I've got a 108 bunker dollars for anyone who can tell me what song played three songs ago

If it was instrumental/keyboard based, I'd say Gilgamesh's Underwater Song.

Groggy prog time...Can’t fall back asleep. Guitarist from Freak Kitchen will haunt my dreams.

The desired effect.

Grog prog

😴 🎸 🤡

Good morning, dude. And Liz Bot.

Does Liz Bot ever sleep?

I feel like we were just talking about Zapps 5 mintutes ago.

Or, in keeping with this year's swag, we're playing "Phrog".

I actually just remembered a band you've played lizbot, you said you specifically listened to them early morning - just interesting enough to engage but not too much cause you were still asleep...

Mickey, we probably were.

...ganger, that was it

Zapp’s “Spice Weasels Ripped My Spuds” Cajun Chips

The dude, about to say- Yes! Ganger! From Scotland

Seasoned with Cosmic Debris

When I had to get up at 5 am for a particularly long commute for a couple of years- Ganger saved my pre-dawn brain.

Mickey, I can hear Frank’s ad now

@the dude- Ganger album was specifically “Hammock Style” and tracks Upye and Lid Of The Stars. Saw them at the TLA in ‘98- first time they’d been to the U.S. They opened for Mogwai and were so much better than Mogwai

3rd band on the bill was Godspeed you black emperor. Also better than Mogwai’s playing that night.

it was quite the party in this listener lounge last nite / surprised it got cleaned up in time for Dave’s show :)

Morning, all you obscure sprawlers 🍵

@Mark, yeah, there was crusted stew everywhere!

Hi Christine! 👋

Good morning, Christine.

Liz, now that you mention GSYB, I think I was there.

Guten Morgen, Christine.

Ha what a show! Sounds fun, Always enjoyed a surprise opener but still surprised to hear. That album is good though, threw it on the rotation after I heard it on your show - morning christine!

@Mickey, ha! Yeah, I remember Ganger somehow didn’t have a place lined up to stay at that night and ended up sleeping on John Stanley from SpaceBoy Records’ floor

The dude, glad you enjoyed it!

Soft Machine is great to wake up to.

Certainly easier than Freak Guitar.

Ahoy, fryday freaques!

Good morning, Jimbeaux.

Sup Jim.

Hey, jimbeaux

Mickey, I found an old ticket stub. Apparently it was March of 1999. The March of the moody Scotsman (and Canadians) I think Godspeed projected some abstract stuff on a screen, and some supermarket surveillance camera footage or something.

Hello, jimbeaux! You have recovered from StewFest ‘21, I see

Was up past curfew! Rollicking fun.

I’m not sure why I’m awake. I think I slept 5 hours this whole Drive. I was up in the chat until the end of lili’s show.

Dave the Obscure’s show beckoned!

I PUT COFFEE IN THE STEW

B......AM

BAM

G'mornin all!

LagASSe, we’re impressed with your largess

I put Essence in my muesli.

BAM lagASSe

@jimbeaux, it was indeed a rollicking good time and a rolling boil

😄 any spaghet shots this morning?

Oh, I need spaghet shots to recover from Stew Fest

🍝 of the 🐕

😄

Spaghet shots should be in the mail, and I'm sending out last night's stew shortly

Make mine a shot of cold stew

This stewd abides

Tequila Mockingbird

Roger that, Moore stew please. Emeril has a license to stew

Did that sax player just tease "Tequila"?

WAIT

Peewee is dancing on a bar somewhere in celebration

LOL that's what they're playing

Just call Emeril’s cooking Stew Art Noveau

Sorry, emeril still sleepy

🤖 never sleep

Yes, Emeril. A stealthily reimagined Tequila.

Yes they were barely sketching the melody of Tequila much like Herbie Hancock's re-imagination of of Watermelon Man on the Headhunters LP

Well done

Another great man on the Thunder broom

Mmmm primus in the mornin

I don't wanna work today, I wanna spend all day in the chat! I suppose primus is helping get thru it though..

Also I don't think I knew that there was an earlier version of watermelon man!

