Welcome, everybody, to Music You Can't Hear On the Radio! This is Jerry Gordon, sitting in for the irreplaceable John Weingart for the next two hours! Happy Easter!

Oh great ! Instead of John we get 2 hours of Music No one wants to hear on the Radio!

Hahaha! Love it!

I through out a good PW quote yesterday. One is the sound of one hand clapping?

A tribute to Marshall Dillon. Any covers by Festus or Miss Kitty?

I prefer Miss Kitty

Could be my favorite Dylan composition!

Surprised how long that show lasted. Great job by Big Jim Arness.

It was all about Miss Kitty

Thank you for showing up, Patrick

I remember the show jumped the shark when Marshall Dillon and Festus tracked down the Manson Family

Yes, Festus finding them and bringing them in was not credible

Hello everyone. A rolling stone gathers no moss

😊-how’s that for my sneaky request

Heya, Jerry G!

I like it! Allan, is the "Chinese Restaurant" of radio shows today?

I requested Mrs Miller but as usual Jerry shot me down

Hi TAndy, so nice to see you again.

Guys, I just discussed this version last night, a "bonus track" on a CD

@Jerry-lol

Allan, you laugh at all my jokes! Now you have to laugh at Patrick's!

Yow!

Allan said he will … as soon as I say something funny.

You know which version of Like a Rolling Stone I’m talking about Jerry???

Actually I don't, Allan, but I have one scheduled!

@Patrick-you just did LOL 😂

I could do the Kinky Friedman takes Bob to Yom Kippur routine

Oh, I need to hear that one!

Jimi - does that help?? 😁

Does it matter that it is the next song?

Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jew Boys???

I know about you!

Bob was in Texas called kinky if he knew where he could find a Yom Kippur service that he could take him ,

Kinky called the rabbi said he wanted no publicity.

Rabbi calls Bob up to do the readings or incantations

@Patrick-for real?? You must be kidding

He had Dylan come over and they broke the fast with a bagel and lox.

Thank You Jerry my main man

Big time number one donor says to the rabbi afterward.Rabbi I was so angry you didn’t select me for the reading

But then he said he was so overwhelmed that you chose that homeless man

Grooooovy 💜💜💜

Patrick must be half to 3/4 Jewish. Here is where Jimi calls Noel Redding his grandmother

Hi Christine! Yay!!!! Happy Easter, thanks for being groovy with us!

@jerry-haha grandma

Greetings to Christine

Hi Christine

Patrick was away, Christine, but he's back with some new material

Yes, Jimi called Noel Redding his grandmother (hair)

Tomorrow is DYNGUS Day an invasion of Polska in my neighborhood. The corner bar has a big festival

Maybe I can get Dan BUSKIRK to play some polka music

Sounds like waaay fun to me! Seriously!

Christine, did you have a nice day?

Hi Jerry, Patrick, Allan, TAndy & all!

heya christine and everyone

Don’t forget Gordski at 7 pm John does a 10 minute segment on MLB scores and highlights

Good request, @Allan.

Greetings Tandy now all we need is Ambrose and the three Ricks

I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd once at an Experience Hendrix gig. Man-he was very good

I almost gave up on the Phillies already, yelling "Those bums!"

My day's been very relaxing, @Jerry. How about you?

here's one :). sounding grrrreat, Jerry!

@Christine-thanks

Where’s Vildachaya?

Yes, I paid bills and then my dogs went hunting for Easter eggs made by Purina

happy Sunday all!

Hi Richard, thanks for being here, how are you?

all's good here😊

Is that a Jack Russell?

walker hound - coondog

Jerry we have more Richards in this time slot than Patrick’s at The Shamrock Club.

Wasn’t this the 4 Seasons with a different name?

The You Know Who group?

🍀HA, Patrick🍀

Oh goodness! What's all this then? lol Just tuned in...

Yessir, Roffle, a Four Seasons show!

Hey Roffle 👋

Happy Easter

This track is the grooviest track I will play today

Happy Easter and all good things too!

