Hi, John, great to hear you again! If possible, can you please get to Ruth Pelham - "In These Golden Days"? I would be so grateful.

No Sorry. For semi-tech problems I coud explaian another time.w

No problem. Perhaps next week?

Still a great show.

I just realized that you're probably not in the studio - LOL. You're probably hosting from home.

Greetings to John and listeners.Mourning the passing of a true Son of New Jersey Floyd Vivino.True showman and tremendous trove of musical info

True. Princeton's moved to Hunterdon County for the moment.

Good evening everyone

Anyone interested in the Edmund Fitzgerald .A wonderful 2025 book by John Bacon called The Gales of November.

Patrick, I too am sad about the passing of Uncle Floyd, even though I only knew about him from fanzines I read in the 90s

He was a true New Jersey icon Rob.He and John were only DJS that would play The Hoosier Hot Shots.

Yesterday marked the 50 th anniversary of the passing of Paul Robeson a perennial Music You CANT Hear performer

Paul Robeson was offered the vice president role in 1948 by Henry Wallace.Went to ColumbiaLaw School with William O.Douglas and Thomas E Dewey.Walter Camp who started the College All Star team rankings called him the greatest player in history

So, who wrote this great song?

I love Ripple. I am crying already.

Lived his later years with his sister in Philadelphia.The house has tours.Huge Funeral service was at AMEZion Church in Harlem.

I miss all the great Center City Philadelphia newsstands.Broad and Locust …All locals ,New York ,Baltimore Sun,Washington Post,LA Times.Star Ledger.

Hi who sang that version of Ripple? Not on the playlist

That was Beppe Gambetta.

Thanks

I seldom say how much I enjoy your show. Too close to home, but I appreciate you and this and I have for quite a while. Such quality John. Thank you bringing it to us.

Anybody who starts their radio career paying tribute to Paul Robeson and keeps on keeping on 52 years later deserves our respect and listenership

A shout out to Side B Phil Jackson show.After 15 years his last show is later tonight.A true giant in the local rap community and a nice gentleman.Congratulations Phil

Oh no! Love Side B Radio!

And our old hands still clutch guitars and tune down a bit. :)

another amazing MYCHOTR! Thank you, John!

Never tired of these Dam songs!

We have Fairmount Dam near Schuylkill River but nobody wrote a song about it.

Great show tonight, John.

A UCLA basketball player asked the CBS commentator to acknowledge Paul Robeson death on air during the game. Billy Packer said sure and he did. Can you imagine today’s cowardly corporate media doing that.

I dance and I sing lots on the river for it. Just not on tape.

Hi John! Good Derry lass Muireen. Bradley, an amazing talent for only eighteen, thanks for playing!👋

The Schuylkill River is secretly magic

Greetings Saint Ambrose.Haven’t heard from you long time. Glad you are here.

Thanks for great show tonight John. So much more enjoyable than shoveling.

Hi ya Pat!

Had to dig me out of all the snow

Put on those specticals

Thanks John

Thank you John for being our Sunday night soundtrack.

Thanks John!

Happy to feel American. Thanks