Brian D, I talked to George last night. He says, while he saw Primus many times in the 90s in Philly and surrounding metro, he was not at that Lehigh U show

O you gotta hear that Lagasse! It's the quinty essence version. A real gasse gasse gasse

Actually true: I worked with Tony Levin a few years ago! Really kind guy and obviously GREAT musician

Mm thank u Brian

I made my wife her request ringtone. Herbie's beer bottle blowing intro to the Headhunters version of Watermelon Man.

This is a beautiful find.

Emeril, WOT? I am impressed. KC’s anniversary show at The Met blew me away

Thanks, Christine.

I saw George Winston with my parents at the Wilmington Opera House twice. He played without his shoes

Dang! I missed Tony Levin! Anyway, is there any cold stew leftover?

Readie!

Hey Lizbot!

Hope you caught a nap!

Yes, shoeless George. He would also stop in the middle of a peace to tweak the tuning of his piano.

WAIT that was george winston? I've ALSO worked with George Winston! Lol

I thought I’d be all stewed out, and yet I still cruise for stews

That was George Winston in a mashup.

2022 wprb stew crui(se)

Sweet

The master chef is here! Good mornin' Emeril!

@Emeril, you got to work with Tony Levin?! That's awesome

I thought I’d never go on a cruise, but I might have to get in that stew cruise

Morning, Readie!

And to think, I contemplated the Cruise to the Edge

I like the gif caterer comment above tho fearful it may inspire more stew discussion:)

Hello Christine! always nice to see you in the chat!

When I could’ve rode the Cruise to the Pledge

Steve “Howe you like my stew”?

Good morning ǝʌɐp

Morning, commie!

And Liz and emeril you maniacs do you ever sleep?

Demon Readie on vocals there?

Oh man, the MOMENT Readie appears, there are goblin voices in the music!! Readie, you still in the dark side??

Good morning, Commie.

Yes, and the people in my zoom meetings this morning are going to be astounded

I remember that Modul piece from a morning drive to work months back. Like that

Commie, short answer: No. was cold-stewin’ til the break of dawn

G'mornin and g'mornin! And YES emeril loves me some sleep, but wprb is now part of my late night and early morning rituals

@Mickey, 𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖚𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖆𝖇𝖑𝖞

Gotta tend the stews morning noon and night

Emeril sleeps very little but very thoroughly

Readie broke out the evil font. Now we know it’s bad. Will she be redeemed in time for Recherché today?!

And @Christine yes! While not a chef I have been a house manager at a sweet venue in upper bucks county called the Sellersville Theater

Oh, I know that place!

However of course now I am back to cookin stew etc :)

@Emeril, that's awesome! One of my last concerts pre-pandemic was seeing CGT and Montreal Guitar Trio there.

Indeed, a sweet spot.

I hope so, LizboT! call me the 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖆𝖊𝖒𝖔𝖓 𝖕𝖑𝖊𝖉𝖌𝖊𝖗

Emeril can’t sleep. He makes stewdious preparations for the morning stew to feed this morning crew

Sellersville is a great venue. My fave place to see Robyn Hitchcock. Hope he can come back soon

Gotta be enough left over for the Stew Cruise crew, AKA Cruise to the Vedge

Yeah?? That's awesome! Didn't you guys ever see me there? I'm Emeril Lagasse btw, celebrity chef. Sellersville's also my hometown! (wikipedia is wrong)

Good morning, Commie! Any zoom adventures on tap for you this morning?

Morning stew is almost finished! Hmm... here taste it, what does it need?

Hmm, some crumbled Voodoo Zapps would be nice, Emeril

Cumin and kefir

Cardamom (I've got chai on the brain)

And mr. tayto’s prawn crisps 🍤

It’s going in an Indian/Cajun mash-up direction

So many bags of potato chips have gone in my stews lately because of yous

I've been looking forward to this EWF segment, evaD.

My parents had all those George Winston records and I made an all George Winton seasons + blues mixtape in high school. Hard rocking mix for workouts . I really did, though. And I wanted his arrangements, but he never had sheet music

"yous stews"... new Philly emeril stew restaurant?

