With Readie Righteous

Readie!! ☀️

SUPPER TIME SERENADE!!!!

No way its been a week 🤩

Just set my alarm reminder for next Thursday ❣️

Thanks, James! a smoooth transition we shall have!

Hi DebbieWebby! sweet to see you!!!

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Time certainly is flying, James!!!

Welcome survivors into new atmospheres !!! of WPRB!

Beautiful Friday!! how is it where you are, my friends?

Hi Readie! Definitely too much bad news this week, Palestine, Ukraine, and a Church in the U.S. what can I say??

Hey Alan! a challenging week to be sure! You are here among friends, and the community of WPRB- we enclose each other in the magic of WPRB! and the healing of music...welcome!!!

thinking of all those in adversity....👐🏼

Readie: are you thinking of playing any songs regarding that adversity in this show?

It IS hard to find words, Alan...

I manifest that each listener will find what they need to in the songs played....

Readie: well said, sometimes music is for when mere words are not enough..

indeed, Alan...indeed

I missed this WHYY broadcast featuring Princeton Professor Elizabeth Margulis regarding how music affects us here:https://whyy.org/programs/the-connection-with-marty-moss-coane/

Thanks for the link, Alan - I'll check it out after the show.

Readie: that njk photo reminds me of when I replaced a CPU on an old 286 computer to make it run faster..

The way the studio monitors are rendering this...the one percussion hit sounds like someone knocking on the studio door with bare knuckles.....

and Halloween is still a bit in the future....! 👻👻

Evenin’ all!

hey there addie! great to see you! how is everything?

Hey Addie!!!

...and the big question is also Where are you??

Having a good day, thanks Readie! Heya Alan!

I am still here in VT. Hoping to be in Philly for October.

Happy weekend, Readie! Nice to be back

Hey addie- sounds great! glad you had a good interview...hope it all works out well!!

Among friends after this week. And I 100% agree; there is something about music that calms a troubled soul.

Hiya Jeff! well said! and it's good to see you!!

It's like when I get in the car, and the sun is shining and I put the top down , and I can see the big white clouds all around me and the wind is in my hair...and we roll through summer's last breaths....

with music in our ears....

and then we hear this one.....

This track is pure magic

yes!!!! addie! I second that emotion!

afternoon

Ossy! welcome! join us!!!

magic track of course it IS XTC after all :)

we WILL get through it!!!

teeth shining in the park https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN0laOAWjan/?igsh=c2NlZzhpdjl5ajZ4

Hi Ossy!

Give the chef a BAMMMMMM! kick it up, Chef!

Auntie Patty! did you go to that party, Ossy?

Hi addi!

but so much white teeth fun with auntie bringing Jeffery last namesake with Ozzy, Osborne as well Heatwave and After 7!!

ah! I see, Ossy - I didn't see the date...looks like a aparty at the Dell!

and this gone but not forgotten: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN8ZHzpDufj/?igsh=MXdrOTA0Z3o0MjRpNA==

ah the Whispers are greaet!

readie - yeah, annual dell patty at the park every end of summer and a huge LTD fangirl, like her "hubby" El DeBarge like The Barge!

*great*

I can nerd for hours of the whispers like "get you in the mood, chocolate girl, lady, all the way, just a memory(ft carrie lucas), are you going my way, never knew love been kissed, love is where you find it etc

Oh yes, Ossy, I forgot her "hubby" El deBarge, like the fierce and sea-worthy Barge I am sitting in at the moment !

such great r&b and soul music!

🔥🌟🤎🔥🌟🤎🔥🌟🤎 :D

Anyone have cool plans for this holiday weekend

and last Sunday featured Maurice White and my treasure song: "I'll Write A Song For You" 💟

readie - Hmmm, aside from laborwave and the usual chilling, no big plans so far!

but my rowan got an exciting welcome back party week on labor day! 🤎💛🤎💛

sounds like fun, Ossy!

and smells like joy, as well!

It looks like it'll be a great holiday weekend weather-wise...bar-b-que anyone?

at least here in central Joisey!

That Ecuatoriana Universo Paralelo ... has been on my phone for a few years now. So good!

Son Palenque release also great. I need to get that Zheros

Hey Brian D- yeah that Zheros is excellent.

💚💛🖤💚💛🖤

Reggae! Happy music with philosophy!!

so much wisdom in this music! you are right Alan!

....and that Cumbia takes the pain out of housework too!

😂😂

I can see you dancing around the house with swiffer!

all done now...Yay!

Great! Feels good to get those chores done!

and sunset now earlier and visible from the front window, here comes fall..

I notice that autumnal feel in the air- crispy

Readie: you probably checked out the crescent moon a few days ago, will send you a photo from a few days ago anyway..

yes, I would like that - I actually missed it!

Just sent, my friend Kristi took that photo, she takes great photos!!
