Good afternoon, @Readie & fellow dedicated Recherché-ers! <3 I just want to thank you so much for the beautiful song you played and your dedication shout-out to me, my family, and our recently departed Nicholas the Wonder Beagle! I was so touched and moved by it, and it brought some very cathartic tears to my eyes! You are THE BEST! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Readie Righteous (host) 12:25:18 PM

Readie Righteous (host) 12:35:17 PM
Cool, Rob - great driving music, right?
Readie Righteous (host) 12:35:36 PM

Rob from Maryland 🦀 12:37:39 PM
@Brian ... to the point of getting a Horse Lords tee
Brian D 12:39:13 PM
Oh yeah! 75 Dollar Bill another great out act that uses microtonal . WPRB plays them from time to time. Jon S when he goes for the long player segments. Good stripped down grooves

Brian D 1:25:16 PM
So polite of Mr Brown to ask Bobby Byrd's permission to: take it to the bridge, count it off, make it funky etc. Owed a lot to Bobby he did. Bobby helped him out so much.
Brian D 1:25:54 PM
MACEO! MACEO!
Readie Righteous (host) 1:27:21 PM
Hey Gabby Aron - glad you liked that one!

Readie Righteous (host) 1:45:20 PM
Saw so many great shows at the Spectrum....
Brian D 1:46:23 PM
Yes I logged many a mile at the ol Spectrum. Sometimes the Spectrum Showcase or Spectrum Theater etc whatever they called it when they curtained off half of it and did lower capacity more close up shows
Readie Righteous (host) 1:47:56 PM
Yeah - I saw Peter Gabriel innumerable times...loved it when Youssou N'Dour was on stage with Pe-tah
Brian D 1:49:35 PM
Not counting the one time in the 70s as a kid for the Ice Capades... I would guess I saw about 50 shows from 1984 to 2002 or so at the Spectrum.
Readie Righteous (host) 1:51:16 PM
oh yeah- forgot about the Ice Capades - my aunt took us as kids....
Readie Righteous (host) 1:53:29 PM
I saw the Sixers vs the Chicago Bulls when Michael Jordan was on board

Greetings, Readie! Enjoying a beautiful day before Spring, 3 days after the worst storm to hit GB in 138 years and the 2nd worst storm ever to hit GB. So we’re going to have a white first few days of spring!
Readie Righteous (host) 2:07:27 PM
Oh, man, Jeffry! I didn't realize how historic that storm was - that's saying a lot for Green Bay!! I'll bet you are looking forward to some really truly Spring weather! Happy Thaw!!!!
Jeffry Langan 2:08:10 PM
That we are! The music is helping today.
Readie Righteous (host) 2:09:19 PM
