Happy World Kindness Day! 💓 Chat is open!

hey hey!

... leaves blowing in cold circles!

Hey Bike R! Here we are on the "other side"!

Welcome to my digiteria. I hope you have a great show and attract financial supporters.

Yes! blustery blunderbuss-ness!

pledge.wprb.com !!

Hey Richard M! thank you! Welcome to chatville!

Hiya lina!!! YOU SAID it!

hello :DD

our goal is soooo close!

only a week to go!

I messaged Howard Stern on X and asked him to donate if he doesn't already 🤣

@lina :DD!

LOL Ears!😂

... loving the cross DJ vibe!

he can certainly afford it!

@Bike R - same!!

hey hey!

ADDIE!! hey there!

Welcome to the chat!!

listening in from work while checking in a pile of bookis

job still treatin' you well?!

pretty good, settling in, finding my way! overall just super happy to back at Penn.

Joycey is perfect music for today! I love this album.

if you can listen to wprb at work -- you're good!

super beautiful, addie!!

great one, Brian D! warm up time!

Happy World Kindness Day everyone!

(re Madeleine pic): F chord. My preferred voicing of that as well! And many others sliding up and down the fretboard. The "piano chord" voicing. Aka the "C" voicing.

I AM listening to WPRB at work (LOL)

LOLLL also hi Bike!!

@readie lol and this ska is great!

Brian D- amazing you should say that- I looked at that fingering and I said - that's SOME chord! oucheez!

glad you like it Bike R!

Bri-I so want to learn different voicings on the guitar-always been a lil' reluctant on the bar chords, etc. It's time, I know!

Nah just a plain F major there. It is the same as the open C chord. You just rearrange the fingers.

My neighbor plays classical guitar and we were chatting about fingering and I came to the conclusion I need to get my guitar worked on - my action is too high...gonna do it...

That one is not a barre either so no tiresome clamping down. But yes learn all the chords, barre etc. Never put it off and avoid things that seem "hard". And make sure your guitar size, neck etc all fit your hands, arms and body. And the string "action" (how high the strings sit above the neck) is important too. Many people try to play guitars that are uncomfortable for them. Gotta custom fit it for you.

haha jinx...

GMTA

yeah, @readie, get it set up!

I come out of the folk tradition...and I need to revisit this...thanks for the encouragement! I need it!! ❤️❤️

Look up the C-A-G-E-D "system". That's an acronym. Basically, you take your familiar shapes/fingerings of the open major chords named by those capital letters and move them up the neck. That takes care of the major chords. Then you start to alter them for the minor chords when ready. Then you work on the 7ths and the minor 7ths etc etc etc... one step at at time.

yeah, Brian D! sounds pretty straight-forward! thx for that...time has come today...

Finger and hand exercises, stretches highly recommended. I started wearing fingerless compression gloves for typing/mousing around on the computer. Helps as the joints get older. Can't really wear them when playing guitar as it makes it hard to move around the neck or pick/strum etc.

I hear that - got osteo-arthritis to deal with now- I'm convinced playing helps with the stiffness, etc...keep it moving, lol!

Well.... they are semi-fingerless. Cut off in middle off finger length

I have those, too, Bri...helpful

Ya... we have massages tomorrow. I always get them to concentrate on fingers/hands, arms, feet, legs etc.

.... you guys ;)

sounds cool- I never thought of that...back and neck, yeah but digits too, etc. nice.

Some days are better than others... sometimes the finger joints are really seized up. Plus I have had some hand injuries over the years. Still playin 45 years later

Nice day for it.

Hiya Jim! welcome in!

happy world kindness day!!

wow- it got real cloudy all of a sudden

here comes winter- I can feel it

Play guitar like Joni Mitchell: just tune till it sounds like a good chord. You can always use a slide too if the action is high.

yeah, brrrr!

lol, Jim!I've thought about open tunings as well- I have a book

Joni is unique - what an artist...both music and painting...

I see bicyclists riding on days like today and I wonder- how do they do it - sheer determination

@Readie that's right -- sheer determination!

Do you ride in the cold, Bike R?!

I try to, but it's getting harder and harder!

Keep going, Bike R!!! BTW, I heard people have started riding on the towpath with electric bikes...may I inquire...what is the point?

oh boy, ebikes. They just need to stay off the paths...

Yeah - I can't imagine coming in contact...yikes - someone once ran into me on the towpath on an analog bike...he wasn't paying attention...

Would love it if more trails existed for the feet and bike tires.