I’d go!

That's awesome!!

Earth Wind Fire says, Remember the children, PLEDGE

Make 'em all lamb based and call it Ewes Stews.

You may be able to ask George Winston himself for sheet music

I will do!

Ewes Stews & Cold Brews

@Mickey- Ewes stew > used stew

This mix up is so cool evaD. Only on PRB! Pledge please!

Always loved those EW&F interludes, but they're a pain to cue on air.

A remark Hugh made reminded me, don’t be janus-faced. Pledge and Egdelp

(Imagine in Dave’s patented backwards font)

Pledge or be cast into the Serpentine Fire.

Love this !!

and the oft sampled Brazilian Rhyme.

Great EWF mash-up!

Mmm, like my stew gooey like this bassline

Nice one, evaD

Nice quintuple shot of 🌎 wind & 🔥

Interluudes...sorry

@Liz Bot, your wordplay is double plus GOOD 💯 🤖

interluudes, nice

Miss Mickey on the phones!

Oh boy

YES!

Mickey is so fine!

All true.

NOW!

Choreographer Toni Basil needs to design a dance for...holy god!

Emeril, more Toni Basil in the stew, stat!

Toni Basil. Appears in the famous chicken salad / toast scene w Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces. A fun chat discussion back in 2020

Toni Pesto-lence

She wasn’t the waitress, was she?! Gotta rewatch! Haven’t seen that since high school

Ha fun teaching a young student Hey Mickey for a Women Who Rock show back at Princeton SOR. Fun song to play along

Toni Basil is also in the New Orleans scene in Easy Rider. So... it's only right there should be some special Toni Basil Cemetary Acid Trip Zapps.

She is seated at the table w Jack. I think she was one of the hitchhikers tagging along

Brian D, women who rock- is that a music camp akin to Girls Rock Philly, but for women?

It’s meshuggah to eat your Zapp’s without toney basil

It was one of the shows that SOR (School of Rock) put on that year. And often repeats every year or so in their rotation

I prefer Toni Basil Cemetary Acid Trip beignets

That was Princeton SOR circa 2018 i think. So many shows in 3 years i was a teacher. At 2 diff schools. We may have done that song again in an all 1980s show...

Brian D, did you teach at Philly SOR? If so, did you know Matt Hollenberg or Jonathan Pfeffer?

Several friends taught at Philly SOR over the years

I taught a radio DJing class/history of radio at the first year ever of Girls Rock Philly. Then my daughter was in a GRP band 10 years later

Sprinkle the beignets with ground mummy, Liz

@Mickey, all this NOLA Zapp’s talk makes me meshuggah for some muffuletta

No but my friends the owners own all 3 franchises Princeton, Doylestown and Philly. My former bandmate and friend is show coordinator for all 3 schools too. Dante C a great drummer from Bucks Co (member of Dandelion and also Rudy and Blitz)

Did Paul Green sell his stake in SOR?

Can't keep up today! And evad, you say Cuneiform Records has to be sifted thru but you play so much great stuff from them

I just for real received notification that a man armed with scissors in near my block. The Scissorman Cometh

Love Cuneiform / Steve Feigenbaum forever!

Did they "cut right in" with that breaking news? Sorry

Yes, I try to sprinkle in some Cuneiform.

One of the most reliable labels out there

@Liz Bot is Deirdre in your neighborhood? ✂

I wonder if it’s actually Deirdre Dionysiac out there

Christine, jinx!

@Liz Bot, LOL

Say his name 3 times and he’ll appear & snip snip ✂️

LIZ IN PHILLYS RULE

I will lead the Liz In Philly revolt against corporate radio and flavorless stew

There’s a great Alvin Lucier doc I saw at the Rotunda years back

Paul Green has been out for a while. No longer associated w SOR. Sold to corporation and that was not a bad thing really. It runs well. Good kids & teachers &staff, polite , accepting of all people, big time pro diversity and anti bullying. I had a great experience there! So cool that exists for kids and parents and teachers!

Phone auto-corrected to Alvin Lucifer!

Readie & Alvin Lucifer are sitting in the doom

Is this the Grime Wiper?

