@ Captain Ahab (host) Anatolia us nowwww !!! Sad that it's your 2nd-to-last regularly scheduled on WPRB, but all the sweeter and more treasured because it's the penultimate Desert Cruising. Thanks for so much!

Hi Captain Ahab! I am so sad my favorite WPRB show is coming to an end 😢 But I am definitely excited to hear your new show in future as DOCTOR AHAB!!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:11:42 AM
thank you DSM <3
Captain Ahab (host) 10:11:51 AM
aww thanks Debbie!
Mike Tropiano 10:14:27 AM
I've had to make a couple personal goodbyes and farewells recently, and I never feel that I do it correctly, but I usually just give free expression of my emotions. Your show, the space and community it creates, and you are a special part of my soul. I can't adequately express my gratitude. Sorry if I'm too over the top, it's how I roll.
Captain Ahab (host) 10:15:21 AM
Who brought onions into my office :'(
Captain Ahab (host) 10:15:53 AM
Thank you Mike, you all and this community are the main reason I ever put these shows together
Captain Ahab (host) 10:17:28 AM
It was and remains one of the best things I've ever done in my life, and it's going to continue for sure

Hello and Big Cheers to DJ Captain Ahab! Excited for Anatolian Hour(s)!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:21:10 AM
Morning Mr M!
Jason 10:21:40 AM
"and it's going to continue for sure"...that makes me happy.

This is JUST THE BEGINNING
Captain Ahab (host) 10:22:42 AM
I am older and wiser now, I have big plans for Desert Cruising Phase 2: Professor Edition mwahahaha
Captain Ahab (host) 10:23:07 AM
not wise, just wiser :P

Great selections to start the show!
Jon Solomon 10:35:21 AM
Forgot to join the chat and say "I'm listening" but here I am listening while databasing. Will miss this show very much!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:42:06 AM
hi Jon, thanks for dropping by!
Jon Solomon 10:44:43 AM
I'm downright locked in!
Richard of Rocky Hill 10:51:13 AM
@ Jon Solomon Me too! All the tracks have been outstanding this morning (as usual), and the last one Ersen ve Dadaşlar's "Yedin Beni" was truly stunning. My, my ...
TAndy 10:58:13 AM
Oh no :( say it ain't so. the final dessert cruise 3
Richard of Rocky Hill 11:02:10 AM
@ TAndy The second to last, I believe.
Captain Ahab (host) 11:02:56 AM
correct, next week is the last :(
TAndy 11:04:28 AM
Oh joy. One more week!! Lesgoooooo
Richard of Rocky Hill 11:09:00 AM
The last one, Moğollar's "Haliç'te Güneşin Batışı" sounded instrumentally _very_ Doors-ian. Released in 1970, at a peak of The Doors' career, before Jim Morrison's death, so the time period is right. Or maybe The Doors were actually rather anatolian ...?
Jon Solomon 11:23:54 AM
This Selda jam is a JAM.
Captain Ahab (host) 11:25:13 AM
this one's always a crowd pleaser

This show is a crowd pleaser‼️ Stay brilliant, DJ Captain Ahab‼️
Captain Ahab (host) 11:29:43 AM
thanks Mr M!
Richard of Rocky Hill 11:31:05 AM
@ Captain Ahab (host) Thanks for revealing the plot of the song in which a young auto mechanic has no hope of impressing a wealthy beautful female customer. Reminds me of the premise of a 2007 hit by country star Toby Keith, in which a young all-around repair guy at a very upscale garden condo complex is smitten by a new arrival, a beautiful high-class woman. But the fellow is forced to admit (in the song's refrain and title) that "A high-maintence woman don't need no maintenance man!"
Captain Ahab (host) 11:32:32 AM
Lol love that line
Richard of Rocky Hill 11:36:22 AM
@ Captain Ahab (host) Me too! That's wonderful about so many modern country hits -- they invariably have a killer "hook" that usually also serves as the song's refrain and title. Another example: "I Know What I Was Feeling (But What Was I Thinking?)" Probably similar for lots of pop music aroujnd the globe.

Thanks for all these deep dives in Anatolian rock, Cap’n
Captain Ahab (host) 11:57:59 AM
cheers friends, thanks for tuning in as ever
Mike Tropiano 11:59:08 AM
This must continue in some form, everything so far is so 60's and 70's focused. I need to hear how these sounds evolved.
Mike Tropiano 11:59:51 AM
That said, once again and always, immeasurable thanks to our curator, Professor Dr. Captain Ahab.
Captain Ahab (host) 12:00:44 PM
Thank you Mike <3
