The chat? It is OPEN!

The show? It is UNDERWAY!

Was I dreaming, or did you mention doing a Christmas Eve marathon during last week's show? That would be delightful antidote to the pandemic blahs!

It is no dream. The marathon will happen on WPRB in 2020!

Excellent, I was afraid it would be another Covid casualty!

Oh my... Bud, if you don't know, you have a treat in store...

5 pm on 12/24 until 6 pm on 12/25.

Especially if you like snails.

Bud, I'm turning my dining room table into a mini radio station the Monday after Thanksgiving. Hopefully it all goes successfully. Regardless, we'll all be together, separately.

🐌

Now if only someone could convince Thomas to do another of his post-marathon sound collage shows it would be a Merry Christmas indeed.

Oh, I would really enjoy that. I don't know what the post-marathon plan is but I can ask the Program Director.

I don't think I've heard him on the air since things went virtual.

Thomas "retired" from radio well before the pandemic hit, but I hope he'll return one day.

Indeed - I know he came back for a few short stints after his "retirement", so I certainly hope so.

I know someone in the chat asked about Wilbo a few weeks back, I emailed him and he is doing well. Unfortunately unable to record shows from home, but doing well.

I'm so glad to hear that Wilbo's doing well! I've missed his presence on WPRB very much. Please tell him 'hello' from me!

I shall. He misses all of us a great deal and the feeling is mutual.

Hey DJ Jon, hello all in the chat *waves*

Hey hey!

Oh good, I'm glad to hear Wilbo's doing well. I miss hearing him on PRB also.

it was i who mentioned i miss the banter between js and wilbo in the transition between shows My how we all miss the old timey days :(

Yeah. I should wrangle how to get him to "call in" for a future show.

Haha plus we all miss his opening show theme !

That would be awesome if you could convince Wilbo to do a call in!

Will workshop this idea now that I've had it.

Yeah, it would be great to hear his voice again!

This reminds me that I still have Engine Kid's "Novocaine" on my wishlist

I think they're running out of stuff to post but I hope some live tapes might be next up.

You had played "1/4 Mile Thunder" a while ago and that went right on the list.

Yep. All that stuff is "name your price" so whatever they post I snag.

Since we're about to have a mid-show dinner over here at Ice Station Solomon, what's on YOUR dinner docket?

Spicy vegetable tacos!

Well, that sounds delicious!

I'm pretty optimistic for that exact result.

A few spinach & cheese raviolis

🥃

I had "leftover ravioli that someone didn't eat a school for her lunch" as my pre-show snack.

Sounds delicious and effecient, DJ Jon. And DJ Dave, are you drinking whiskey for dinner?

Hey 🐛 Hey 🐛 Hey 🐛.

Yes. With a side of raviolis, coincidentally. And salad.

Nice slate of "live" shows streaming over the next few weeks... Parquet Courts, Dinosaur Jr., Soccer Mommy. And the METZ one from a few weeks back was a blast.

💗 Sahel Sounds.

Nick Miillevoi concert replay tonite right ?

Correct.

Hmmmm - unfortunately gives me a wistful feeling / think he was in the last indoor concert I saw last winter 🥶

I am pretty sure my final indoor concert was the final Everybody Hits matinee show as well.

Any other chatters like to share their final indoor concerts/ i sure hope my go to showplace survives

Ooooo!!! Something to look forward to this coming January! Liking this a lot!

Yeah, I am certainly curious to hear some more.

Yes something to look forward to ! Pretty crazy video popped up when I shazamed it

Right now my most looked-forward-to record of 2021 is probably the Jane Weaver.

OOOOOOoooo! I love Jane Weaver as well! Yay!!!

(But that's the case with me and most years that have a Jane Weaver record in them.)

Understandable!

How is Kate Bush NOT the singer of Al Massrieen?!

Excellent question. To the time machine!

That Habibi Funk collection has been one of the best revelations of 2020, imho.

Yeah, hearing volume 14 on Hanna's show was a game-changer for me.

Easy for you to say, DJ Jon.

*volume 13.

Hi Jon, man this music is a great accompaniment to my salmon, green beans and boiled spuds, and it helps that I happen to know said musician, thank you for the great selection of tunes.

He's a good one. Someday, when this is all over I hope he and I will go on a pizza adventure.

I love the horns on this one.

Yesiree!

I swear it got considerably colder in here as these spooky sounds were broadcast.

I'm not afraid.

We've reached the last song of the night. Thanks for making the chat a fun place for another Wednesday. I'm back here from 5-8 pm ET in seven days...

Thanks Jon, be well, looking forward to Wednesday week!

Absolutely. I enjoy seeing several of you in other show chats during the week too!

Dito!