Can I hear this again.....

I'm in a 𝖉𝖔𝖔𝖒 𝖟𝖔𝖔𝖒 at work at the moment, cooking up some shenanigans

@Brian D- Good to hear. Yeah, I was pretty sure Paul Green had been out of SOR for years. Just as well cuz I heard stories he wasn’t so easy to work for!

Grime Wiper plus Alvin the chipmunk.

Convert the non-believers, Readie!

Grime Wiper and Evil Alvin

Convert them to WPRBeelzebub

Okay, Alvin’s channeling Goblin Read again and again and again

Music on a Long Thin...Stew

Woah, just realized I too am sitting in a room again. Freaky.

I am stewing in a room

getting ready to make plasma for fusion accelerator

a side gig

I am stewing up a shroom

That's a helluva stew Readie

Protein source for the Stew-ture, Now

Stew so hard, I’ll need sutures

When things get proggy, I break open a tin of Henry Cow Beef Stew

Better than Dinty Moore by a lick or two

a CAN of stew

STEWTURE

Aw, yes, Readie! We need those beans from Ege Bamyasi

Anyone have any recommendations for books about cults?

YUM fried eggie bamyasi is best

Making my hongry

More Books about Cults & Stews

Emeril, I don’t know. There seems to be a hundred streaming docs & doc series about cults, though

A lyre? A prog phrog for sure!

This one’s evil from the start! I can get behind this

Bonus Infernal version

Okraschoten ist nicht verboten

Happy Family! Cuneiform comes through again!

The John Szwed book about Sun Ra is a good book about a nice cult, Emeril

Ege Bamyasi can is okra.... the mucilginous vegetable. Gumming up the works since.... Emeril can provide more info

May I request [We’re a] Happy Family: In memory of Joey Ramone, dead 20 yrs ago yesterday - Ramones / Happy Family mash-up? Still waiting to be made

Brian D, mmmm, I love okra. Appropriate to the NOLA theme

I am still sitting in a room, I am still so fine...

Smothered okra with 🍅, Cajun style

Jimbeaux has been summoned

I make okra/corn/pepper tacos, delicious

Thoughts on gumbo? I want Ege Bamyasi okra in my jambalaya

My thoughts are now on gumbo too, Liz

As it should be

etouffé

Stouffer’s

carb/sodium canivale

Stouffer’s stovetop Stoom

carnivale

pete davidson has been cast as joey ramone in Netflix movie / hmmmmmm

Get Bobby Cannavale outta here! emeril is the Essence if Carnivale

*of

But these days, maybe IF is apt

@Mark... 🤔 Odd

Mickey is stewing on a Moom(in troll)

@Mark, I saw that about Pete Davison being cast to play Joey Ramone. I regard that as a bad move, to put it mildly.

have you noticed how the director of the sandwich bread commercials has instructed the actors to roll the "R" in Guy Fieri? So it comes out Guy Fi-eddie"

yeah my reaction too :(

@Crostini Christine- Yeah, seems an odd choice to say the least

random non-sequiter for your morning

Sandwich bread? Is there another kinda bread?

well, I didn't want to plug the product haha

the sandwich is the star of the ad

Muffuletta, glad I met ya

@Readie, no I didn't notice! That seems like a strange choice

Of all the foods I ate in NOLA, none can compare to muffuletta

Pretty close Liz, I did just read a Tove Jansson book

Oh what?! I read a Tove Jansson book of short stories on the beach in LBI a couple summers ago...same book I wonder?

@Christine, yeah, maybe Guy prefers the Italian pronunciation

ZEUHL GRUEL 🍲

Mickey, did it have a short story that was vaguely spooky about architecture/ building a house?

Liz, The True Deceiver. short novel. I can also remember The Summer Book. Haven't done her stories yet.

Nice, Christine. Please sir, may I have some more? (In Oliver voice)

"remember" was supposed to be recommend

@Mickey- I wanna check out more of her non-Moomin books.

That's doesnt sound like it would be a roll but a rather a tapped "r". Correct fot single "r" in between vowels in Italian or Spanish .

