Welcome to Recherché!

I have been clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

Hey Richard! Thanks- Glad you're here!

oh heyyyyyyy

HEyyyyyyyy, addie! workin' today?

yep! on lunch break at the moment so i can chill with y'all for a while

ears reporting for service 🫡

yesterday was volunteering at a west philly elementary school to try to get their library back into useable condition. shocking state of affairs in our schools.

Yeah ears!!!! ahoy there!

but you know, we got wars to fund, pockets to line, who needs an educated populace?

Howdy Righterians🪷🙏🏼

so this playlist is matching my vibe today

a great cause, addie - thank you for your service!

12:12 on the 12th

Nothing to do with Ireland, but, it is now snowing in the Washington DC area. 18 hours ago it was 85 degrees in my neighborhood.

And hi everyone

It is a great cause, Addie!

Rob! hey!

Jimbotzu! NICE! Righterians - I'LL TAKE IT! 🤩

and a belated hello to Jibotzu and Richard!

Hey Addie!

@Rob- WILD - had thunderstorms last night - lots of Irish weather today!

Love the pot-pot playing

Hi Amy Lee- yep- they're Irish too!

It's Lankum season!

💚💚💚

Howdy Bud! Fáilte!

Hi Readie, looking forward to a great show

Glad you're on board the Barge today, Bud!

🐑🐑🐑

@Readie, this is probably the craziest temperature change I've ever experienced in DC! We didn't have thunderstorms but there was a tornado warning for the Towson/north Baltimore area not long after sunset, maybe 35 miles from me?

Yeah, Rob - the temps are all over the place...unprecedented...I'm afraid we're in for more cosmic chaos without much mitigation from the "government"

I thought we controlled the weather? So much for HARP. :)

Hi!

Karmic Weather

Hey Roffle!

🪉🪉🪉

calling all ye Irish cowboys

Roff! hello!

Heya Addie!

I wanna ride off to the west now...

West Irland

West Philly, the BEST Philly

I miss West Philly!

I'm sure it misses you back!

☘️☘️☘️

A dear place. So much there.

it's been truly magical to be back in it

I'm so glad this is working out for you. Big change!

i'm in absolute heaven. can't wait for all the flowering trees to bloom, loving hearing the dirt bikes and ATVs again.

Ha! Yes, they do the ATV thing there a lot. Not so much in NoLibs, but they come thru the river parks a bit.

Wallopers should be the word of the day.

alright, back to the circ desk. see you in an hour! don't have too much fun or dance too many jigs without me!

see ya soon, addie!

Bye addie!! And hi Roffle!

Hey Rob! I saw some birds being busy on the river last evening. Things are moving.

Hey all. Nice selections Readie! Like this Fontaines song a lot.

Hey Bike R- Fontaines D.C.- very good Irish band! Glad you liked it!

I would love a Guinness right about now...

goin' out to everyone who loves a doggo...

Roffle, neat!!

especially our friend Teresa P. who lost their fur baby his week...😘

Speaking of dirt bikes, I saw a gang of about 30 dirt bikes(many electric) all not street legal, many riding wheelies up Broadway in NYC the other day. Not the first time I've seen this. CAN YOU SAY MAD MAX?

wow, Jimbotzu, bet that was LOUD

what time o'day was that, Jimbotzu?

Mid-day. Would have been louder but this time they were mostly electric . Electric dirt bikes, not bicycles.

aha, not sure of the difference..

Bigger, heavier, big knobby tires,

yeah, I've seen them occasionally. It kills me around here when people ride these things on the TOWPATH of the canal...Hooligans

I guess they figure the politicians and "law enforcement agencies" openly break the laws, so why shouldn't they? Can you say MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!

git'cher back up off the wall!

whirlin & twirlin' lads & lasses

Hello Readie O'Righteous! Sounding great 🍀🍀🍀

Always glad to hear music from "Penguin Cafe", as I am a refugee from WNYC's "New Sounds", hosted by John Schaefer and now a full website at "NYPR".

Just took a self granted dispensation from my Lenten alcohol fasting and had a sip of Ryan's Irish Cream to celebrate my sister's excellent show. How about an Irish poetry reading Sis?

Ahhh how did I know?

Hey Bo Hughes- lovely to see ya! thanks so much!

