Chat is officially open! WELCOME to the WEEKEND!

Hello Readie, missed the Merideth Monk you played last week that i requested , and i he

i god to be here this week!!!!

Oh no Greg! Sorry you missed it!

i'm glad to be here this week

That's fine, that's what matters, you're here now!

Hey Readie, Bill here - love Alpha Mist. I tried getting this album awhile ago, and it was sold out. I see bandcamp is taking preorders for a repress - just ordered one of the 6 remaining copies.

Hey Bill! That's good news! Love the Mist! How are ya, Bill?

Doing fine - lazy day today. How are you doing?

Superb! Always love hanging in the chat to start the weekend! It was a long work week...

i saw Daniel Lanios at Carnegie Hall - the basement space- awesome show

This lack of concerts is really a drag

We can see some shows in the spring!!!

i saw him at the TLA- a really great space on South Street in philly

Yeah, I hope live music comes back soon! Don't think I ever made it to the TLA

i remember seeing Ricky Lee Jones on her Ghosty Head tour, at the TLA--she had the place memorized at one point

I remember Ricky Lee, I was into her music for a while

Werner Herzog's film 'Wings of Desire' has nick cave performing in it

I'll have to put that film on my list, kentman!

where's this band from?

Urge Overkill from Chicago!

There was the riddle solved "Zoey ridden inna zoy-say" is the first line of "Pink Moon"! Actually "Saw it written and I saw it say"...

The only problem with Pink Moon is it's so short!

My thoughts EXACTLY, Bill!

Happy birthday, Dennis Wilson!

hmmm.... never heard of Joanna. I'll have to check her out - this sounds good.

Her voice is so expressive, and the harp is evocative

Very creative instrumentation and yes, her voice is very expressive. I've just bookmarked her so I follow up. Is her ys album a good place to start?

Yes, indeed- that's where I started!

I'll do that then - thanks Readie!

Sure, Bill! Enjoy!

Joanna Newsom Monkey and bear was AWSOME! this is why i luv your show so much. i am going to buy her music the readie

thx Readie

You're welcome, Greg! My pleasure !

Sublime transition from Morby to Cohen in the last set - really nice! Rip Greg - you're missed.

Yeah, the Allmans, love those guys

Saw Wilco in concert in the Detroit area last year and they killed it - much harder rockin' than I expected.

Boy you get around, Bill!

Great Program Readie---gotta go Be Well everybody

Take care, Greg! Have a great week!

Oh that 80's sax and channeling Bowie...

Show flew by - thanks for taking all of us along for the ride Readie. For what it's worth, I like your lyric better than Nick's, haha! Take care and stay safe. Peace, Bill

HAHA Bill- that's great- thanks for hangin' out! Have a great week!

Everybody have a good week, and stay safe until we meet again! Peace!