Tapped r sounds like double tt in butter

Sangeet for 9am Saturday lunch and Extremities weeknight midnight quitting time while working at the Vineland Home Depot circa 1998, was how I got into WPRB

@Mickey, I have Jansson’s The Woman Who Borrowed Memories

Rolled rr sounds like Spanish radio announcers... tongue taps roof of mouth rapidly and repeatedly

When writing phonetic pronunciations for rolled 'R's for radio and TV scripts, the "D" is often used to replicate the rolled R sound for those whose mouths can't quite get around it.

@Mickey, that's a cool PRB origin story 📻

Guilty as charged Readie! I'm a Spanish major that can't roll his r's! Oops

I love the world of phonetics, it's a nerdy obsession of mine, @Dave

That goooooooey bass!

There was a brief window where you could get WPRB that far south, glad I caught it and it was during high school.

Jonas Hellborg on bass.

Me too. Phonetics and accents. Like a magnet sponge mynah bird i am to them.

Our listening range has migrated a bit around the region

More Hellborg up next.

You like gooey bass in your gumbo, Liz?

Thanks, Dave! This is amazing

You know I do! I like all forms of bass goo

My uncle used to dial phone directory assistance for all different area codes in USA JUST to hear the operators' different accents!

Drizzle on more syrupy bass

Wait, are we talking about the instrument or the fish?

Dave, ever catch Fire Museum shows in Philly, sometimes at House Gallery and various other venues. Used to be at Highwire Gallery often before that closed. Steve Tobin from Fire Museum books a lot of Indian classical musicians

@Dave, that's kinda cool. I used to listen to am radio when a kid to pull in different areas in the East to hear accents, new music, and even Canadian French

ew, not syrup on the bass 🐟! We’ll need a Super Bass-o-Matic ‘76 to handle that

But yes to syrup on the bass 🎸! 🥞

@Liz Bot, was aware of their concerts, have one of their CDs, but never got to attend any. I don't get out much. 😞

@Dave, well yeah, now they just have some online streaming shows and that’s it.

Introducing new Syrupy Bass Zapps

Dave, Fire Museum had a Kiranavali Vidyasankar carnatic vocal performance in February

But online only. I’ve been streaming those shows

She is a great singer.

A guitar player spent 22 years learning King Crimson's "Fracture" (Fripp) and wrote a book about it. Fripp commended him said his failure was a great success.... https://www.guitarworld.com/news/a-guitarist-spent-22-years-learning-to-play-king-crimsons-fracture-and-wrote-a-book-about-it

Haha, oh boy. Gotta read that later!

Sangeet has not been making concert announcements. The web links are impossible to announce in a useful way.

I saw KC play Fracture a few years ago. Apparently they don't play it much cuz even Fripp can barely get through it.

Crosses fingers for Stylophone cover of Fracture.....

Chick Corea Chicory Emeril Louisianee Coffee Blend coming up i hear

this prog set is killing it

Komm gib mir deine hand

Mmm, chicory corea

Thanks, uno.

Yes! More stylophone!

I am out of control on these breaks this morning Dave, but you asked for it.

Mickey, which KC show?

Sie liebt dich coming up next? Year?

Yes, and Sie Liebt Dich

Sorry. Maybe another time.

@Brian D- great minds

Fracture was at Count Basie, Red Bank. 2017?

Have any of you been watching Fripp & Toyah’s Sunday Brunch all pandemic-long like I have? They are wacky

Love those!

@Mickey- Thought so! George & I drove from LBI to Red Bank for that show

Liz, I remember seeing y'all at the Met a couple years back too.

And love this High Life guitar playing! So beautiful!

@Brian D- Think Toyah simply has all those costumes last laying around, or is there a Sunday Brunch costume budget?

You can just hear the sunshine bouncing off the guitar strings...

Been catching some of the Fripp/Toyah madness too. Love Robert's laugh at the end of all of them.

@Mickey- Yes! 50th Anniversary show with Mr. Various!

It's hard to beat Soukous.

Bob Fripp with Billy Gibbons beard...

