Music

With Wilbo

Whirlwinds of stylistic indecision coalescing into a linear kaleidoscope of musical superimposition.

TAndy, be safe and have fun!

Oh yeah don't forget it's Wawa day. Free cup of coffee any size ya want

Ride on Josephine!

🚗

Thank you for the recurring pledge, Steve!

Has anyone suggested George Thorogood & Destroyer to Dan Bejar?

STEREOLAB❣️

Daimler and Benz

Shoot, I was trying to play along

I laughed when this one came on, did not know it was up next!

George Thorogood & Dan Bejar cover Kiss' "Destroyer" lp

Any 2 wheeled vehicle songs in the coming hours? A speeding moto.. something or other....

Light em up if ya got em

I just HAD to stop at Checkers on the way to the shore. It's a requirement.

Here at the shore righ bout now... nice and sunny. Maybe lil less temp than yesterday but still great. B-walk walkin soon after lunch

Might run into you, I'll have PRB blasting on my portable speaker 😎

Ocean sparkling like a big ol sheet of alum foil shaking slightly

Ran it though the English to Banquish translator just now and it checks out.

Lap 1: Qualifying! 🏎️⛽️

Killer joke!

I missed it? My EnterWebs glitched

Honestly I'm quite banquished by that quote Jon

Don't mail them w teeth please

are we there yet?

Off we go! 🇩🇪

outstanding

Knox Harrington?

#1 jam right here

KRAFTWERK ❤️‍🔥

Richard, I saw your note and have entered that info accordingly.

🫡

Is that a '69 Tempest repainted in some unholy shade of blue?

If YOU want to donate while we're on the Autobahn visit pledge.wprb.com. Wilbo and I can't wait to thank you on-air!

Bill always tells me that the Autobahn was inspired by the Merritt parkway in CT. It's probably true but if it's not, it's on him

Pontiac LeMans. yeah, def not factory paint. Closest I could find. It was a hardtop convertible. Not legal on the Autobahn

Also this is not a request but this show is calling to mind Eisenhower is the father of the interstate highway system by beat friends forever

I think you're thinking of the Clint Eastwood movie, The Bridges of Merritt Parkway

I would watch that movie

What was the Tempest? A jazzed up LeMans?

Last time I was on the Merritt I nearly got hit by a car going the wrong way on my side of the highway, To Live & Die In LA style. Was terrifying!

That would be LeMans featured on Dan Buskirk's show

I think the last time I was on the Merritt, I needed a bigger boat

Sorry, Jon. I didn't know that was you.

I think the other 2 suits are cups and um ladders. Yeah. Cups and ladders that's it

♣️♦️🃏♥️♠️

No you can't

No need to be sorry!

You need special deck or... make one using multiple regular decks

What is it again... all 9s through aces only? And then some?

Euchre?

Double Tanks to DJ Wilbo and DJ JonSolomon!

Tanks IV Pledgin'.

All 9s through aces in all suits but 2 of each for 48 card deck

Jon Lord!

Isn't that a pinochle deck, Brian?

A double euchre deck

Ya that was Wilbo's on air question Dan

Ahhh. Musta been just before I tuned in

"Can you play pinochle with a regular deck?" Was his q

Ritchie Blackmore! Double tracked!

Ritchies Blackmores!

WPRB: always driving at mach 103.3

I know we don't have a "goal" for today's excursion, but four more donations would get us to a lovely number. Thanks to all who have given so far! pledge.wprb.com

Welsh Drive ! Mr Edmunds

Lol I am at my automechanics right now!

I knew the too fast song would be highway star!

The honk they got on the saxes. Jan & Dean's version of "Barbara Ann" has a great low honkin' sax.

The WPRB song that always makes me drive too fast -- but especially when I first heard it -- is/was 'The Metal East' of Lightning Bolt. But I wish it were 'Sex Drive' by The Embarrassment. Or maybe that's my song request? @Wilbo -- Was it last year during the spring drive that you played Peter Ustinov's 'Grand Prix of Gibraltar' in its entirety? I'm requesting that as well. {*but no pressure*}

That's a good one, Teresa.

Bertha Benz invented brake pads, and financed the manufacturing for Karl!

Neu "Hallo Gallo (turn left mix) " - a wprb classic moment. Or was it turn right?

@Readie -- Interesting! Let's hear it for Bertha Benz!

A fine DJ played that on a Wednesday eve about 2 yrs ago

Asked and answered!

YAY!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! <3 <3

Yes, Teresa! The unsung hero, spousal unit of Karll

*Karl*

Lap 2: Invigorating! 🏎️ 🛞‼️

What, did I spell my own name wrong on the form?

You did but I thought that was on purpose. All solved!

@Jon -- Good one! Man, I wish I could ad-lib like that. Or even with a long lead and many hours of practice.

Jon Solomon, You too Wilbo, I was just on my hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor and I had a great idea. If you play the "Thong Song" I'll send you 20 bucks tomorrow.

Swedish 👨‍🍳: “Vert Der Ferk”?!

It's the John Cage racing car opera

Make it 25 and I'll read the lyrics instead?

A reminder that Wilbo is but two pledges away from his show goal today! We could get there before this (incredible) piece ends! pledge.wprb.com

BAM!!!!!!

Chefffffff!

Haven't heard Renault yet.

Some epic rolled rs

With stereo panning!

Wow! Where else but WPRB?!

That running to the studio reminds SCTV

Vic Arpeggio is a great name for a hardboiled music detective

Careful, it's easy to mess those up...

Can I give you my crypto wallet address? It accepts all funds

Wooo! 🥳

I was so close!!

The Crunchmeisters!!!

I was going head to head with you Jon! 😝

I think there's a way to get in under 60 seconds if i make sure I'm already logged into PayPal previously and I have auto-fill enabled (like on my phone). Next time!

See you here tomorrow, Readie!

Wallis! Yes!

A twist on the iron DJ idea: Iron Pledging where we get as many people to pledge in under 60 seconds as possible. And go!

15 minutes left with Wilbo this Membership Drive! Honk! Beep!

Oh, yeah! Tomorrow at noon, Jon!!!!

One more pledge on the final turn of Wilbo's drive drive would get us to 12 total donations and would be a SENSATIONAL way to wrap this all up. pledge.wprb.com.

Jon Solomon, You too Wilbo, I just finished the kitchen floor and I'll send you 30 bucks when my disability check comes in on the third just for thinking about the "Thong Song" don't tell my wife.

Ooh that pledge so scandalous / And you know another Wilbo couldn't handle it...that's as far as I got Billy.

The check is in the mail.

For those of you on the fence, just think of this as Spotify that doesn't suck and pledge. I happily give my money to PRB every month. Spotify will never get a dime from me.

Well said, Ross.

We're not quite done but Nora and Purple Duck are up next!

Excellent show, Wilbo and Jon! Thanks!

Oh that was so much fun. Thank you all!!

Thanks Ross! You're the best!