Happy Easter to Roffle

I was close-The Wonder Who group. It’s only been 60 years since I’ve heard it

Grooviest of groovy organ solos 💯

We have at least 3 Irish groups in the next two hours, probably more. We will have that chronicled by Patrick

Love it Jerry! Totally nice! Very happy Easter you guys!

@ Christine 💯

And at least three Irishmen and woman in the chat as we speak!

Allan heard them at The Second Fret

Groovy organ solos are timeless!

It's a thing!

Reminds me of my good old days on Carnaby Street

A priest ,a rabbi and an Irish Jerry Gordon listener walk into a bar

Hahahaha! It would be a whole group

Sandy Denny!

Sounds like an awkward wedding invite list.

That's 4 Irish guys

Grandpa G, thanks for setting the mood for Mila's dinner

Hi Russ!

Russell! Nailed it! I heard when you mentioned it only.

4 Irish men . What time does the fight start?

You inspirational guy, you

Hi Josh, Liana, and MILA! Yaaaay!

@Russell 👍

What a beautiful version by Fairport

&Russell-loved her with Fotheringay too

Russ bought all his Fairport Convention LPS at the hardware store

Jerry has a thousand of ‘One of my favorites’

This show is gonna be too small, needs a bit more "room" me thinks, but this is good.

The owner of the hardware store had no idea what gems he had in that $1.99 cutout rack!

OMG, THE IMPORT CUT OUT RACK! My favorite thing in the world! Extinct beast...

No 1.99 cutouts at Third Street .Except for the Jimmy Sturr polka lps

I used to buy new LP’s for $2.99 for years when the dinosaurs walked in Philly

Everybody here is a comedian. But Patrick is right, what a memory. Russ waited for record deliveries to his local hardware story in SW Philly, grabbing the hits before anyone else could scarf them up. He NEVER told the owner he was selling too cheap.

Yes, cutouts, they gave our lives meaning

Electric sitar! Pedal steel!

Allan, as Roffle said, we are old enough to have bought albums at Sam Goody's with the Inquire ad for $1.99 The rest of this group started at $2.99.

This is so great. I believe this was a special guitar that sounded like a sitar, but not positive.

We went into the cutout rack innocent and came out wonderfully jaded.

Haha. From that moment on we had expectations!

It felt like stealing!

Great Joan Baez song 💕

Roffle and the rest of this group scavenged cut out racks like lean hyenas

That’s what Ian Drury said when exiting Jerry’s store

Gotta get there quick, but back in the 70's no one was paying attention really.

And dollars cost more relatively.

Joan Baez was doing official going away concerts last year. look for her to be doing new shows by 2025

@patrick-lol. Takes groups 6 times to say goodbye

with Elton John and Ray Didinger and Cher

@Patrick, It ain't goodbye until it's on a musicians tombstone. Or at least I hope not.

I think the Byrds did 10 Or 11 Dylan songs ??

@Roffle-haha. That one tickled

At least!

I was wrong. The Byrds did 20 Dylan songs. And here they are

1 Mr. Tambourine Man 2:33 2 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 3:05 3 The Times They Are A-Changin' 2:17 4 You Ain't Going Nowhere 2:34 5 Lay Lady Lay (Alternate Version) 3:18 6 All I Really Want To Do 2:02 7 Chimes Of Freedom 3:50 8 My Back Pages 3:08 9 Just Like A Woman 3:24 10 This Wheel's On Fire 3:56 11 Nothing Was Delivered 4:45 12 Positively 4th Street 3:10 13 Spanish Harlem Incident 1:57 14 Lay Down Your Weary Tune 3:30 15 It's Alright Ma, (I'm Only Bleeding) Producer – The Byrd

There’s 5 more-ran out of space

Thank you, Allan, need the other 5

I have childhood friends who play all Beatles with the original instruments. The Instruments they own are worth insane. But their genius playing compliments it. Love that kinda stuff.

Joan Osborne! 💘

A superior Dylan cover.

Great covers are pretty great, 'cause o the love.

Roffle, what fun they must be! I love competent old guys who used to play Louie Louie performing today.

