Welcome, everybody!

can i b the 1st to ask for the desk next to brian?!

It's that time again....Serenade! 🎶📻 🐦

Hi Jerry & Mark

Hi Christine! Mark, I have such a clear picture of you during your primary education

hi christine did u know there was a quiz today?!

i think I’m not feeling too well / might have to be excused :)

Mark, I think all of Michelle's shows this weekend are almost sold out, if not already sold out. Good for her

wow that snuck up on us / i gotta check on availability!

this christian mcbride 11pm dj played some last nite too

it’s great

paid for by a hi-def compan to promote hi-sef music

@Mark, I knew there was another quiz coming, and I showed up anyway! 😄

haha i just learned when i checked jerrys FB right before the show / nearly had a panic attack :)

it’ll contribute to my recurring nite mare of not studying all semester w the final exam tomorrow

It will be easier this time around, Mark

You'll have to cheat off of Christine, it looks like

haha thanks / I’m surprised that shazam doesn’t pick up the christian mcbride

Lookit that little bird dere

Hi Brian, I was worried that you wouldn't be here for the Rock IQ test vol. 2!

Mark was concerned also

It just doesn't seem like Friday without a couple of things: one is hearing Serenade To A Cuckoo by Roland Kirk, or any of the other cool renditions.

I'll be there tomorrow

Another Friday hallmark for me is hearing The New Abnormal on Friday mornings. 📅 Appointment radio.

It's a beautiful day in Philadelphia too!

@Brian, have fun! I'm envious. I would go, but am helping a friend move.

Hi Tony! Who can keep track with you. NY, Staten Island, Philadelphia, Paris...

Thank you, Christine

Hey just wondering is the punk rock flea market indoors?

I think it's all outdoors in a huge parking lot.

Thank you

Hello all!

Hi, Zapshifter X!

Hi Zapshifter

Smokin' sax--a new one for me. Thanks!

Saw pictures online and a lot of them look indoors.

http://www.trentonprfm.com/

Maybe it rained that day.

Hi Dave, how are you?

@Zapshifter, I know in the past they have been held indoors at different locations. Tomorrow is outdoors in a parking lot. Luckily, it won't be hot tomorrow.

Yes missed that on the link somehow.

Dave, that saxophonist, Nubya Garcia, is not well known in the U.S.

You just don't hear by-golly in songs enough these days.

true that!

Just heard about this Hasaan Ibn release

The history is unreal. A mysterious legend. Never had gigs. Trane came over the house to play with him.

Amazing history!

Hasaan and Odean sound good!

Yeah, Russell. 26!

The piano sounds out of tune a little.

I had no idea of Odean's relationship with Hasaan, and that Hasaan was his teacher.

Well that was certainly worth waiting 50 years for.Great work Mr.Ali.

Hi Patrick! Isn't that story fascinating? Living with his parents at 33 while being a genius.

This is great here

Classic

Yeah, man!

(DTO sneaking in quietly and taking a seat in the back...)

Dave, get out your pencil.

CSN that is

Oh goddamnit.

Dave, are you 0-1 already?

Crosby Stills and Mr Graham Nash here

Pretty sure the only complaints of the game is that Brian D is playing 🤣

Haha! Hi Jerry, glad to see you. I know you got this one!

We are graceful in defeat. 📝

I’ve joined dave as a backbencher:)

No defeats. Here's your chance to overcome Brian and become new teacher's pet!

i even brought an apple 🍎 for the instructor/ that used to work back in the day :)

Record store employees circa 1980 to 1999 "Do you need any help" (repeatedly....) After 4th or 5th time.. me "Hi thanks I'm ok. I'm going to be here for about 5 hours or so. Don't worry about me..."

Yeah Jerry just saw that. Deja Vu! 50

and periodic reminder: crosby is insufferable & the reason why there’s no reunion

Haha, Brian, I like what you said before that alot!

Question 2: Randy Newman?

Stevie Winwood

That last phrase did it

It sure as hell sounds like Randy Newman! Good one! BZZZZZZZ. Brian was right.

here’s my trivia : crosby dad was rather famous cinematographer/ any idea famous western he filmed ?

No, are you turning the tables on me?

haha yes / fair game !! :)

I almost thought Cocker at first line but no... not raspy enough. Stevie really sounded like Ray for 1st minute.. then ya sounded like himself

movie starred Gary cooper

Turnabout is fair play...

thanks christine:)!

Give me a minute (to look in Wikipedia)

@Mark, Flip that script! 👍

Hold it Christine, I complimented your selection of Randy Newman!

