HELLO! and welcome!!

Hello Readie!

Hey, loved the talk about making a movie using mirror images in New York

Bike R in the house! good to see you!!!

Love you all

Except you two lol

@Mohan- thank you - I will tell Grace & Nico how much you enjoyed it!! 😍

McLaren and Nico

Grace ❤️

🔥

Hey Readie!

Hiya Debbie Webby! How's it goin'?!

Okay... how are you?

Settling in! It's a beautiful day! The Barge porthole is open, nice breeze!!!

Glad to hear it's a good temperature day at the Barge 🌞

I got my ears on!! Or well, I did at the top of the show & will again soon on the ride home. Great hearing you as a member of the audio radiance!

Hey Joey Bug!! thanks!! welcome!

White Denim is great! Corsicana Lemonade is the one to get but some gems on all the lps. And get the alter ego solo lp of the bandleader James Petralli who goes by "Bop English" that's good stuff too

I need to grab that Orientales de Paramonga 72-76

Hey Brian D! YES! I intend to dive in to White Denim - and all adjacencies! And if you have time to check out the listening party for Los Orientales - it should be sweet.

White denim track sounded very cool. A little Zappa thing going on there

Yes, Debbie Webby - it's very pleasant in here rn! Nice fresh air!

Hi thomas hatch! Yes, I love the WD universe...a lot happening...

Hi Readie and all the chat people! Working from home for the rest of the day so I get to join the chat today

Nice, thomas! I really liked working from home - fortunately, the nature of my work allowed it....

I’m usually on the road which is great for listening but not very safe for chatting

of course - safety first!

susana is REALLY into this song

Indeed, Norman! Hiya what's up?

It sounds like Susana was no doubt pleased with the mix in her headphones.

susana- way ahead of her time, demonstrative, indeed 😆

The baby octopuses - like that name

hi readie, not much...just trying to get through the work day while listening to some awesome music

isn't that cute? baby octupi lol

Hey Norman - glad you're enjoying... hang in there...a few more hours to go?

can't believe I can't find an emoji for octopus...tragic!

Im sure Susana and viagra are never mentioned in the same sentence…oh wait!

🐙

Octopuses not represented in the digi art world

OOOH, Roy - nice octopus! CUTE! 🥰

Looks a might like a duck peering over the wall but sure

🤣🤣 Bri 🤣

My octopus teacher

good film

Yes octopuses are quite the amazing creatures as shown in that

Speaking of Puerto Rico. Ive see quite a few octopus in the tidal pools on the north coast Isabela

My favorite getaway. Such a musical island. Momba is the music you can hear most every Sat night on the town square.

Cool, Roy, never saw one IRL.

Thank you Vampi-Soul once again

I've heard Puerto Rico is beautiful - have you been to Vieques? I hear it's pretty there

yes, Vampi-soul knocks it out of the park!

more cowbell

Reeeeeaaadddiiiieeee!!!!!!! YOU ARRRE Rockin' EET OUT of the Barge!

YAY, JimVoteBo!! glad you're rockin' with us!!!

@readie. No. Have not. Spend most time in the Aquadilla and Isabella. We surf and kite surf and play music there.

Roy, sounds idyllic!!!

Do you have a band?

Have a friend who plays in love seed mama jump. He has a house there and I have a drum set there.

Yeah!!

Took several pieces at a time. Started with a conga. And built from there.

@RoyCole, How big is your set now? I was just playing my cunga w bass drum on pedal. Do you have a veranda to rehearse on?

Hi Readie Rainbow 🌈

Some of the best percussionists are squids. They play underwater so its hard to hear them!

Roland TD-12 jim

Have a nice PA too

Hi Ossy! good to see you!!

Just heard from a friend - we may be going to Arturo O'Farrill in Philly tomorrow...speaking of congas - he's got some great percussionists in his combo

So much goes on under the sea

This DePlume guy is great! I first heard him on WPRB of course!

percussion rulezzzzz

@RC: Do you get to play with the locals? Sounds like a blast!

Alabaster DePlume's music is like examining a collection of antique trinkets at a dusty shop in a remote market town.

Greetings, Readie, from a cold

of course, thomas! good stuff, that Angus

Dreary Green Bay. But the music is hot!

@Lupica - perfect visual... welcome to the theatre of the mind!!!

But if you hear a squid playing chances are it will be in 7

Hiya Jeffry! oh no! we had the drearies yesterday...

Jeffry, when does spring usually kick in finally in Green Bay?

https://www.instagram.com/p/DXs1R_3DO1b/?igsh=MWNjNjJoZHZvNnlqZA== 🧈 💛

And btw readie, did you hear or see the new Michael Jackson movie?

@Jim. Not usually. On occasion a local may join in. We are all from NJ and Delaware. Most who go to Shacks Beach are.

Great pic of Butterball, Ossy! Miss him!! And Patty's writing a book?! That's going to be good!

@Ossy, I have not! did you like it?

readie- OMG, btw, saw Patty on 6abc philly news earlier in the week! Yes, rest in paradise and heavenly birthday to Butterball. When first saw him, mistook him for Phillip Banks of Fresh Prince Bel Air lol

😄 that's a great pic of him, Ossy

and not yet, haven't seen the MJ movie, but lots of people, especially Patty tell me I should, it's great!!

4th of July! 🤪🤪

I heard some good things...

😄😄 Jeffry - sounds like Scranton in the 1960s!

auntie "white shiny clean teeth that smells great" patty's mj feedback! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXoltIux3Ar/?igsh=b2VwaHU2MzZwdGJ5

That guy had that big video about his squid playing a keyboard. He should have given the squid a DRUM SET!!! They play in 7 time = Hilarious!!!

All the Squids are making their arms into Heart Shapes and facing them at the Barge of Ultimate Rock Wave Vibrations

Thanks for being here, everyone!! It's been fun! see you in a coupla weeks!!! 🥰

Have a good one!!

thanks, DW! you too!

Have fun on your Off time!

Thx JimSquid Bo!

And may peace be with you Readie!

and also with you, Roy!

🥰🥰
