Welcome to the chat! Sweet autumn day to you all!

hey hey!

Hi Readie! Cuoi It's Thursday :)

Hey Bike R & Alan!! yay Thursday!

I have left messages by phone, the web site player is not working. I am listening via my Winamp Player using WPRB's .mp3 link. Also, while "Chat" is working now, it was not from at least 4:30 AM until just recently in minutes.

hi Readie!! the passage you shared earlier was v interesting :o

Hi Richard - Sorry you're having trouble connecting! I just tried the player and it's working for me right now. I can mention the Chat outage ...

Readie: I heard some of your show last week, the interview with Jane Goodall was truly inspiring...

Hi alina- thx- yes - that book is available for free online if you search around... it's US history from a different perspective ...

BTW the WPRB stream is working here OK using MS Win 10 on laptop..

@Richard - try the "Listen to WPRB" button now- it's working on this end.

Thx, Alan - I tested the app via my iPhone- working.

FM ok as is usual

I chatted briefly earlier and was able to get through.

Sounds great! Player working here. Chat has been working all morning for me. Past shows chats all showing up this a.m. on links below

Thx, Brian D...@Richard- try the app again...

Tidiane communicating without words....

Yup. Back in business. Thanks.

Great to hear, Richard! Thanks for listening!

Tested across three computers.

wall-to-wall WPRB!

yeeeeeeeeeee i have prb playing through my tv in my room 24/7 but do most listening headphones on my pc in the living room!

Hey mg! OUTSTANDING!

deposited my ballot in the election drop box on my in today- feeling my civic duty fulfilled!!!!

*my way in*

At home I also use the good ol Winamp player to play the streaming url. Can adjust the eq etc. Go 2000s

nice, Bri!

Love those Tidiane and Etran lps

yeah, immediate spirit boost!

Love this, Readie

Hey Kelly! Glad you liked that - powerful stuff! The album drops 05 Dec.! good stuff...

Hi readie!

Hey Tyler B!!!! so good to see you!!!

How've you been, Tyler B?

Stardust was cooool stuff! Stainless steel is hard to weld though!

Hey Alan! have you tried it? I have 0 experience with welding, myself!

I've been ait. Just making it by, trying to find the little joys. And the big ones, too, like your show!

I've missed you on fridays! My calendar reminder still goes off at 455 each Friday to remind me of your show

@Alan The Stardust was going for $50 back in the 80's, but I'll bet they're worth a lot more now

Hey Tyler! awww! nice ! change that alarm, Tyler B!! lol! 😁

Readie: to weld Stainless steel you def need a heliarc welder, uses inert helium and stainless rod,very expensive to make..

REEEEADIEEE!!!! The Server of Stardust

Stardust instrument here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/406243515776

Hey Jimbooozooo! servin' it up fresh!!!

I guess it works on the same principle as Xmas Jingle Bells..

Now I know lol. It's been a staple on myphone for years

Whoa Alan, thx for that link! 3000 clams- amazing! originally $50!!!

The arc-welder was invented in Philadelphia = in a Beer Barrel. Polka That!

@Tyler B- nice to be on your phone lol!

sup yall was just thinking i think we've discussed this before readie, will you be teaming up with anyone for the fall drive

Dr. Robert hare blew up the basement apartment he was renting three times! Finally got it safe and started a Physics revolution. Forgotten in Euro-centric histories of Physics

@Alan- I have a necklace with a little sphere on it that makes the exact same tinkly beautiful magical sound!

Jimboozoo : arc welder ok on beer, but not for use on highly flammable vodka...Kabooom!!

Readie: fun to experiment with sounds tho!

Hey mg- the Fall drive is more low-key than the Spring- there won't be co-hosts- but some specialty shows - cool programming!

@Alan = FUNNY!

daaaamn

Fascinating, Jimbooozoo! mad scientist, eh?

Readie, is that star dust encrusting the corner of your glasses?

