
