Serenade to a Cuckoo with Jerry Gordon Fri Aug 21 with Jerry Gordon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello, everybody!! Welcome to Serenade to a Cuckoo!

Happy Friday to Jerry and everybody!

Rick, Happy Friday, how ya doin?

Hi all

We're getting ALL of our Daily Recommended Servings of WPRB today

Hi Jerry, Mike, Rick & all 👋

Hi Mike, Hi Christine!

Jerry, I'm lovin' the roll the Phils are on. I hope it continues! Hey Mike and Christine!

@Jerry, wasting no time...right into That Theme Song Again! 🎶🐦

At my desk and dialed in for a change. But really like listening in my car when rolling.

Hey Anthony!

Yep, things are a happening!

Anthony, love having you here!

We're going to do something a little different this first hour!

Hi all! Swinging right into it!

Hey Roffle!

Yo Roffle, get ready!

Wheels up

Hell yeah ♀️

BTW, the Anthony in the chat sees more music than any person in the world, and I'm not kidding

Mature?....somehow Facebook isn't seeing me

Christine, you don't qualify for that group of "matures"

Mature? I will stay immature as long as I can. You gonna play some Joni?

Bob? Yo Bob.

Jerry, spinatron give u those figures

ET, I am going to do a special show next week for immature males. What would you like to hear?

Hahaha

Mike, I'm so mature that Facebook banned me permanently! So it goes.

Ha!

Hey Aiffrig, got those "percentages" from my "business" page

Alice Cooper? Bread, Argent, Edgar Winter, Don't Call Us, We'll call you.

my mature ass is going out to get cigs and beer , nuthin like confortable

ET, interestingly, I had Joni and Bob scheduled for our "alternate Woodstock" third hour, but they got knocked out at the last minute. Those two!

Aiffrig does a great job representing Cuckoo listeners!

The driving bass on this track just slays me!

saw Weather report with jaco. Tower theater. One of the most tragic stories in relatively recent recording history. He shines working with Joni

Nice, one of your many memorable concerts!

that and the time the fans turned over the tour bus in the alley. Upper Darby, Yo!

If you want to hear a driving bass, check out the TOP Queens on YouTube on their track "Why Do I Cry". The bassist is Aldana Aguirre. Killer!

Thank you, Rick, I'm not familiar. I look forward to hearing it.

Aguirre Wrath of God.

As far as the Phillies go, they gave me PTSD. I have it permanently. I had it since 1964

The driving bass kicks in about 5 minutes into the tune, Jerry.

ok!

Christine, check out this mature "sister"

Rick, if you endorse something, it SCHWINGS

Jerry, thank you Professor of "social music"!

YESSIR!

"I'm going to heaven in a brown pea shell"

Loving this fantastic set 💜💜💜

I'm really glad, Christine. I was very particular in choosing the playlist.

AMTRAK Blues will be followed by SEPTA Regional Rail Blues

Christine, you and Val are the top female Cuckoo listeners!

And You Can't Get To Heaven on the Frankford El

That's for old hippies

I'm honored @Jerry

Just my personal opinion. But the lady folks happen to be some of my favorite artists. But a show devoted to them is cool too. BUT- To me its a little bit disingenuous to suggest they need some kind of space of their own. They don't need any help at all! They own the upper octaves. No disrespect Jerry. Love the show.

We're Gonna Rock Down To....Pattison Avenue (on the Broad Street Line)

also the alto range.

ET, the show is to recognize our women listeners, not to give female singers some attention

Followed by "SEPTA Bus Sideswiped My Car Blues"

I did meet a Baritone on 11th Ave Manhattan. I prefer to not talk about that.

Cool Jerry.

Christine, kind of like Electric Avenue with a Philadelphia vibe

This is a HUGE winner of a record

No, you were looking for a soprano

nothin' better than slow blues!!!

You know it, Rick!

Exactly, @Jerry!

Look out!

There are quite a few - don't hate on me here- 'lady' DJ's here on WPRB. Totally like listening to 'Stitching Pink'

Yes, some really great ones!

All of them!

Bari sax playin' the blues. I dig it!

Esoterica is the Queen in my book

Silky smooth, Rick.