They had a mystery third brunch guest recently. A masked man

Monsieur Various was at the Red Bank gig too.

Lotta crepes were consumed.

We didn’t run into you guys there. We were up in the balcony for that one.

I love taking stock of all the K Crimson mega fan shirts at those shows

Yes Christine! Sunny guitar. I know LizB Toyahs wardrobe & prop dept and staging is crazy

Ha, yeah, I remember daring Mr.V to count all the all-over Schizoid face shirts he saw.

King Crimson at Red Bank: shortest ladies' room lines EVER 🚺

Love this Virunga!

You'd be surprised these days, Christine...

@Mixkey, eat a crepe for ever schizoid man shirt!

Women dancing in the isles in Philly a couple years ago

Liz, nearly

Court of the Crimson Spam is one of my favorite images on the web

Christine, shortest ladies room line I EVER did see in a massive crowd was NEARfest APOCALYPSE. There were three women in the whole hallway and I knew two of them!

KC at the Philly Met was the last show of theirs I was lucky enough to attend. Bathroom note: Unisex toilets in the balcony area I was seated in.

@LizBot, that's crazy!

All us folks sitting in the balcony together at shows and not even knowing it.

KC at the Met was my most recent KC show too. George with me at that, but also was in NYC at a wedding on a boat during one of their NYC shows for that tour- I told him he should dive off and swim to Fripp

i'm back, sorry, had a breakfast rush

thanks for the cult book suggestion and my thoughts on gumbo: it is good

My wife loves Zappa from youth as do I (and she loves WPRB of course a keeper yes) and w went to see Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa at Keswick when they were doing Live at Roxy lp. No line for ladies room. Gents line was just about down the steps and out the front door.

What's the last show everybody saw pre-lockdown?

Back when Dweezil was allowed to use his surname in the name of his band

also duly noted re: the unisex bathrooms. the met was p dang cool when my partner and i saw bob dylan open it, as i have casually mentioned before ;)

I was also at the KC Met show! Sitting almost directly behind me was John DiLiberto of a completely different radio show.

@Brian, I believe it! The Keswick needs to solve the bathroom issue.

Balcony Pals: a new series

@Bud, wow! PHILLY PROG CABAL

Hi, Bud!

Philly Met = crammed elevator included David Fricke

PROG CABAL 4EVA

4 LYFE

LOL

Caution highly addictive chat room...

welcome to any newcomers to the chat, hey it's me emeril. if you become a monthly donor i will cook you dinner in the future

My last show was Abbie from Mars tapping/stomping on electronically processed plywood.

Last show before the lockdown was taking my 82 y.o. dad to see the Chieftains’ final tour at the Kimmel for his bday

Good one, Liz

Lots of aged people in a giant sold out venue 3 days before shut down 😬

woof, glad you made...

don't remember what my final show was but i was considering seeing thundercat on 3/22... then uh yeah

Glad they got back to Ireland in time

My last show was California Guitar Trio & Montreal Guitar Trio at the Sellersville Theater. @Emeril, were you there?

I think the last show I saw was Vernon Reid, Calvin Weston, and Jamalaadeen Tacuma packed into Bob & Barbara's.

I had tickets to Wire, and didn’t wanna chance it, but i couldn’t cancel that Chieftains night with my dad...I mean, I would’ve had I known just how insanely risky that was, though!

@christine No I was not there but I think i remember that show coming up. CGT are regulars there

First show I had tickets for that was cancelled was the Philip Glass White Lama world premiere :(

Looking at my calendar, i dont wanna believe it but the last concert i saw before lockdown might've been (working) Live Wire, an acdc tribute band on NYE

Ween Met Opera House Phila Dec 14 , 2019. From Pork Roll... to ... Weasel a fine time. Last show for me.

@Bud- Nice! Buskirk and I were just talking about the time Jamalaadeen came to WPRB. He was VERY interested in finding Central Jersey thrift shops to replenish his vintage store!

