Hey y'all! welcome to Recherché! Happy last Friday in 2023!

Hi Readie!! HAPPY FRIDAY!! and the Days are getting looonger~~~~~~

"Only for the United States"? I don't understand. Please don't slap me.

Hey Alan- you said it! And I am verrrrry happy about it.

@ David: no slapping allowed here, i'm at a looss tooo!

Hi David! welcome! I wouldn't slap you!!! Elsewhere in the world, the date is done like this: 29 Dec. 2023 (Day comes first) 291223

@ Readie: do you like the popping cork sound in the Emerson track????

I like percussive sounds of all and sundry in every track! @Alan - how's that for an answer LOL!

@Alan, does it bug you? I'm curious!

@ Readie: Popping corks for New years lol

@ readie: No way does it bug me..

I like all kinds of musical craziness!

Oh yes. COVID is putting a damper on my NYE plans, though...my friend's son may have been exposed and I may be spending the Eve solo...my nephew's family all has it too - it's BAAAAAAAAAAck!

Glad it doesn't bug you Alan!

@ Readei: yes Lizbot was at her family, someome had it, she's ok so far...

Yeah, I was lurking in the chat last night, feverishly preparing Recherché, and I saw it on FB too. Really sad ! I still mask everywhere...so who knows!

Readie: I'll be solo too, but plan to be on the NYE chat show by Dana K..

...and Marvin's 24 hour, Epic!

Sounds like a plan, Alan! I may have to hop into that! ANd of course, Marvin

When was the full moon?

on Wed. here: https://www.moongiant.com/phase/today/#:~:text=The%20Moon's%20current%20phase%20for,is%20a%20Waxing%20Gibbous%20phase

Thanks, ahhh waning gibbous...maybe it'll be clear tonight finally!

Moonrise about 7:14 tonite, during your show maybe a little later to get above the "junk"

Yes, I'll do a sky survey before I depart the Barge this evening...

It's been a pretty good year, Perseids, Geminids, Saturn, Jupiter, and a few clear nights for the shows at the Franklin Institute...even got my shingles shots..etc..

And the Gävle goat has been picked nearly clean by the jackdaws. Still standing though.

...The "Naked" Gavle goat lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC_NDwdzwwc

...Take photos of the Goat Infrastructure,,and YES, you too can build your own Gavle Goat, (batteries not included)...

Last time you were really bummed out because of the snow obscuring the camera lens...

Yes, and they cleaned it beautifully by the next day.

I haven't been Partched for awhile. Thanks you, I needed it.

@ Readie:Stupid question: What finally happens to the darn thing???????

Dá Bəng Gôu: so glad you enjoyed that Partch-"ment!'

BTW, that percussion was kinda fun...

@Alan, I do not know the answer...most years it's not made it...but whatever happened last year, cuz I think it lasted...

@Alan-Harry Partch is a wonderment

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat

There's the scoop on the goat.

@Readie: the "scoop" says this year picked to pieces by Jackdaws. So this was the "Year of the Jackdaw" Iguess..

Yes, denuded by jackdaws. Actually, they didn't mess with the skeleton, thankfully.

I wonder if the hay they used had seeds in it or insects, because I don't think jackdaws eat hay, do they?

WIki "University" says seeds in hay..

...kinda like those seed things you hang in a cage for parakeets...

Ok, then that's it, but why did they only come this year?

GOODSTUFFS ! <3

Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi Guelo! I love Jizue!

@ Readie: Not all hay has seeds, somebody goofed!

Hey hey

@Alan LOL you said it!

...and if you pile wet hay too thick, you can set your barn on fire...

Hi there TAndy! When I used to say Hey to my aunt, she used to say "Hay is for horses". She thought it was crass- I say it all the time though. I loved my aunt though. Still.

( My Uncle was a farmer, that's how I know, stackin' bales)

That is really fascinating- wouldn't want to learn about that phenomenon first-hand!

You were a bale-stacker, Alan?

@ Readie: Yep! once upon a time...

Were there horses to ride?

Howdeeee, Here for HAY

@ Readie: Nope. Cattle..

Ahoy hoy, everyone!

Jimboooooooo! long time no seeeeeee! good to see you!

@Alan, you can still ride cattle, right?

Helloooo, O Righteous One

HAY Addie! welcome aboard!

Any snow to report??

...but there ain't nothin' like ridin' a horse at full gallop, it' like flying!!!

Jimboooo you are a sight for sore eyes!!!

Alas, rain rain rain and FOG! So much fog.

The chat summoned me with farm talk

Driving has been treacherous

Yeooooo

Oh wow- yes- fog! It must be kinda warm! Addie! I saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure recently--and he saved the snakes (spoiler alert!)

@ Readie: Ya gotta be BIG to ride Cattle, Here: https://www.deviantart.com/beautyandstrength/art/Blazing-Saddles-Mongo-s-big-ox-463786477

@Jimboooo- you have a farm right now?

Addie S&S Hallo!

Pee Wee also rides a bull in that one

I wish I were raised on a farm....

Hiya Alan! Hisses from the snake squad!

@readie I really need a shirt with a pic from that scene!

