Music

With wishbone

folk textures! crafted from a reverence for acoustic music and a deep fascination with its persistence and importance in our largely electrically-driven modern society. acknowledgement of the impact of instrumentation on the mindset of performance. respect for ever-warping tradition, love of togetherness and wonder! joy in the natural world. soul of a song. strings and wood. stay a while.

HOPELESS SEMANTIC BAND !!

we got the lovely, the illustrious, the darling, the endlessly something-or-other and ONE and ONLY hopeless semantic band on air today at 11!

Good morning, I'm not hearing the station streaming

morning all!!

will replay the jonathan richman for you brian haha

Sound!!

Sounds great!

It was quite amusing!

Live band! Woah! BAM!

Good morning Wishbone and all

Good morning

Morning Wishbone and everyone!

Nothing like Bobby Osborne's voice. He kept pickin and singin for so long. Saw him do some fine shows at Delaware Valley Bluegrass in Jerz and Grey Fox in NY. One time he did a great Grateful Dead / Robert Hunter songs set in his own way.

John Hartford! Great set here

i have access to the record library today....... hehehehehe

Correct myself, it was Jesse McReynolds that did the Dead / Hunter tribute. Confused those two brothers Bluegrass acts: The Osborne Brothers and Jim & Jesse (McReynolds) .

I've enjoyed the show, wishbone, but I have to head out. Ty & until the next time!

I must admit to the many mystery keys and random screws, menus, dried out pens and broken pointed pencils in our junk drawer

catch ya later rob!!

another great show, which brings me to a Q: do you archive yr show? On mixcloud or etc? In case one got up late, etc. ?

WOO!!!

That vocal effect was sick

that was awesome!

that fiddle is amazing

Thanks for telling me about this special show, wishbone! Glad I got back home in time to hear hopeless semantic band live!

Yay! 👏 👏 👏

This sounds like something I'd hear on Jon's show. Thanks for the show and bringing the band into the studio! Cheers to all of you!

If a certain celebrity chef in the chat happens to be in another Philly based folk/indie/alt bluegrass/rock/weird band full of WPRBheads who are recording and releasing a bunch of music this year, where might we inquire about possibly playing on your show if possible? Np if not doable, just sounds super fun!

of course!!!! you can reach out at the email on my spinitron!! I'll connect you with the band

let me get an email from them as well

YEAH CHEF!!!