For you, Jimbotzu - SLAÍNTE

WOW....CHILLS

Love you, brother 💚

🍀🍀🍀

This💓

Greetings cousins!! No Irish Cream for me today, but the show did inspire me to head to the local meat market to pick up some of their award winning corned beef for next week!

Eh, Jeffry! lovely to see ya! Happy early St. Pat's day!!

👍🏻👍🏻 well done Jeffrey.

gra mo chroi!

(playing catch up) West Virginia, the best Virginia; we use ATVs as tools not for recreation; & screech owls have a way of startling you in the still night even when you expect to hear them. Makes us laugh every time

Readie, I'm remembering our poetry readings on the beach of the "Irish Riviera!

ah, yes - 'twas Spring Lake, it was!!!

@Amy - a cool memory!

The only Mayo in my experience

https://maps.app.goo.gl/rVbek6KZekJZUWsRA

Oh my gosh, ears - temporarily closed!

I haven't been there sice the early 80s

an Irish pub, I presume, ears

More of a Piney pub, I think

ah - perhaps it was fated to close after the pandemic?

It depends heavily on shore traffic from Philly. I don't know if they have been closed during the off season in years past

Hi Readie Rainbow 🌈 🍀☀️

Ok, maybe a seasonal thing

Welcome Ossy!! happy St. Pat's season!!

And cute image of you holding the Irish flag 🇮🇪

Thanks, Ossy - and my Molly Maguire's sweat shirt. Great pub in Jim Thorpe, PA

Input on best places for trad live irish music nearish Burlington county/in PA area thats not city of philly?

@Amy I guess sometimes the ATVs are tools and sometimes the riders are tools...

This month or anytime. @Jimbotzu - that is spot-on. I'd use mules if I could.

Amy, I see there's a "Doc's" in Burlington- Irish Sports Bar - I can't speak to how good it is though

Ah yes, better mules than asses!

I love those Radie Peat solo recordings

great, Bud- glad you liked that- it's a great video on the tube

I don't know if she's done any official solo recordings or not, I've always found them on YouTube as well

☘️💚🍀 Happy St. Paddy's Day!! 🌈🌞🌫

Docs disappoints when it comes to live music but ok otherwise. Decent local place for anytime food+Guinness.

Readie for earlier - Oh yeah, and this past Saturday was in a St Patty Parade party downtown Mt Holly

And carried the Irish Flag. Speaking of caverns, there's one there by the name of Village Idiot, LOL

And hi Debby!

Ok, Amy Lee - maybe check out google maps for "Irish pub with live music near me" sometimes works 😉

great vibe 🎵🍀

@Ossy - yes. Derek Warfield, from original Wolfe Tones played there again w/his 'Young Wolfe Tones'.

Amy - OMG, I see it! https://www.facebook.com/groups/374936519597681/posts/2430011400756839/

Hi RileyMartin - glad you like this!

hornpipes comin' up!

Amy - Mt Holly are extreme joy with several festivities and gathering local and relatively known people! Was at the beer garden for a little bit, after the parade marching

Gillian Murphy ŵas a guest on Colbert Tuesday!

Thx Readie. I just figure that the WPRB universe may be a step above! Tir Na Nog trenton is a def just looking for additional possibilities.

Just catching up on Colbert, Bo Hughes, will be sure to watch it when I get home on the Tube! Steve Colbert's Questionnert is great- have you seen it?

Well, I put the call out over the airwaves, Amy maybe someone will stop by with a tip!

in English- this - Oh, 'Tis you are welcome home

Yes RR! 👍

@Ossy - we were there too! a little later.

these guys stir my Irish soul!!!!!!!

No doubt RR💚

And awesome Amy!

Indeed a green patty Saturday, wowing the green crowd! Nothing beats the classics, and Patty Jackson and Butterball never lied, RR!!

I’ve never seen the Peaky Blinders TV series but I went to “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” at the Picture Show in East Windsor yesterday. Lots of anachronistic music in that 1940-set film.

Thanks for another great show Readie - loved the Irish extravaganza!

Thanks Amy- Love you all! 💚💚💚

Ever hear Bodenstown Churchyard RR ? Slan abhaile

It's been a beautiful expo, ty djrr!

✌️

Good day to all!

I have been clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.