Small farm! Just the right size. Got some funny ducks, big garden. But grew up on alfalfa farm w horses, cows

Oh wow, Addie, He passes out as he exits the burning building with the snakes firmly in hand!

@Jimbooooo- sounds like HEAVEN! Horses!

@ Addie: Saving snakes here: https://californiaherps.com/films/snakefilms/PeeWeesBigAdventure.html

@Jimboooo, did you ride the horses a lot? Over the hills and far away?

Jimbo living better than all of us with ducks on his farm. Ducks are so chill 🥹

Wild Life!

I think they have "farm vacations" and ranch vacations too where you can work

@ Readie: Did you see Harrison Ford in the movie "Witness" says it all about farmers..

@Alan, I never saw the whole movie...only bits and pieces

crop circles?

@ Readie: At the end of the movie Ford thanks the Amish family for giving him a temporary home...the Amish farmer replies " You English think you're so smart, we kept you here during the harvest season" basically to work his ass off LOL

@Alan that’s exactly the screen grab I need!

@Addie: Thru the magic of a laptop!

@Alan- lol!

Actually a little bit ago, I thought I heard the Barge door open...and shut...but....

Suki Rae! 💛 & before that Mitski 💛

Glad you liked those tunes, Alan- Suki would be very happy to know!

What’s everyone doing for NYE? Ive got big plans to go to bed early 😂

@ Addie: It's Dana K and the chat for me..

Sounds like a solid plan, Alan! Maybe I’ll jump in there as well.

sl///////ce

New Years evening Readie Rainbow!

Beautiful image of Suki Rae like how it was beautiful talking to her, months ago here!

@readie oh darn! Sorry about your plans!

Hey, Readie! Green Bay fan club checking in. Relaxing after a very busy day and week, enjoying the great music. Keep it coming!

@Addie- it's okay, I was looking forward to hanging out- but you know, more important that they get well...

Hey Jeffry! Great to see you - I'm SURE it has snowed in Green Bay, right???

Hola

I think I missed the material trip...

Hola Rob!!!!

Rob! Que Paso?

Eagle pedaling up hwy 1 and Princeton Princeton, NJ. Where I met some brothers and sisters, and they were just walking around in the street, and I happened to drive by them in my bicycle, and they said, wait a minute. Why don't you come over and talk to us? So I pulled over my bike and got off and said, how do you do? And they really, you know, welcome you very warmly and shook my hand, and some of them even came up and hugged me. And I was really surprised all the love they had and all the joy

ai 4ya

@Anthony- ha! that's wild. After all these years laying that, I should know it by heart, but I don't think I do!

@ Anthony: Just wait until AI start to drive cars, and Actually Obey speed limits lol

Asimov's "I Robot" would be a good read about now, Psychologists for Bots..

Yes, Alan- one of the best of 2023!

Great drivin' tune!

Puddle of Mudd muscle of pud

Alan, I know, Right? I think I would put the pedal to the metal if this came on...

@ Readie: I think it would make me Incredibly Alert :)

I may have heard Mike Lupica play it...

Yeah, Mike likes it too- we chatted about it in his office one day- great album.

Hi Readie and Alan! I was out birding this afternoon and saw a Short-eared Owl and 2 Purple Finches. How are you two?

@ Readie, I like the Bobby Lee piece a lot.

@Rob- cool, glad you like it.

Killer set there Readie! Welcome to the weekend!

Sorry!! I got caught up in Wordle and Connections! Couple inches earlier this month, and some threats, but nothing significant. No complaining here!

50 deg. On Christmas Day.

Hi DSM! Thanks! Good to see you!!

Hi Jeffry- no! Just like here in New Jersey! 50 degrees on Christmas!!! Yikes!

@Jeffry, I do the Times puzzles every morning! You can really get lost in that "Connections" Really tough!! Isn't it?

Today’s was. I’m going to try the Mini crossword starting tomorrow. These games are addictive. Much to my To-Do list’s chagrin.

That is a BANGER

@Jeffry- I do the Mini- Spelling Bee, Connections, sometimes Wordle, sometimes Tiles, and that other word puzzle in the box...every morning...it's a great mind exercise!

A relaxing banger

This one, yes, Ossy ! How are you???? That Beatles cover by Yes blows my mind every time...

Nice to hear old Pink Floyd

Yes, Rob, Pink Floyd was one band my brother turned me on to- he usually followed my tastes growing up, but he discovered Pink Floyd and then I had to jump in...

love this one, this whole album is great

Pink Floyd does some really great Theremin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhRlmBSNjIE (For Later...)

Sure is, DSM - there's a ping in there that makes me think I got a text lol

Ha!

I retired so I wouldn’t have to exercise my mind! 🤪. They are fun to do.

And likewise I'm always happy to hear you on the radio too

@Jeffry- LOL- I'm just trying to keep ahold of it...

Wow! Where did the time go?! A very Happy New Year, Readie!

All skin was relevant.

Hey, here comes Rob.

Bro. Give me my two female dogs crashing your pads tonight. As we make our way from northern Maine Arista County down to Charleston, SC I mean, I knew we'd be there at two AM tonight.

Regardless, Dr Rob I'm gonna flip all the screening ketamine and move for the best as I. get behind the wheel of my jeep.