Dear mr fantasy is going to mash up my friday mind

Day over

wow what a vocalist

Jerry, you need to produce a reggae version of this

@Selecta, you're lucky there is no Dread Zeppelin version of Dear Mr. Fantasy

No leave it just the way it is 🍄

haha stole my thought christine!

Dread traffic

I just read that CSNY book too last month or 2 ago. Forget the details on Crosby's dad. Interesting

Stevie wow. Teen prodigy w Spencer D

yes his dad was fascinating: the movie is high noon which has an incredible story behind it !

Steve Winwood must have been very young when he recorded "Georgia." He sounded so different.

That's impressive!

great book about film high noon by glen frankel / full credit to dj esoterica for pointing book out. her grandfather worked w the director carl foreman

Wild guess: Sly Stone

now back to flunking this quiz:(

WHAT.

Dave, you get a half a point. But no.

Ugh.... no one well believe i was going to say Pickett .. good one Jerry!

Half a point for attendance...

His doo-wop band, the Falcons, were great

Was off in UK land thinking it was an overseas admirer of soul.... but real thing ! Nice

Half a point for writing your name correctly at the top of the form...

hahaha

That organ swipe... esp in headphones

And points for WP for including the word "signifying " in there

Don't believe it when Jerry claims a question is a softball...

Bob dylan

Jerry, you lost a half-a-point

Ramblin Jack?

No, Brian

listen closely, you know him so well

hmmm very interesting if it’s who I kinda got a hint about

So familiar

Wow, this quiz is fascinating but difficult.

I dont have a half point to give

think i kinda hear the voice

No way! Mike Nesmith?

CHRISTINE FOR THE SCORE!!!!!!

what was his mother’s ingenious invention ?!

Liquid Paper!

Nice christine 👊🏼

CHRISTINE FOR BONUS POINTS!

Yes for extra credits

No, that's not how it works. I'm supposed to know the person during the FIRST song!

detention for anyone who sniffed white out :)

Permanent Magik Markers

Mark, is that why your nostril was white the other day?

haha 😂

Question 5: Joe Cocker?

Here sniff this marker kid (pushes marker into kid's nose) ....

Christine way to go!

Whoa how did u get that one ???!!!

Christine, forging ahead of Brian D in an upset!

Christine is on 🔥

🥇 for Christine!

belushi did a fantastic cocker imitation!

Haha, she gets a bag of money from Dave The Obscure

Huh! I guessed because he had a little of that shredded vocal color in his voice.

Incredible, Christine! This might be an upset!

Dave mason told a great story at keswick concert how much he admired cockers interpretation

I don't think so. Probably just a one-off for recognizing that thing that Joe Cocker does with his voice.

said he did it way different than how he wrote song

Lou Reed?

Phil Spector?

I think Christine is right. That is Lou. Way to go Christine!

OMG Christine is out of control. What? Lewis Reed is correct!

🏆 for Christine!

When he strains... and when you can hear the NY accent . Very cool Jerry!

That is crazy! But I could picture a baby Lou Reed in black leather pants and sunglasses singing that song.

Up to Lex...

amazing that u can hear him in the song / distinct at young age - yes pure ny accent

Ha! Selecta Jerry, where are you?

Sterling on that great gtr part

Moe on the skins...

And a bippity boppity hat

moe tucker later w half japanese:)

Walk it home...

@Mark, I didn't know that! Half Japanese is one of the many bands I was introduced to through WPRB.

you go Brian

I could lie and say i was on a call but ....

yes ! Nor did i until i heard a great 50 minute track on prb

Is someone going to get this?

Badfinger

haha esoterica played them yesterday:)

Jerry with the score!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow

🎉💯👍

Way to go Sel Jerry!

Good one, Selecta!

That counts! But why?

I am much better when they are not bar mitzvah songs

Haha!

looks like summer school for me again :(

Dan Hicks?

No camp for you, Mark!

Do i hear a kazoo?

Lovin' Spoonful?

Mungo Jerry

Wow!!

No Brian, excellent guess, makes sense. Yes kazoo. Good guess, Christine!

hmmm lovin ?!

Or Country Joe?

Another great guess!

Norman greenbaim

To the sky we go...

Good comeback, Selecta J!

That click on the echo... love that

Thanks everybody! Have a good weekend

CRAZY. Thank you, Jerry! Fantastic show✨

Killer track

Fuzz tone loveliness

Big up jerry

Thanks big man! Rastamensch!

Gimmie the fuzz

Guy lived well off this song. All it takes sometimes

Perspective: 1st one - 500 shazams/ this one 3.1 million !!

Good day y'all! Hope to see some at PRFM in Chentin

Thanks, Brian

Thank you!
