Recherché Thu May 28 with Readie Righteous on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello! I'm with Grace! Awesome!!

Loved that last track just before noon, was that one of Read's?

Happy 19th Anniversary!

Hi Readie! Hi Grace!

Great interview!

19 years! Big ups Readie!! Thank you for gracing the air waves with amazing sets and your presence. Here is to many, many more.Enjoy the summer break, very well deserved.

Hi Kevin - my piece was right before noon 11:50 to noon

Hi DebbieW!!

Thanks Richard!

Hey hey! Happy Anniversar-che! REEEEEAAADDIIIEEE!!!!!! Bring on the Big 2-0!

Hi Coastal Loon! thaks so much!

Hey Jimbo! thanks!

How many record grooves have you seen spun around as you broadcast them? In 19 years, I think if you straightened them all out into one line - I think it would reach to the MOON!!!

Hey Jimbo - I wouldn't be surprised!!! interesting visual!!

Hi Readie!! I'm bakc from my trip across Canada.& joyful to hear your 20th year begin at WPRB!!! I too am looking into the QE2 --for a winter crossing because it should be less expensive...Your show remains a highlight of my week! Stay well.

If you put all those record grooves onto one monstrous size record - it would reach from Princeton to Kansas!

Hi Pat - you are so kind! thanks for saying so!!! The transatlantic crossing would be rough in the winter, but yes it is more economical - but I'm finding there are sooo many tiers of costs!

An inside cabin is much less costly - but I'm thinking I might get claustrophobia!

Excellent interview/conversation earlier. Loved hearing about the 19 years on radio and about little Readie! Enjoy your summer travels and new quests 💪🌞❤️‍🔥

Thanks DebbieWebby - and I hope you'll be doing some traveling too?

hello righteous friends!

congrats Readie!

he addie! great to see you!

That's the plan/dream.. ha!

The Canadian (train across Canada)is now offering free rides to musicians for just 3 1/2 hour gigs a day. I'm looking for a pard to play guitar or piano with...Any interest in that trip?

Do it, DebbieWebby! making memories is so fun!

Wow, Pat HMU on socials - we should chat....

Thank you addie!

Hey Readie! Did you make it to the Arturo O'Farrill show?

YES, Roy - it was amazing...I played his Clump/Unclump recording and chatted about the show last week. The band was so tight - and he had a lot to say about his efforts for the unhoused in NYC...great chap

they're putting up resistance but I know . . !

Spectacular sounds, Readie the Most Righteous! 💎🎧

Arturo is an amazing bandleader and a true mensch!

nice! We tried to get there! Uhg. Missed it.

Happy 1️⃣9️⃣th Anniversary of Recherché!!! 🥳 🎉

Welcome on in, Christine! Great to see you! 💫

Hi Readie Rebellious! I think your sabbatical plans sound like an investment in sanity. :)

Thanks Christine - it's a sweet ride! 🌈 🔥

Hey Roff- that is the plan!!

You angelic troublemaker, you 💟 🌈 📚

Christine - 😘

Hearing Bowie in this!

A wonderful choice for your school!

I would have preferred Marmalade, TBH, Roy!! 😉

it drives me crazy that this song is now synonymous with tiktok videos

oh, who's going to west philly porch fest this weekend??

seagulls

I was overruled of course, I can't imagine there were enough votes for "Born Free" but there you are...I didn't feel very free...

I remember the tension around the juke box in the HS cafeteria.

Hiya Dá Bəng Gôu! yeah - shore days are coming!

@addie- which song was the one on TikTok?

more seagulls yes

I think they removed it my senior year. Still find it amazing we had one.

the "oh no, oh no, oh no no no" song, Readie

But we also had a smoking section outside

Hi Readie & congrats!

@addie - Oh wow, I hadn't heard it on TikTok - man!!

Hey Roy - no jukebox in Scranton in the high school - wow that would have been anarchic lol

Thank you Amy Lee!!!

Happy anniversary, Readie!

Graduated with Andre Gardner Shawnee HS. There was always a musical significance to that school.

Rob from MD - thanks for stoppin' by!!!!

@Roy - that's cool, actually!

Happy anniversary to you! Missed the sabbatical announcement

Hey Rob!

Thanks Roy - yep !

Hi Roy!

Sabbatical? for how long?

Hi Dr Readie Rainbow https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTQ5N2FiZDQtNDg0Ni00OTczLThmOTgtYWM1NjdiYjdlODcxXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_.jpg

@readie! Great set too! Love the mind dump!

SAINT PETAH!

Hey welcome OSSY!

thanks Roy - glaad you liked it...

All summer, it seems? Enjoy, Readie!

and yes, Rob, I did see an eagle flying overhead on my way to the Barge today....how approopriate!!!

*appropriate* no, it didn;t "proop on me" lol

Eagles are good talismans. And on that note, I'm gonna head out. I've got a cold and I'm kind of pooped

FEEL better, Rob! thanks for comin'!!!

@Ossy - that is one funny pic!

Yep, I'll be off this summer, except for occasional sub slots!

Subterranean Slots? You are the Queen of the underground!

Hey JIMBO 🥰

@Roy Cole - falling in love cause of someone's musical tastes? Yes. Also falling in love DESPITE their musical tastes.

Hi Readie! Happy 19th Anniversary!!! I caught the first part of Grace's interview with you but couldn't hear the rest. Will I be able to find it and listen to it in full later?

We'll miss you Readie.

I'll put it on the cloud of mix 😉

Thanks Li Maria!

love ya, Amy Lee!

If Bowie wrote this today - and Opposed tRump - would he had named this song "4 Years"?

Thanks, Readie! We'll miss you. Have a great summer, and I'll keep my ears open for any Readie subs

@Jimbo - HA!!!

thanks, Li Maria! ❤️❤️

This is a great one!

Readie when you do Sub Slots, will we be able to call them the '19th Amendments' ??

Queen II is my fave Queen LP!

Be well Readie. It's time to head out this day. See you between here and there. Congrats on 19, but I'm looking forward to 20 with all the trimmings too. Love you dear!

Haha Jimbo2-20
