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

Hi everybody. Happy Independence Day weekend, and thank you for listening to Serenade to a Cuckoo!

Hi Jerry, hearing you two days in a row! A very special treat.

Hi Alex, thnks for being here. I hope I don't disappoint! But I think you will like!

Love this track, especially the middle!

It's that time again....Hi Jerry, Russell, Alex & all!

Gonna be in the kitchen away from the keyboard. But the plus side is I'll be piping you through the stereo speakers. Here's a helpful life hack before I move. Peel the garlic AFTER you fold the laundry. Hi Christine.

Right on, Russ! A classic!

Hi Christine! I figured you'd be biking down the shore today! Great to see you.

Oh Jerry 2 days in a row

Alex, that life hack is ready to go viral on the internet

I wonder why Maria Booker broke down like that? Powerful!

Adam the go-getter! Hey Adam, great to see YOU 2 days in a row!

Russ, was that the woman who sang with Albert Ayler?

Pleasure is all ours Jerry.

Thanks Russell great read

@ Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) Lovin' the Brazilian interlude ...

Maria Booker, Walter Booker’s wife. Not Mary Maria Parks, Albert Ayler’s wife.

Hey Richard! I'm glad you are enjoying and that you love such a wide range of music

Thanks, Russ. That was all very interesting. Never knew any of that!

Hi Jerry - Hope you're beatin' the heat. Caught the classic Philly Gumbo this week in a free concert in the park. This is the season where you can see free music almost every night between the various concert series. about 30% get cancelled because they are scheduled for when the evening storms sometimes blow in.

This is perfect caipirinha-mixing music 🇧🇷

We were remembering a wonderful concert at the Blue Note with Airto, Flora Purim, and Toots Thielman - It was heavenly

Hey Vildachaya, you are swinging! What a great band and great people comprising Philly Gumbo! And that Blue Note concert sounds HISTORIC! Nice special memory. Love them!.

VC, thanks for listening.

Christine, you are the greatest. From beers and shots to sophisticated caipirinhas at noon, you are swinging!

This is the 1957 version of Blakey's A Night In Tunisia which most people haven't heard. Classic

Percussion for Christine!

Thank you! I and many Cuckoo listeners are big fans of percussion.

Disclosure: I'm working, and don't have the requisite cachaça to make caipirinhas anyway. But it's a great thought.

...for the record

How do you make the third c in cachaca?

Greetings to Gordski and his followers.Sitting steps away from Jerry’s ancestral home at Third Street Jazz

To type that cedilla, I long-press the "c" key on my phone screen. Then all the variations pop up.

Chico Hamilton was a Will Constantine favorite

Patrick, is the hot dog guy still on the corner?

Patrick, you may be the most active of all Cuckoo listeners. Coctails al fresca at 3rd and market on a Friday afternoon!

I believe he now sells locally sourced vegan tofu with a side of humanely murdered chickens.

Actually Jerry I am sharing a bottle of ripple with some guy in an alley near Strawberry street.

There's that theme song...! 🎶 🐦

Haha, that's my Patrick!!!

And thank you icon-master Christine!

Not sure why they call it Old City Jerry since every other building is a shiny new condo

rahsaan would be proud of erics version of cuckoo

Thanks for the info Vilda.cant believe I missed that show.i usually attend most PASTORIUS Park concerts

Sorry to be a Mister Know It All - But at the Airto concert he taught us how to pronounce his name by doing a little mime- Eye, Ear, Toe...

Bruce, how the hell are you?

Patrick, when Bruce and I were down there back in the day there were broken windows and pigeons. And that was just my store!

Thank you, Mr. Chaya!

Everybody is in on the act Jerry. Saint Augustine Church renting out pews during the week for Air bnbs

Kid Creole actually wrote Stool Pigeon as a tribute to your store

Haha. The third and fourth floors were disease-laden and suitable for an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

And the basement smelled like Spectrum rock concerts

Love it!

Woody Shaw on my list for underrated artists

He was a great one. Recorded with Dolphy as a very young man

i am very lonely without my wife being here but i am tryin

as 4 the store it was one of the lase REAL record stoes.

Bruce, your musical knowledge is encyclopedic and your appreciation for all types goes very deep!

Glad you're hanging in!

Afternoon Jerry 🔴⚪🔵

Hi Ossy, happy independence Day weekend!

My dogs wouldn't go outside today, Allan!

It doesn't matter who sings this song, it's fantastic

you must check out the best blues lp by collwell winfield blues band cold wind blues from 68

Bruce, you've been telling me to do that for years. Maybe in 2024 I will find it

I hear ya, Jerry. Our pets are smarter than humans

its on verve folkways

The videos to this concert are available on YouTube and they are alot of fun. Everybody, including the vocalists, are having a ball

I put out bowls of water for the birds in addition to their food. They’ve been drinking a lot.

How thoughtful! They drink out of bowls on the ground?

The squirrels are the bane of my and the local bird community's existance

The Frankie Beverly Maze farewell show in Philadelphia yesterday was fireworks awesome I heard and expected!!

Yes. The little ones stand on the rim. The larger ones stand on the ground.

Bonnamassa is a killer!

Nice, Ossy! I know you were looking forward to that; nice to see good music presented.

ALlan, I will do that after this show

@Jerry-that’s good of you. Most don’t think about feeding them water

@Bruce- I just downloaded the track cold winter blues from Napster. I’ll listen to it later

check out godiva and t road

They only have the one track. Napster’s funny that way

the simi legal on arkama has 3 unreleased trax

cd

Loads of people dedicated, especially Patty Jackson of course! Cookouts on the hill too

Beautiful! It wasn't too hot, Ossy?

I also watched a pbs special July 4th event hosted by Alfonso Ribero(Fresh Prince's Carlton Banks) and the singers: Fantasia, Smokey Robinson, Sheila E, Darren Chris, Sister Sledge etc

Outside was great!

This is the late James Harman. BRILLIANT

How was Sister Sledge?

Tremendous as always, and so was Fantasia

i got rid of all my lps 45s cds of black blues in 94. all pre 1970 cause i just couldnt relate anymore. cant collect everything

Ossy, what did Sister Sledge and Fantasia perform, do you remember?

Nice slow blues!

Just got back from the kitchen where I have this show up on the stereo. OH MY GOD ! The MUSIC! Not the car stereo version!

OK I'm better now. Sorry to the informed chat crew. Just a listener here losing his mind over good music. Could not be contained.

Thanks, Alex. Glad you are a man of refined taste and I thank you!

Media is rockin'!

Multi-Media, it sounds like!

killin it today Jerry!!

Haha, thanks Lance! High compliment coming from you!

Your discerning ear from the family couch is greatly appreciated.

@ Christine😆 @ Jerry🤘🙂🤘

Thank you! Have a great weekend all.

Thanks Alex

Fantasia performed I recall one of Stevie Wonder's songs(forgot) and Sister Sledge did their classic We Are Family

Sister Sledge used to come into my store, and when they did, I would just melt and act like a little boy

Thank you, Jerry! Another excellent edition of Serenade to a Cuckoo in the books. 💯

Sister Sledge performed Clap Your Hands and Fantasia did "Superstition"

Take care, everybody and stay cool 🥵

Thanks for listening today, everybody. Christine, greatly appreciated.

Great show Jer!! Luv the Blues! Great pics as always..Happy Fourth of July wkend!!

I recall Jerry saying SS came by your store and it's one in a million joyful occurrence!!

Thank you, Sheila! I hope you have fun this weekend. I really appreciate your listening and your comments!

Ossy, Bruce, Russ, Allan, and everyone thanks for listening.
