Welcome to Serenade to a Cuckoo & Jerry's Room, everybody! Happy Father's Day!

Happy Friday Jerry!

Thank you, Christine, back at you!

How IS your Friday so far?

So gorgeous outside!

Very good here. I'm listening with few interruptions! 📻 🎶

Nice!

Really liking the new Kamasi Washington album.

It is exquisite as is your musical taste

Keep on cookin Jerry

Hey Adam, thank you for your visits and for listening!

This mood 💯 ✨️

Glad you are liking and hearing it

I love the sound of Ra in the afternoon!

Exotic, too! Hi Russ, thanks for chiming in!

Here's some more for ya

🎶 🐦 theme song time

It's officially Friday afternoon now.

Thank you, Christine!

Thanks for that version of "Song for My Father." It almost sounded like Pharaoh Sanders!

Joseph Renini, thank you for listening. Pharoah Sanders DOES appear on that album under the pseudonym "Little Rock"

Good afternoon everyone

Hi Allan

Hi Mike

Hi Allan, I almost emailed you but didn't want to bother you..

Hi Mike, thanks as always. I hope you enjoy the show and have plenty of comments to make!

You could always email me - no bother

By 1968, I started to cool out on purchasing singles because I was buying albums. I only have 4 of the songs I'm playing today on singles.

Somebody buy me a cheeseburger!

There it is!

In his prime, there was no one better than Steve Miller IMHO

The Who went from Mod to Psychedelic to Rock-and were successful with each

Good comment, Allan

A psychedlicized rock song-Summertime Blues

Apropos to nothing: Pianist/composer Kris Davis is performing her Solastalgia Suite with the Lutosławski Quartet at Solar Myth in Philly tonight: https://www.arsnovaworkshop.org/programs/kris-davis-lutoslawski-quartet/?mc_cid=645179e5dd

I know this is insignificant but I had to correct a statement I made, I have 7 of these singles

Pianist/composer Kris Davis

Russ, I had the show in my notes to announce, all the info, a track to play, and I ran out of time.

I'm 0 fer so far

Did you buy many singles?

What I could....allowance was twenty five cents a week so there's that

I did not buy singles. I have maybe 6

Three weeks to save up!

Well we only played 5 tracks. I had the Amboy Dukes as a single, and the Vanilla Fudge wasn't on an album until after the fact.

I do have the Dukes album however....and this one too

Mike, you were always short!

I'll pay you Tuesday....

Allan, you never bought a motown single or a beatles single?

For a hamburger today. I can dig it, but you were never Wimpy

Lothar - used to see them at The Trauma

I bought He’s a Rebel - my only R&B single

You did NOT have this single!

Haha Russ, I didn't, just the album you are right!

I never bought a Motown single...however my Mother bought me My Cherie Amore for some odd reason

Zappa in his doowop guise.

Allan I never had that pleasure, but I did see them at a psychedelic club on Long Beach Island and I will remember the name of the club before the show is over. I don't even remember the theremin!

I spent a lot of time at The Factory, The Trauma, The Main Point, and The 2nd Fret

What a nice mother! She must have heard it on the radio and wanted to give you a special gift!

And The Spectrum

You're the man, Allan. All your credentials are in order, absolutely.

Mike also, he put together a collection on twenty-five cents a week!

@Jerry-LOL

hey all

Hi Bruce

Bruce, you're a genius! You are here!

got it to work

I"m glad!

Pappalardi had a nice producer’s touch

thers a demo of summertime blues with extra break and better than the relleased version

DID NOT KNOW THAT!

remember that lbi club, i was only 14 and they wouldnt let me in.

the mad hetters from wash dc were plaing

playing

steve miller never did a a great total full lp. always mixed bad to good

mad hatters

sorry ginger baker sings pressed

AND YES PAPPALARDI

Speaker separation was a Psychedlic thing

Ok.....I HAD this one....was broken

Bruce, it didn't sound like Jack Bruce so I looked it up on Wiki or somewhere and they said Jack Bruce. I am embarrassed.

Wait....this wasn't 1968....right?

bubble puppy was in the top 10 here in march 69

That's what I remember

it was a b side first

Everything here was released in 1968 according to my crack investigative skills

I bought this one because it wasn't on the album (first)

There you go, Bruce!

I think the 13th Floor Elevators coined the term ‘Psychedelic’

graces voice could melt ice

Allan, interesting!

Hi Jerry! Like this hour🤗

...interesting factoid.

I liked Grace with The Great Society

Hey Ambrose, good old 1968. I'm with you!

yes allan they did. their first lp cut in jan 66 but not issued till sept 66. the first pysch lp.

the great society rule

I don't remember any of these ...I was only one year old😜

Humphrey Osmond coined the word but it had nothing to do with music

@Bruce-I loved them then and still do

i must be a witch oh yea

fred cole on vocals

Did he release subsequent albums?

no they were first called the weeds

Town Hall 1967- The Doors and Nazz

RIP STEW

Yes-RIP Stew

indeed

✨️ 1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣8️⃣ 🎶

Our souls are psychedeli-sized!

all KILLER no FILLER

@Christine-Time has Come Today

Can't help but wonder how hard it would have been to track down the original unique mono mixes of these songs

@Allan, right on!

mike not hard at all. RIP arthur kenny bryan

Great show Jerry. The great Arthur Lee and LOVE