🤣🤣 yes, Jimboozoo! I carry Stardust everywhere with me...but really, aren't we ALL stardust??? ("I read that someplace")

Dr. Hare was quite a story (and sometimes dark). A true forgotten great. One of many American Physics written out of History. Eunice Foote is the Lens to see all this by

@Jimboozoo, I believe we have touched on Eunice in this chat before, amiright? You are writing a book as I recall?

As we speak. Ms. Foote is indebted to your star dust infusions to my Thur. writing sessions!!!

deLIGHTed to be of assistance, Ms Foote!!! 😉

Readie: Yes, as Carl Sagan used to say, we are all Stardust, long time ago a star went Supernova, and spread all the heavy elements through space, made the solar system planets and us. "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself"

Teame Foote Babye!!!!!

Love that, Alan! (I secretly shouted out to Andy Partridge back there- lol!) And of course, Sagan! One of the patron saints of Recherché!

Go Teame Foote!!!

Right NOW a Star IS GOING Supernova!!! We're listening to it !

Readie Star Righteous Dust!

😌🤩🤩🤩

Jimboozoo: been checking on this star, waiting for it to go Nova...not yet tho! https://starwalk.space/en/news/t-coronae-borealis-nova-star-exploding

🌠

💫💫🌟🌟

...might become visible naked eye..

....unless it's behind the sun though later this year..

Coronae Borealis...nice

The Northern Crown

but I really don't know of a southern one LOL!

Also, Mt. Etna has been exploding = long, lingering twilights, already visible - might get to be bigger effect!

Jimboozoo: Wow! Right, dust in stratosphere gives Orangey sunsets...(Grammar hammer on "Orangey" LOL)

Orangy, orangie?

lol - if it's good enough for Alan and ocasek, it's good enough for grammar hammer!

Readie LOL :)))

"it's an orangey sky...ALL RIGHT, is it another guy???"

anyhow, check out the sunsets!!

Happy Thursday, Readie! Another quick check-in between meal deliveries and physical therapy. Life is back to being too busy! But grateful for these few hours of great music and chatting.

That's an awesome link. Thanks for sharing

Howdy, Jeff! great to see you as always - all the best on the PT!! Meal deliveries more important than ever these days!

@Jeff - check the chat. Star Dust delivery knockin' at your front door!

@Jeff - thanks for taking us along!

@Jimboozoo - delivery received. Thank You! 🤣🤣

Readie: thought that track was Amaria Hamadalher for a while..

Saharan music always a treat here..

David Nichtern played in the short-lived Great American String Band with David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Richard Greene and Taj Mahal (Taj there just for a bit). Some great recordings out there in the web. Had some tapes back in the day.

One of the tapes had Maria M sit in for some songs including then big hit Midnight at the Oasis

WPRB. PrinceStar, New Dusty

Thanks for that intel, Brian D! always a pleasure to have your knowledge here in the chat!!

@Jimboozoo - Love that!! 😄

LET"S GET PROGGY

and there's always room for a 12-string....

let's tighten up that bongo-head

Hi Readie 🖤https://tenor.com/view/elvira-gif-18760561

Ossy! hiya! good to see ya! Long time no see!

Elvira speaks!!! 😄

Totally in her dark, scary-smelly, noirette, halloween, bat, Mortician Addams aura, LOOOOL

and totally long time as well!!

well said, Ossy! like that "noirette" - very cool!

perfect for scary season!

sounds like Dr. Chase from House, MD. lol

totally 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Btw, been in so many mental health wellness 5ks during this Halloween season

Wow, Ossy, 5ks - that's a long one!

For a good cause!

"more than a walk, a wellbeing" , especially against suicide, which I been in one last weekend called AFSP's "Out of Darkness"!

Is that a film, Ossy?

Or is that the name of the walk?

The name of the walk:)

nice!

But would definitely make a lifetime lesson film, indeed now you mentioned it!

First cut

Cat Stevens