I can make a list. Esoteric, Stitching Pink, Double plus good, Reedy.

Don't forget Commie Francis!

If you are playing the bass- look at the band leader- and coordinate with the drummer.

Slow Blues!

Love it!!!

The epitome of Chicago Blues. I saw her in a small Chicago Blues club and it was quintessential Chicago Blues

Lizbot, Commie Francis, Running Redlights with Jen, Don't Back The Front with Dana K, the Ineffable Readie Righteous, The Sonic Bloom with Esoterica, Habitat Enrichment with Krista, and the list goes on. Absolute excellence.

Christine has spoken

that horn section.

Yeah, man! This is a new record!

I don't particularly care for seed oils in my granola But the fiber does help digestion.

the reincarnation of Amy Winehouse.

This is a killer

Indeed!

That it is

Now Christine's favorite

OK, rick, time to get serious.

Dr. Jerry, thanking you for my shot of B-3!!!

Caesar Frazier IS good for the digestion!

Absolutely!

💯

Purples man....

Rick, your horns

Yeah, Mike, so good, you were 14?

I'm hip!

Woodstock?.....15

John Barlycorrn must Fly!

must fly , good one

Right on, Roffle

aiffrig, cigarettes, beer, et al

Then let us toast John Barleycorn, Each man a glass in hand;

I do love the horns in this classic!

Yes! That's where I want to go drinking

This has been remixed and they really sound great!

I have the 5.1 mixes...good stuff

King Curtis on sax I believe

Nice! What a set up you must have. Or do you only listen with headphones?

Stronger than dirt!

Horn section had a great day on that one.

Setup....six surround, one center channer and sub

You kids and your stereos gave the studios license turn more knobs.

Ha!

This whole album is so good.

In mono too...

Is there a special audio version of this album?

Is it a dedicated mono mix?

Roffle, are you endorsing a back to mono movement?

Any producer worth his salt knew about AM.

Damn right I am Jerry!

Oh my!

Except for these meddling kids!

👍 🙂 this is the good stuff

Or should I say....far out

Hey Space Cowboy! We have your theme song coming up

Seriously?..… sweet. Betcha I wasn't ready for that

Tropical Hot Dog Night

Karma, serendipity, whatever

Roffle, Mike is demanding new audio channels

Hey there, Jerry! Zappa and the Captain would have been great at Woodstock

@Mike is there a 5.1 mix of the Blind Faith record? I'll need to get that.

More channel.....more sugar!

Hey Bud! Several people mentioned Zappa to me as someone who should have been at Woodstock. I read Zappa was disinterested in the hippie thing

Shoes for industry!

That doesn't surprise me at all. I think I heard that he really disliked most of the San Francisco bands

And truly was not into drugs!

Zappa would have played that wacky doo wop stuff and had a battle of the bands with Sha Na Na

Hahahahaha

Watch out where those huskies go............

I believe Frank was more interested in moving to Montana and becoming a dental floss tycoon.

Hahahaaha

Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho????

Suzy Creamcheese what's got into you

Zappa played at the Atlantic City Pop Festival in 1969. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F04psjwl2yip31.jpg

Hey Russ!

Hey Jerry I know you are going to play the James Gang!

Hi Kenn! OMG, perfect... but I forgot! Perfect!

Good info, @Russell

Afternoon Jerry

Hey Ossy, welcome to the alternative Woodstock!

One where Sha Na Na never even made the line-up.

Jerry , last hour Excellent

Thank you, Sir

:D

Given that the music went all night long I think my drug of choice would have been White Cross's, Christmas Trees and Pink Footballs

Hi Ossy!

Jerry, your show is nirvana-like. And so pleasing and so enjoyable! Note that the 1st hour was extra special! Everybody enjoy your weekend!

A fantastic Speculative Alternative Woodstock show today, Jerry! 💯

grew up next to sellersville

If we are in a multiverse, there were many different iterations of Woodstock spread out along the tumelines. And some timelines where Woodstock never happened at all. 🕊

How about a Bizarro World Woodstock?

A Woodstock in reverse would be a cool multiverse

Thanks everybody! Thanks for listening. Have a great weekend!

Till next time
