uno clay 10:21:08 AM
that was sick
uno clay 10:23:14 AM
ug searching youtube there is a not great band called the Panics competing for the name
Dan Unterburger 10:24:16 AM
"Treadin' Schuykill" - pronounced "Skoo-kill." You know, like the river through Philly?
Brian D (Donor) 10:24:18 AM
SKOO kill round these Philly parts. That's the way the Dutch word went through the Philly meat grinder of pronunciation anyway .
Brian D (Donor) 10:24:56 AM
River and notorious traffic jammed expressway that hugs it
Dan Unterburger 10:24:56 AM
Not here to only weigh in on pronunciation: also to weigh in on an awesome set so far.
Tom 10:25:26 AM
good morning all !
Brian D (Donor) 10:25:39 AM
Tom!
Tom 10:26:34 AM
Bri !
Jen (host) 10:26:48 AM
SKOO-KILL! I gave away that I'm not from the area!!
Tom 10:27:15 AM
been a busy work week, meetings really cut into my PRB time
Jen (host) 10:27:58 AM
Thanks, all! Learn something everyday. Sorry about the meetings, Tom! I archive the shows for this purpose (see Mixcloud link above).
uno clay 10:33:12 AM

Jen (host) 10:35:19 AM

Stevie P 10:36:20 AM

Jen (host) 10:37:29 AM
oh, my!

Jen (host) 10:42:52 AM

Stevie P 10:43:18 AM
bala cynwyd
Jen (host) 10:44:57 AM
I'm going to start doing the show with a pronunciation translator nearby ;)
Jen (host) 10:45:32 AM
Everyone here born and raised in the area?
Tom 10:46:09 AM
yes, here
Jen (host) 10:47:54 AM
Right on! My mom's family was all Philly area. Yet she didn't teach me to pronounce everything properly. ;)
Tom 10:50:20 AM
so much disagreement on how to pronounce most of these, you can't really be wrong
Stevie P 10:51:45 AM
When I lived in Manayunk, a French dude I knew always pronounced it Yamanuke
Jen (host) 10:54:31 AM
ha! ok we'll just keep it interesting, then!
Brian D (Donor) 10:57:40 AM

the_dude 11:00:34 AM
Spot on in that one Brian
Brian D (Donor) 11:04:00 AM
I am reminded of GBV Back to Saturn X... just the title anyway
Brian D (Donor) 11:05:14 AM
The Back to Saturn X Radio Report really. That little mash of things that almost became an lp
Brian D (Donor) 11:06:12 AM
H2 Terrors into TV Priest= radio gold. Makes so much sense
Jen (host) 11:08:10 AM
YES!
Jen (host) 11:08:29 AM

Brian D (Donor) 11:08:39 AM

Brian D (Donor) 11:09:29 AM

Jen (host) 11:09:50 AM

Brian D (Donor) 11:11:02 AM
Google is celebrating the letter ñ. Enyay Yay! Nyuk nyuk nyuk
Brian D (Donor) 11:12:34 AM
Wow Mississippi Fred! His LP I Do Not Play No Rock and Roll is a must. For the songs and the narration. Great double cd version of that
Jen (host) 11:12:54 AM
oh nice , I dont' know that one! thanks for the ref
Brian D (Donor) 11:18:28 AM
Ya he's a character. Really gives a good history of his version of the folk blues
Robbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 11:22:21 AM
I think Junior Kimbrough is pronounced like Kim-bro
Colin McDonnell 11:22:43 AM

Brian D (Donor) 11:34:47 AM
Ouch this is exceeding Iggy Raw Power decibel levels. Vol
Brian D (Donor) 11:35:54 AM
Vol does not go much lower. Wish i could use speakers but headphones at work is for the best. As you said about neighbors ha!
Brian D (Donor) 11:36:52 AM
Mark me too. Bring on the Terry Gross anytime
Stevie P 11:38:47 AM

Mark 11:38:54 AM

Mark 11:40:28 AM

Stevie P 11:41:43 AM

Jen (host) 11:41:56 AM