@Bud, that's a shame. :(

I had tix for Malkmus in April 2020 with the middle eastern set-up. Hope he still does that again someday.

but i've been lucky enough to be a camera operator for a handful of live streamed concerts, so it's been like a personal concert with the band playing to a theater that is empty besides me, emeril, with a camera

George & I were supposed to see Kin Crimson at the Mann Music Center on our anniversary weekend in mid-June 2020

@Liz that's pretty cool - I didn't know Mr. Tacuma had a vintage store!

Yeah, where is this Jamaaladeen vintage shop?

Emeril I am right down the road in Dub-land Pa. Perky See address. But i could walk to Dublin intersection in minutes.

@Brian D. Who forbade Dweezil to name his group after himself?

The goo bass LIVES. Emeril, okra & gooey bass for my stew, please!

HIS BROTHER AND SISTER!

@bud was that part of the glass festival at annenberg UPenn?

Awesome side gig you have there Emeril

Diva and Achmet

@Mark yes, it was.

Moon & Dweez are on one team. The youngina on the other

Next time you see Calvin Weston, ask him “Are you ready to be...a Planetarium citizen?” Trust me.

thanks @mickey, definitely fortunate

Thanks @mickey, definitely fortunate

oop

agreed on earlier discussion about keswick bathrooms/ i love the place but the bathrooms :(

I just had a bit breakfast rush too emeril! I'll make your breakfast if you make me dinner some time - and my last show was Om at underground arts and it was awesome. Had tickets to see horselords but it was the first covid concert casualty !

@bud / that musta been very disappointing

Yeah, Philip Glass is still on my bucket list. He's not exactly young anymore!

I can’t even remember all the cancelled shows I had tickets for...lessee...King Crimson, Bikini Kill reunion tour, Nick Cave, Wire...but that wasn’t cancelled, I missed it for fear of virus, They Might Be Giants for my friend’s bday...ThaT ENTIRE Bang on a Can Fest!

enjoying the show!

@the_dude, I bet people are lining up for your homemade scones

I never heard anything about that family squabble. I remember seeing the two brothers on Conan, seemingly at peace.

Thanks, Katt!

Same here with Horse Lords, Dude. Still haven't seen them...

@Mickey- Jamaaladeen’s store is Redd Carpet Room, but it’s by appointment only. He dressed my friends Nick Millevoi & Dan Blacksberg. He’s like a clothing guide

Yeah I forget where it was for, it was a Saturday though and we were going back and forth should we go? And then, decision made for us, canceled!

Thanks Christine, the breakfast focaccias seem to be the big sellers today 😄

@Mickey, I saw Horse Lords at Vox Populi with Eric Ruin’s Ominous Cloud Ensemble

Thank you Dave, and everybody

Better times David long ago . I saw that too. I think Achmet wanted to be a Tom Jones like singer at that time

Thanks for your assistance, Mickey!

Always a pleasure, Dave, and same to you.

Thanks for another fine show, evaD!

Thanks, Bud!

Is this same band as Dixie Dregs? Were they called that at some point? Rad song. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bass

Last time i heard Dweezil was calling it Dweezil Plays Whatever the F--- He Wants!

lovely show dave & now for the can’t miss dave/jen transition

They dripped the "Dixie" part just before this LP.

Thx, DJ DTO & DJ Mickey ✨

Zappa bros have since made up, I believe.

Steve Morse on gtr! A Deep Purplian for decades now

Good Mickey!

I expect to see you at their first show post covid Mickey! And yeah great time today thanks again for all the great tunes, wish I could donate again!

Bud, remember to ask Calvin if he’s ready to be a planetarium citizen when next you see him perform, whenever that may be!! It’s a reference to a song from an album he made in the late 80s that he regards as his silliest

@brian i think they did makeup / I’ve seen dweezil a couple times at keswick he’s excellent

Oh, Jen is not up next. I lied. It's actually Brian's "These Vibes Are Too Cosmic"!"!

Great show evaD! Good to hear Mickey in there too!

@Liz I'll keep that in mind! I bought his excellent latest album at that show.

Thanks, Dave & Mickey!

Woah, These Vibes next?! Awesome!

Thank you all for your support, and keeping me company.

Thanks folks.

These Vibes! Wow