Christine, Joan Osborne, the best!

@Jerry-i cant find that list now. I’ll keep looking

That's ok, Allan, I will look in Wiki or try AI

It seems that Dylan never recorded Love Is Just A Four Letter Word.

That is interesting history. I wonder where it came from

wonder if LOVE ever performed it

Oh they are fun Jerry. Really smart too. You could talk with them for hours on lots of stuff for years. People are so cool.

I like that stuff. I like old guys who still get together and play music from the British invasion to their junior high classmates.

The best parties!

Who knows who this is?

Should be easy

@ Patrick-no, they did not as far as I know. I love LOVE

How about Mike Love?

Allan, that was a failed patrick joke

See?

Always trying out new material

Thanks Buddy 😂😂😂

More Sandy Denny?

Nope. Judy Collins

No, a Russ staple from the hardware store

No love for my comedic attempts

So many great lines from this song.

“I started out on Burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff.”

An Irish guy, a Jewish guy, and Patrick dressed like Henny Youngman walk into a bar

NIce. Okay, there it is. Hear it now.

Did Jane Olivor do any Dylan? The record honchos thought she was going to be big

@Russell-Google Language Watch Edit "Love is Just a Four-Letter Word" is a song written by Bob Dylan, first recorded by Joan Baez, who has recorded and performed the song numerous times throughout her career.[1

@Allan - “Baez’ 1968 recording was also released as a single that appeared on the pop charts in 1969. Dylan himself never recorded the song.“

The Four Seasons do the Residents? Cool!

@Russell-got it 👍. I misread your post. I thought you said he didn’t write it -sorry

I saw Rick Nelson at the Main Point before he passed over. Good gig

Fairport also recorded “If You Gotta Go” but in French: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YWI29hIqIxY

Elvis

@Russel, I love the Canadian bands that do French and English renditions. I find myself enthralled by the French versions

Russ is very big on that track. And yes, Elvis.

@Russell-whoa 👏

I also enjoed The Four Seasons perform the Kraftwerk Songbook

Wait! What?

Your smarts man! I had no Idea about that!

Or....

Rod Stewart did a nice cover of this.

@Roffle-he must be yoking

Boil that egg hard. lol

@Roffle-tee hee

Egg-zactly

Gordie you owe Colonel Parkers estate 21$ for playing that tune

Allan still rereads his Zap Comic Books

Sorry Jerry I always considered Frankie Vallee a junior varsity Lou Christie

Haha, Lou Christy hit the higher notes!

Jerry Crumb by any other name-is still a Crumb

Liu Christy did have a better falsetto IMO

Lay Baby Lay

Great job pinch hitting tonight Gordie. A real Greg Gross/Del Unser/ mike rogodzinski/ Doug Clemens/Smoky Burgess /Tony Taylor performance

No Byrds-I’m sad 🙁

The ultimate compliment, Tony Taylor! Allan, hold your horses

Thanks for being here tonight Jerry. Goes quick as always though. Dylan deserves plenty of covers for sure. Good stuff!

@Patrick-Ed Bouche, Stosh Lapatta, Johnny Callison

Dave Philly

@Jerry- you almost blew my high 😝

I’m high again

@Jerry-grast show as usual. Thanks. I’m happy

Great

Allen I rolled one tonight for sure. lol

No, Allan, you've been high since Monday

Everybody here, thank you, you are all the best!

@Roffle-dont bogart my friend

SUPER SHOW!

Never Alan, just glad to be here.

@ Jerry - now it can be told I’m 3/4 of a century old, and a half a century high

These two hours flew fast. We're used to a three hour show! Thanks Jerry, and take care everyone!

Thank you, Richard, I appreciate that!

Joan Osborne 💕💕💕

Christine, for you!

Aw shucks. Thanks!

And here’s a fake Dylan cover of the Beatles: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho0vIGP9JLA

Thanks, Jerry!

Thank you, Russ!

Woops, thanks for the show DJ Jerry G! A pleasure to hear you on the airwaves today :)

THanks, TAndy, for listening and enjoying. Always great to see you!
