Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:37:42 PM
Hello everyone
Tim (host) 4:39:01 PM
Hey rob what sup
Tim (host) 4:39:11 PM
any bird watching today?
Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:57:21 PM
Hey Tim! I spent an hour at a park near home, didn't see anything exciting, barely saw any birds at all. Another morning when all the action was along the Potomac River south of the Beltway ... Down there continuing American Avocet (rare in the area black & white shorebird with upcurved bill), 2 Cattle Egrets (even rarer around DC white heron).
Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:57:54 PM
I may hit the Potomac River tomorrow morning around low tide. No telling what the rain system might ground
Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:58:17 PM
How are you doing today?
Tim (host) 4:58:38 PM
ok well a rare sighting is a good sighting.. are you part of a club ... or just solo
Tim (host) 4:59:07 PM
hanging in.. playing records.. standard operating procedure
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:03:20 PM
The Choir Choir Choir cover of Space Oddity is excellent!
Tim (host) 5:03:35 PM
it really is cool - i love it ..
Tim (host) 5:04:01 PM
They do a bunch of songs-- kinda alittle bit like the langley school project
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:04:10 PM
Standard Operating Procedure is usually good!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:05:11 PM
I'm part of a club but much of my birding is spur of the moment solo (or with my wife) these days
Tim (host) 5:05:59 PM
- nice- always good to have people to talk who share your interests so both are good
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:06:15 PM
The Watcher of the Skies intro was great too. Too bad it was only the intro
Tim (host) 5:07:14 PM
yeah it was a guy in his studio - thats all he did since it was him and massive keyborads in in his house =-- but it was a perfct recreation
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:07:37 PM
Indeed. Some of the younger birders like similar music and radio stations. I'm passed out last fall's WPRB Barn Owl stickers to them to turn them on to this station
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:08:37 PM
Between this being Carole King and being a demo, this is not the Porpoise Song version I know the best. I.e. it's not Bongwater's cover
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:08:57 PM
I love the Latin sentence though
Tim (host) 5:09:39 PM
yeah - the monkees did a version for thier movie head
Tim (host) 5:09:52 PM
yeah -- i think her version is my faverite
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:14:31 PM
I have been warming up to the other versions
Tim (host) 5:15:18 PM
duly noted = we will put that in your employee file " warming up to diffrent versions of porpoise song- steady progres expected"
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:19:35 PM
🤣🤣
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:20:03 PM
Shoegaze Running Up That Hill is a good version too
Tim (host) 5:20:31 PM
i know it works pretty well - all these poeple are very creative to make al this cool stuff- one good think about the internt
sean burns 5:29:24 PM
It amuses me when I hear it mentioned the promoters of Woodstock were under 30. That wasn't even a thing back then, the prevalent sentiment was "don't trust anyone over 30".
Tim (host) 5:30:59 PM
yeah its alot for four buys and no corp backers to put togeher
Tim (host) 5:35:35 PM
guys
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:39:17 PM
Who was Bert Sommer? I may have missed anything you said about him
Tim (host) 5:39:52 PM
he was at woodstock - but was cut fronthe film three times - so i thought we would give him a little airplay
Tim (host) 5:40:18 PM
he played there - but faded back to obsurity - never got picked up for the film
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:44:47 PM
Ah, thanks!
Rofflelectic 5:45:56 PM
I met a guy coming back from Cocker's wedding back in the 80's at F. McLintocks in SLO, CA. He said it was as weird and cool as he could expect. Go figure...
Rofflelectic 5:46:14 PM
Great interview today Tim!
Tim (host) 5:47:11 PM
how bou thtat - yeah i think poor joe was put through te ringer - or he put himself through the ringer- but the interviews i ve seen of him he is very down toearht and cool a - definately a dudes- dude
Tim (host) 5:47:43 PM
oh thanks - yeah i was sweatin it - never did one before
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:48:50 PM
I remember the SNL Joe Cocker parody where the actor portraying him kept falling over
Tim (host) 5:49:02 PM
yeah john belishi --
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:49:17 PM
So reading that about the wedding kind of fits @Roffle
Tim (host) 5:49:29 PM
he wa spretty messed up on dope himself -- unfortunately
Rofflelectic 5:49:32 PM
I was listening over on the river by where I live and I get it. I bought a Fishman MIDI controller for my guitar, and could totally relate to the sampling aspect. Nice to here stuff like that.
Rofflelectic 5:51:28 PM
I was not there Rob, but I heard it first hand hearsay. So I am going with it. I love CA for weird.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:52:29 PM
Play Sunny Day
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:52:48 PM
Oh, dang. Well, play whatever you want!!
Tim (host) 5:53:00 PM
sorry - didnt see it until too late
Rofflelectic 5:57:26 PM
Putting Nate Mercereau in Philly on my I should do that list. :) Thanks Tim!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:00:37 PM
No prob Tim what you played was excellent!!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:00:52 PM
Ty for the tunes, until the next time!
Tim (host) 6:01:02 PM
