Good morning and happy Friday Dave and fellow music apprecianados

good morning, Lizardbytes

good morning.

good morning, Dale

bird calls for Rob from MD

Birds Aren’t Real

I heard Song Sparrow and Northern Flicker

And a not real good morning to everyone

all I heard was a crow

good morning, Rob from MD

I must have heard a crow too but I don't remember

Good morning, Dave

I've got some Loon coming up after this orca

We're loving this Orca raga. And are looking forward to the loon

Black-capped Chickadee, Red-winged Blackbird, and of course Common Loon

Boids in Joisey

I thought it was the Carolina Chickadee

toity poiple boids choiping and bouping

lol @Rob

It could be Carolina, I said Black-capped because the (northern) breeding range of the Common Loon is entirely in the range of Black-capped. And Fiuczynski is in Boston.

*and so also in the range of Black-capped. Carolina Chickadee ranges north to central New Jersey; north of there the Black-capped takes over

he obtained audio samples from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

so not all from the same region

Dave, that puts a different spin on it!!!

I assumed he made his own field recordings

I think none of them were his own

two other tracks feature the Uirapuru

Good morning 🌄

Uirapuru: awesome!!

good morning, jim haku

haven't been chatty, but nice relaxing morning. so far...

glad you are appreciating

This set is hypnotic

First Hour: TopNotch Selections

@Dave, we loved the first hour but sadly have to go do things. Merci and hasta luego

thanks for hanging out, Rob. Have a good day

thanks, TAndy

thank you, MrM

never would have made the magma connection here...i miss the wagnerian vocals.

Did a large vehicle... come from somewhere....

Coryell was rockin in the a.m.

I tell youse, you cannot overstate the influence Zappa has had on avant-prog

@Dale, I personally can do without the vocals (that is my hangup). But to me it can sound like Tiny Tim with the Klingon Opera Company

It's very obvious

ha ha!
