Dropping the anchor song early! There must be an OTB window where you can bet when that might happen on a random Friday. :)

Hello Christine. I once auditioned to be a summer fill in for Number 6 . They were going to call the program Number Zero.
Valence Roffle 12:22:18 PM
@Patrick, The One Million Dollar Zimbabwe Note is still worth about $30, I wonder why they would send that back...

Greetings Tandy.I was so good at sleeping on the clock during midnight shift the USPS traded me to Serta
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:33:02 PM
Haha, Patrick is slipping bad bills, been doing it for years!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:34:10 PM
Hey Tandy! Welcome
Patrick White 12:35:37 PM
I was so insulted I tried to join that other Ivy League station but they kept asking for my car.
Brian 'D' for Donor 12:39:35 PM
Don't damage the stylus, don't water down the bottles, they parents will know
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:40:16 PM
Exactly, Brian!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:40:44 PM
I always said I didn't know anything about it.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:50:44 PM
Haha, Patrick, good one! Terrible!
Patrick White 12:55:18 PM
Automated laughs at all my jokes. My favorite DJ
pledge.Francis.Commie 12:56:44 PM
Very happy to NOT hear the lyrics to wives and lovers!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:00:31 PM
I HEAR you, Commie. Right on!
Patrick White 1:19:29 PM
Even happier Commie didn’t have to hear me sing Wivez and Lovers at our 7th grade CYO talent festival
Stephen Higgins 1:20:13 PM
Hi, got in a bit late today. Happy Jazz Friday with Jerry and the Cuckoo!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:21:58 PM
Patrick, I know you modeled yourself after famous male chauvinist Jack Jones
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:23:10 PM
Hi Stephen, Thanks for tuning in whenever. you do! ;
Patrick White 1:24:05 PM
I had to write Misogny is a Venial Sin 50 times on the Blackboard!

while getting hit by a ruler and enjoying it
Number 6 1:25:27 PM
What's up?
Number 6 1:29:24 PM
I finally got the facebook mess figured out!
Patrick White 1:30:28 PM
Gordski you should have seen the beat down I got when I switched the Sound of Music LP with Millie Jackson.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:35:45 PM
I bet! Millie Jackson is no Julie Andrews
Patrick White 1:40:27 PM
When playing Monopoly family members would cringe when I landed on Bacharach boulevard knowing I would sing this tune
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:43:22 PM
Haha, that was a cheap purple property
Brian 'D' for Donor 1:56:22 PM

Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:03:47 PM
Thanks, Brian! Jr. says pledge, and while you're at it, give me a treat
Number 6 2:12:13 PM
Pledgeaholics unite!
Brian 'D' for Donor 2:23:53 PM
Lover's Concerto was based on melody of Bach (*or Petzold really) Minuet in G. For some reason Mozart got associated with this song don't know why.... whisper down the lane maybe
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:27:02 PM
That's some good knowledge from you, Brian
Brian 'D' for Donor 2:28:20 PM
I did not know about Bach not actually writing it... just a notebook he published that included it but written by someone else. Bach's name gets associated with it. This Byrd's version is totally different wow... a re-recording later on maybe? No reverb all over. Does not sound like 65
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:28:58 PM
It's the original, but probably a remix or remaster
Brian 'D' for Donor 2:29:45 PM
Yeah. Drastically different. Like everything pulled back
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:31:55 PM
Patrick liked the Vogues! Not afraid of pop
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:38:14 PM
Brian, this probably sounds different than you are used to.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:38:31 PM
Mono record turned into stereo

The enthusiastic jimboo! Thank you, you excited and generous listener!
Number 6 2:40:06 PM
Jimbooo!
Brian 'D' for Donor 2:41:04 PM
Reading / searching that Byrds we heard today sounded like a 2020 stereo remix. Not the way it sounded originally in 65 definitely. Same backing track maybe but really different
jimbooomonthlydonorooooOoO 2:41:36 PM

Kevin L 2:59:43 PM

Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 3:01:03 PM
