Hi Readie! In the air.

Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Friday! So good to be back, although I’m in my home office in Green Bay looking out at a bunch of snow. Ugh!

Jeffry I was wondering what happened to all the snow we no longer get. It's been hiding up there!

Ohi. Some alien force woke me up early, but that means I get to listen to ALL of the Recherché

Just showed up last night. And there’s another few inches waiting in the wings. Not a happy camper!

It is rather cold up there at times. And by times, I mean a lot of them.

Morning TAndy!

As the saying goes; Green Bay has 2 seasons: 4th of July and winter.

Hey y'all! Transition from Number 6 complete!

Sup Roffle!

Hi Jeffry! Welcome back!

Hiya TAndy! good morning!

Hi Roffle! Welcome!

Winter -back with a vengeance- it's freezin' out there! Well, not exactly...

Love the Strav!

Great, Roff, but at the premiere of this piece, there was a riot...kinda like the classical equivalent to electric Dylan...except more violent...

I lived with The Rite of Spring as a teenager. I loved this piece so.

I know every rest. Thanks for that.

Sure thing, Roffle!

Hi Readie 🤩

Good to see ya, TAndy, how goes it?

Hi Readie Rainbow 🌈 🍀 🌞 🌸

Nice to see everyone settling in!

Hi Ossy! come on in!

Since it smells like spring, a Disney song from Bambi midquel! https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=9f58efb118f0a45e&q=first+sign+of+spring+bambi&uds=AMwkrPt3WrCCUIpuQZiXY0TM3Lr1Vll8z7aiHoBJkVYziz0uv5SF2nZ3eRMe7Mc2aOVStS9oMS6TpeCG0y1DXLygSibFlUPvUpKz7DCexjhFl2G_sZHVCBF5D2NSn5Vi4szEDsLAdlnjFNRZ2IshLC_F58PCfNbM3b1VLfBYoFdT717gm-CTvbPpOc1H1m0Ae8MkZNZnTZjsxZ4aB47R_lkkvUIgM1wkp_aD__Fp9X2f_IfnI-AvdgVmL67OW_g1VOWAh-AwV1mH0z_qHM6JE4P4UozL7UebqDU1Q1c08lB3w6yGsdgWdRpuk75RbR

Ossy is the one I would definitely trust about the smell of spring!

Ahhh, Bambi!

I think his nose has a brain like an octopuses arms. :)

Cute Disney 1930 - 50s movies, along with Snow White, Pinocchio, Lady and The Tramp and Alice in Wonderland etc

Rofflestomp LOOL

You have some unique skills my friend. :)

You also have 8bit ears. lol

8bit ears! cool

@Ossy, I have an original Alice in Wonderland wrist watch (no longer works) but it's a cool souvenir...I got it as a little kid and it was the coolest gift!!

lol

Looks like we won't be seeing the sun for a couple more days!!

Roffle- That's why wprb is more music, more variety like Red Alert Radio reggae station....wprb video game music broadcasts on a blue moon

Readie- Cute! Reminds me of the two crazy Mad Hatter and Hare who tried "fixing" The Late White Rabbit's watch with jelly, tea, smelly mustard loool

@Ossy- amazing memory you have! I forgot that one!!!

Suppose to be a hot summer. I will not complain until I need to run aircon in my cool down room all day.

Yeah, I hold off the AC for as long as possible...it's the first house I've had with AC that's not window units!

Seems a waste to cool the whole house when not living in all rooms at once!

Ossy, You are living proof that the chip culture is alive and well.

Watched Alice in Wonderland quite recently, Readie! Still cute as ever. Alice looks like a child Princess Cinderella btw

Agree! When I first got the watch, I couldn't quite figure if it was Alice or Cinderella...lol

I just keep the bedroom cold, and wander in if it gets too much, or to dry off when it's particularly humid.

@Roffle, good move, it's the humidity that gets me

Roffle- The old gen influences the future!

Agreed, bring the heat, but spare the moisture.

1st time at Disney World, speaking of Disney, in March, it was so hot and humid I couldn't believe it!

So true Ossy!

Readie - Even the Fairy Godmother (Pinocchio version) kinda looks to be an adult version of them

I lived a few months in the Freeport Texas area. Never again! I hate that wet oppression.

Speaking of Disney World, went there during the middle school days in the summer and in the hot weather down there, a mass myriad of people wearing long high socks

Ossy, Europeans?

Its also the time in March where high school seniors go off to Disney World for a week

Roffle - Just mass of randoms in Disney World, like it's a huge fashion trend lol

Gotcha

Peaky Blinders has some super cameo going on too. I have the first season on que, but am ready to binge it soon.

Yes, Roffle, the production values and acting are superb...I've just started it, and Cillian is amazing

That adds to the brightness of the green light that put it in my que. Thanks. Good to hear for sure!

Some shows take a while to grab me, but this was right out the box!

I love being hooked right in. The shows that do that and then the writers go out for lunch break my heart, but I hear good things about this one.

It is rather violent, kind of like a 1919 version of Breaking Bad...

But I never thought I'd get hooked on that one either...Better Call Saul was a no-brainer- love Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn

Love the Ethio tunes

Looks like tough skies for Alan at the Institute tonight! I hope it clears a bit for his event!