@brian d -- yes!

they just built 50+ miles of bike trail but its closer to Harrisburg unfortunately

So I’m toolin along Shazamming song on my radio station and to my surprise Readie’s pleasant voice comes on. My fave DJ. But then no surprise there.

@stoney wprb all the way!

Hey trail lovers check out njtrails.org

@bike Righteous (pledge monthly every year for the wild PRB T’s

Righteous!

Hiya Mokin' After Midnight! nice!

Hey Stoney! keeping Sourlandia beautiful for us all!

And thanks, Stoney, so much for the kind words!!

Thx for the trail info, too, Stoney!

All time great song -- Carlos!

and the drop....

Oh YEAH

One of my faves, too, Bike R!

... so SWEET

that's the word!

A great album- Abraxas...

... up there with Jimi

gotta head to my circulation desk shift. have a great rest of your day, folks!

Will do addie, THANKS! have a great week ahead!

rock on addie!

this show is like a solar storm of kindness cosmic, @Readie!

AH!! thanks, EARS! love it!

kickin' it up a notch y'all

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TUNE YARS!!!

yards

Hey michael g! that is a great live performance, eh?

saw them live in that era, firefly 2014 very distinct memory and moment of the trip

mg- oh, did they do Water Fountain?

yes it was great! saw at terminal 5 possibly that same year, my timeline on the t5 show is a little polluted but if i had to guess 2014

yep, same year as that KEXP peforrmance

unsure but i would bet they did, the firefly show i snapped out of a molly blackout and walked up to tune yards, thought i was so close to home i could call my brother and he'd come pick me up, and then had to deal with the reality that i was stuck there and made the most of it, but the first mems after the snap out are tune yards and that convo with my brother lmao

they were on fire

quite an adventure, mg!!!

second time terminal 5 but we really went to see delicate steve! and instead of watching with my friends i made new friends and watched tune yards with them, then ended up out to eat with like a large group of people i didn't know who were, and i just got up and left back to my buds! there's like a 50 percent chance i also had no phone in all of this the second time

i think that was just drinky poo's no extras

im gonna look it up really sad i can't remember what year it was, the memory gets very tied up with me losing my favorite purple hat out the window, bad smell leaving ny, and when we get home a memory with a friend that's no longer here

sup readie!!! these tunes are GREAT!!!

Wow, Michael g! what an amazing memory - and sorry for the loss of your friend!

these tunes *are* great. And awesome times mg!

Hello Readie! Thanks for calling on the spirits of my ancestors to protect me from the market crash. So far it's working!

thanks, mg and Bike R..❣️❣️

it's okay i like having memories of them it's nice to remember cause they don't get to experience it with us anymore

Hey Marcus! geez- I hope it keeps on working for a looooooong time!!! 😬

Remembering all lost friends with kindness today!!! 💛💛💛

Half of my favorite High School lunch table are gone.

my friend has recordings of unfortunately a couple friends who have now passed, and i like that they exist, even the thought that they exist is nice.

Wow, blessed memories to you, Marcus!

big ups marcus and readie!

peace to you Michael, mny brother

i should be on the pitch rn hitting klangers

this song is so good

yes peace to you as well

.... missing all those lost!

I'm thinking of friends past rn as well...so many good times....laughs, concerts, parties, wow

I was thinking of Darby Crash of the Germs yesterday, RIP

☮️☮️☮️

hi there... omg that last cut... thank you!! this is the first time i've tuned into your show. (we usually listen to Sangit on Friday and if in passing I hear international (esp Africa) music. loved that cut by the TUneYards too! Brava.. i'll be tuning in to your time slot again. <3

my last roomate dan schooled me pretty good on darby crash, we adlib his get me a beeeewwww, and "damage" from time to time, intensifies with jamie lmao

that last cut: Naki Bembe Embaire Group & Naoyuki Uchida... not sure what the Japanese guy was doing there.. recording? I'm gonna have to Google that fantastic recording.

You have a talent for finding beautiful music, Readie, I used to listen to you driving down 206 to pick up my kid but school and schedule changed and now it's a rare afternoon I get to listen to you. Still as wonderful as always

HECK YEAH KAREN !!! READIE RIPSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Karen - here is a link - to the embaire group - https://tinyurl.com/bdh69hx9

Readie does rip. It's the great thing about radio -- driving to pick up your kid, sitting at your desk, walking with headphones... and remembering friends

Thanks so much Marcus! ! 😊

WPRB listeners are never finished collecting musics!!!!

You're very welcome, Karen!
