Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Apr 5 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome, everybody, to Serenade to a Cuckoo! We will make you shake!

REPENT!! 🔔

Hahaha

Yep!

I assume you looked out the kitchen window to see what was happening?

Hi all, looking forward to another "Shaken and Quaken" show!

Harp sounds great. RIP Tootie Heath

I hope I deliver for you, Stephen!

Thanks, Brian!

I went to the window to see if there was a giant truck rolling by, or if a truck came off the road and possibly hit the house. It felt like an earthmover connected with the house and was pushing it. 🫨

How did you all fare?

Yup, I was looking for the tractor trailer in my driveway!

You always do Jerry!

Yep. Rumbling building. We had just received word that a large slow moving overload truck was blocking traffic all up and down the county today and yesterday. So we thought....hmm could that be the overloaded truck? But no....

Sure broke up the day and kept things interesting

Apropos 📈 〰️ 🔊 ⚠️

Queen of the icon

🙃

"Shakin All Over" I get it. We thought it was a trailer using air brakes.

Hey Rob, yep!

Earthquake! Eclipse! Trump! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FcaHsbfkHA8

It's all too much!

"Thaw that turkey now!" LOL @Russell

Theme song already at 12:19? Another harbinger?!

The cosmos required it

What's shakin. bacon

Makin' Bacon, man!

Ha!

🐦 🎶 Friday afternoon, official, etc.

Thank you, Christine... once we heard from you!

And Russ and Mike and Brian and Stephen

Hi! Nice to hear more promotion of the event Jerry. This is a good thing!

It was crazy last year. The huge tent was so neat and luxurious as giant tents go. Rudesh was wearing a killer shiny jacket. It was so disappointing that the rain and more alarming for an electrified tent, the lightning 🌩 called the afternoon to a halt.

Many people went indoors to Richardson Auditorium and listened to Rufus Reid & his band do their run-through in preparation of the evening concert.

Hi Roffle. Thanks for tuning in. You can't beat great jazz for free!

Wow, free water and electricity last year too like Christine said. Definitely gonna hop on the train this year though. :)

🆓️💯🆓️💯🆓️💯🆓️💯🆓️💯🆓️

In this economy, you can't beat it.

true that! nice icon work!

Glen McLellan longtime keyboardist for Ween! And latter day Blood Sweat Tears

Thank you, Russ. Thank you Brian, did not know that!!!

What a great set Jerry. 👍

hi jerry

Good day Jerry and everyone

the strange is muddys band played on the seeds lp a spoonful of seedy blues. one of the worst blues lps ever made. he even wrote the liner notes

also of note is that muddy did 45s not lps. all his 50s early 60s period is just that

Thank you so much Roffle, man of discerning taste!

Had the pleasure seeing him with Pinetop Perkins twice at Emerald City in NJ.

Hi Bruce, Hi Allan!

Very, very impressive, Mike. You were the MAYOR of Emerald City! Impressed you saw him there TWICE!

Great place to see a show

i always felt that muddy did to many slow songs

Mike, I am proud to tell you I drank whiskey with Pinetop Perkins out of his flask!

Bruce, we have some shuffles and harder stuff coming up!

kool daddy

with otis spann on piano and little walter on harp it dont get any better than that

Better late than never: Steve Turre will be performing at South in Philly on 4/19 & 4/20: https://www.southjazzkitchen.com/event/fri-april-19-sat-april-20-steve-turre-sextet-w-special-guest-andromeda-turre-700-930pm/

Muddy stopped by the parking lot booth and hung with Allan once when in Philly

Wow!!!

It was very casual!

oh yes a very overlooked lp is fathers and sons with butterfield, bloomfield sam lay duck dunn

Here you go, Bruce. Some good ones for you right in a row.

@Jerry-He gave me a copy of Electric Mud, and Everything gonna be alright

Happy Friday - Checking in Safe from the New Jersey Earthquake

I just tuned in. I suppose you mentioned that it was Muddy's 111th birthday yesterday.

man it time for sum 40s and popeyes fried chicken

xtra greasy

You have 3 and a half more hours

Guys from the band are on this track and the next one as well, taken from "The Woodstock Album"

This might be Paul Butterfield

its paul all right RIP butter

Amazing!

Hi David, yes, this is the Muddy Waters Birthday Show!

also muddys band was the first electric blues band very loud i was told

Interesting! Bold! Probably to be heard in the bars he played in

im sure there was more drinkin than talkin

I plan to go to the Muddy Waters Gastropub in Asbury when Deke Dickerson appears there in June. (Not Asbury Park, but Asbury: a different NJ town.)

Afternoon Jerry

David, that sounds absolutely fantastic! My kind of spot, I think!

Hi ossy, good afternoon! Did you feel the earthquake today?

Oh yeah, the after shake! Haven't felt that since the 2010s, one high school summer!!

Great show as usual! Happy Friday to Everyone

Love the mean dirty guitar from Pete Cosey on Electric Mud!!

Ossy, other people mentioned an earthquake around that time today. A while ago!

Great show!

Most other places in the world an earthquake is a cause for alarm, but not in New Jersey. It's meme's and drinks for everyone around the house. How to not love NJ sometimes is impossible.

A real scary long time ago, to feel something up in person, Jerry!

Great show Jerry! Happy Weekend all

Hey Mike O, thank you! Glad you enjoyed, have a great weekend

Thanks Jerry! When the blues are fun you know it's gonna be a good day. Have a great weekend!

Jay the Saxophonist?

Roffle, what you said was so profound I am speechless. That needs to appear elsewhere!

Jay the guitarist....

Fantastic show today & excellent interview, Jerry!

I bet, Ossy!

Chuck D reunited the "Electric Mud" musicians in the 2003 Scorsese-produced PBS miniseries "The Blues".

Backatcha, Brian!

Ahh, well thank you Jay for listening and commenting!

Thank you, Christine

Excellent info, David