Hi Brian D- right up your alley, right? There are so many great comps!!!

https://abdallahoumbadougou.bandcamp.com/album/amghar-the-godfather-of-tuareg-music-vol-1

For some great music the other side of the continent:

I saw that, Brian, can't wait to dive into that one- love Tuareg

The godfather of Tuareg- !!

I gotta catch back up to Peaky Fook'n Blinders... I am somewhere in the middle maybe season 3 then... distractions happen. Love it. Cillian so good and rest of cast. Helen McCrory. Solid actors

This one has a noir-ish feel with the flute

Ya. Hypnotic. Loping wonderful rhythms

great grooves!

Addis was THE big happening spot. All the folks were flocking there for the night life back in the 60s or so.

Wouldn't it be cool to be there!

Took a couple drives to Jerz shore recently and of course Selecta Jerry was my co-pilot each time up and back. Last trip I did not even finish the podcast by the time I did the up and back... might be just under 5 hours.

Cool- Yeah the SOTC is about 4 hours 40 - that's cool. I'm heading down mid-August... should be great - during the full moon...

https://www.budamusique.com/en/catalogue/view/1211/dieuf-dieul-de-thies/

Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès - this is great too:

Thanks for the links, Brian - lots of good stuff to discover!

Wow, nice tide in.

https://williewrightnumero.bandcamp.com/album/willie-wright-telling-the-truth

A WPRB find of last few weeks. Willie Wright... so good. Smooth 70s unheard of soul

Roffle, 😉

70's soul is my sweet spot Bri! Thx for that!

I just looked out the porthole, and it's still light out! I love spring

Cool rnb

smoooooth, Ossy!

For earlier, like the Steal My Sunshine song, that I heard a few on wprb! ☀️🟡💛

@Ossy- yes, that is a real classic, it's so infectious! I figure we'll miss the sun with all the rain coming this weekend

Sure real! I mentioned something similar of that classic song played on wprb few times on a another show...and got my response deleted for no reason

? I don't know? 🤔

The Beatles brought this sound into Beatles style. Only fair that this goes the other way. Too funny!

Readie - Yeah beats me too 🤔

Speaking of sunshine, Roy Ayers Sunshine!

Roy Ayers, good shit!

Mary J Blige, sampled Roy Ayers Sunshine song for her My Life song!

Malachy and Frank were so great. Loved seeing them pop up on the late night tv shows. Great yarn spinners

Brilliant statement by Malachy without bothering with words.

@Ossy, I didn't know that about Mary J Blige!

@Aye, Roffle, 'tis true, a real wit was Malachy!

@Brian D, I do find myself with friends that weave tails with entertainment. I love them dearly for wonderful reasons for sure.

Readie - Oh yeah, it's lovely to hear, thats also how I found out of Roy Ayers's Sunshine, many years back!

@Ossy- yes - learning about diverse music is what you'll get here!

I love this ID 😍

NICE VIBE SHIFT 😎

Good ole Fran of FranLab made that ID

Readie - And the music is sparkling shiny like Patty Jackson's crystal sunshine teeth, LOL!

SPARKLE ON PATTY!

@TAndy YEAH!

I even know someone that looks very similar to her, even having the same teeth shine as her, as well personality!!!

I was just musing to Tobas earlier this week during his fill-in that I've been hearing her IDs less this season. Then noticed that every season, the regular IDs in rotation change up a bit.

It's been a real good while since I heard the Oi Polloi ID too, makes it all the more exciting when I hear it again 🤪

Yeah, TAndy, access to all those goodies changed a bit during the pandemic

Califone! YES!

Love this production...

Open tuning is such a nice free pass. It's the key under the doormat.

Was just thinking that, Roffle...and the voices can run free...

Yea, right on! It's open and inviting.

Today I was just reacquainting myself with the guitar, after too long away...it's like coming back to a dear friend

Cool!

Yeah, it's been too long...a lot of it comes right back...but the callouses take longer (lol!)

The first thing I do after an absence is tune down to D. LOL Makes the transition back go easier. :)

Roff, do you mean an open D chhord?

*chord*

I have tough finger tips, but the callouses are not quite what they were.and that's just fine for me.

Cutting the fingernails is first, of course

Yes, DADGBD, or DADDAD for me. I love those, but there are many others that just sing out too.

Cool, I am def going to try it! Can't wait!

My brother is getting into the 12-string recently...what a beautiful sound!

I love 12 strings, but I have not had one in may years. My teenage time girlfriend bought me one back in the day. I left it in Texas along with a ton of other stuff. Life move at silly speed sometimes.

what a nice gift!!

She was incredible! Went to Julliard, the whole nine. What a blessing of a friend.

Nice!

Luscious Jackson! So under rated!

agree!

Great Mercury Rev track there.

tysm for the show Readie 💙

Stay classic nothing beats the old classics that never lies Readie!

Thx ALL! lov yuz!!!

Great show Readie!~

Have a great week, Readie. Lived the show!!

Thanks Readie! Spring is a less snowy path! See you!

@ Readie Righteous (host) Great show, thanks!

Extra leg in the CHAI photo. Got it.
