Hello everybody and welcome to Serenade to a cuckoo

Hi, DJ J.G.! Thank you for giving us the lowdown

Thank you!

Wow, I never heard a jazz rendition of How Deep is Your Love before!

Christine, this artist (and the vocalists) are so great, I can't express how much I enjo their music.

Thanks for playing the John Hollenback group. Another one to add to my list. 📝

That track by The Nels Cline Singers was just staggering. Need to hear more from that album!

I agree, Christine, it's epic

Is this an alternate mix of Gimme Some Lovin'? Sounds a little different from what I'm used to.

Absolutely, Bud

Good ear. It was re-channeled stereo. I used it because the orignal was very muddled.

Ah, makes sense. You're right - I remember it sounding a lot duller. Some things stood out more than I'm used to as well.

I hear you! but it makes for better radio.

in 2020

For sure. Some 60s pop & rock tracks sound a little "dated." It's remarkable how fantastic many of the jazz recordings from that era sound, though.

Interesting and true when I think about it!

Not sure what just brought back this memory a few days ago: as a teen in the early 80s working summers with my carpenter father, I spent a few days working on an apartment on 2nd street. I took a walk around the block at lunchtime and found your store! I spent every lunch hour there that week, spending every dollar I earned.

Thank you! I miss that place and time.

I think it was shortly after that that you moved, correct? I spent many happy hours in both locations over the years.

Thanks Jerry for playing WIND!! I can still sing along and haven't hear it in a million years. Man, I'm old

Great tribute to Jerry Jeff Walkertnx!

This track is bumpin'

The entire show is bumpin'! Thanks, DJ Jerry

Going to listen to some SpiroGyra now :D

Better not!

Allison, alot of people have told me the same thing today. It's a badge of honor that you remember it.

Christine, thank you.
