Welcome Righteous ones! Recherché is ON THE AIR!!!

And a Righteous Friday to you, Readie!

Hey Addie! First one in! Good to see you!!

Happy to you too!

With the new start time I can be here on time and not miss anything! Even with the snow driving on the way home.

We got over a foot!

Readie! Addie! Hello!

Wowza that's a big drop Addie, just rain here today, tho maybe freezing up tonight.

WOW! That's like amazing! I used to get that kinda snow in noertheast Pennsylvania where I grew up!!!

hey readie, dsm and addie!

DSM! Ahoy!

Hi DSM! Welcome! Good to see ya, and hey ESO-T!!

Hey Esoterica alright

Excited for Timpani Time

@DSM-Yeah, coming up after the BOOTS OLYMPIAD!

I'm counting on you to vote for your favorite cover of an earworm-worthy 60's tune...winner will meet next week's contenders until we get the GOLD MEDAL WINNER

the winner song that is, everyone here is a winner as you know!!

What’s up Readie!

Hey Buck! Not much, howzabout you?

Diggin da jamz thanks

Cool - glad to hear it...

Fun! I’ll be voting for sure then

I hope so... a little something different tonight to start the "spring" season for Recherché on WPRB!

This artist I first heard on Jerry's STAC show last week ...

Amazing improvisatory trombone!

That’s not a phrase you hear much!

Lol@Addie, not often on this program, at any rate..

Hey Readie, hi folks. Arthur Fiedler did a hell of a lot of 60's covers. Just sayin' :)

Yo roffle

Hi Roffle! yeah, man!

Heya Addie!

A foot more of snow! Good grief!

No Boston Pops tonight...but maybe for another round...?

It’s delightful! I’m in heaven, roffle.

@Readie - Just had to throw it out there because of the Joe Fiedler piece. :)

Heavenly snowfall! The rain has washed away most of the 10 inches we got here in central Joisey!

@Roffle - copy that! good one!...I wonder if they're related? lol

Yea, that snow is outta here! I don't know much about Joe Fiedler, but just saw he was fan of the Sesame Street composers which is cool.

Y’all, I’m coming down to Philly next week. I’m gonna eat ALL the pretzels.

hi Readie ~

Brand new !

@Addie - Girl with a mission! :)

Hi @Addie @Roffle @DSM

Heya Matthew!

Hi Matt!

Sounding good, DJ Readie!

@addie like the snake

Hello addie, Roffle, Matthew, Esoterica, DSM & Buck Wild 👋

Thanks! I was jealous of Christine’s owl! Figured the snake was the next best thing.

Heya Christine!

Let's all use emojis!

hi hi Christine

🐍🌀🥰

👢💫🥾

👢

Hey, Christine! Thanks!

Ready, boots?!?!

👢🚶‍♀️

etas listas??

Janis Ian # 1 for my vote!

Straight from HELLGIUM-- the Hellsonics!

hi christine!

💋 liking this one

Hi Matt, Bri!!

I'm going in Brian's direction, this is awesome.

Hellgium 🇧🇪 I love it

Yeah, great vocals!!!

Hi, Eso!

Hi Brian Hi esoterica

written by prb fav lee hazelwood :)

will you eat timpano with the timpani (thinking big night here!)

I feel like big night is always coming up here in various show chats!

Hey Matthew, Christine, Roffle

i love big night

Brian Janis Ian did a boots?

just read that timpano is more popularly known as timballo. i want to try it

Timpani from Big Night 😍 I need to re-watch that

*Timpano*

hi matthew and mark, roffle!

Absolutely love this!

I just watched Big Night after Thanksgiving dinner, great movie

it is a great film. i loved ian holm, esp. in chariots of fire

Hi Louis! cool!

Hi there DSM and Esoterica.

Take a bite out of the ass of life!

I know, they forget a chord change in this one...drives me crazy!

yeeesss! he was so good, like a trickster figure in big night

💋💋 i melt with Russian

@Brian - Whoops thought you were talking about that hellsonics piece. Silly me, but Janis Ian is a curious choice.

Why is there no sitar emoji?

Oh, that's a problem - no sitar emoji?!?!?!?

That *is* a problem.

I was so sure there would be, too

And... it's NANCY!

Ya mid 1990s Janis Ian did a great version. Saw her at the Philly Folk Fest do it solo and she held it down well. Great guitar player

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I will search that one for next week, maybe, Bri!

all you younger generation, listen up!!!

ELLA 💜

She makes it her own...

there is a Crispin Glover version......

I am going to take these requests for next week's round!!!

oh i would like to hear the crispin

This went to another level entirely.

boot 'em

sitar! my fave

🗳 It has to be Ella.

Oh my, such fun! Gonna be hard not to vote for Nancy buttttt, I'm going with Hellsonics. Loved the drums.

crispin version is pretty interesting. Can we do write in votes :)

The Hellsonics turned it up for me, and I liked it as the most in you face version.

Sitar for me all the way!

Crispin rears his head again! I have to look that one up.

Love Ella, love Nancy, and the Hellsonics are great. I never heard one track before and voting for that track just because there is no other place I would have heard it than on this show. My vote : Yvonne Přenosilová Boty Proti Lásce (Boots Against Love)

Readie may be the tie-breaker...

McFly!?!

haha great station ID !

@Brian D, please report to the chat. It's Timpani Time!

Heyyyyy Readie! Joining late but been listening on the FM..I kinda liked the Gloria Benivides "Boots" 'cause it was different..

Heyy Alan! Thx for voting! We need more votes! Bri, where are you?

Hi Msrk!

I mean Mark, of course!!! sorry, man!

I'm a Philip Glass fan, Just Lovin' this piece!

hi readie wow phillip glass is 85 never would have guessed that

HBD, Philip Glass 🎂🎉

sitar

Thanks Hawkeye- you put Balsara into the lead!!

@Mark, yeah, Philip Glass is ageless!

Hawkeye’s my husband 🤩 say hi all!

Awesome! Hawkeye - love your pic!! Welcome!!!

<3 ty

What a cool couple, may I say, Hawkeye and Addie!!

Aw shucks ☺️

Dude no way, someone just played moonchild last night!

Re: Philip Glass, from the look of the photo, he's probably left-handed...I find myself mirroring his staring image!

You're kidding me, Tyler B!! Great minds!!

Yeah, it was Lizbot!

Whio played it, Lizbot?

Hi, @Hawkeye 👋

Oh, I know she's a huge fan - I can't listen to her show cuz I'm prepping Recherché then! But we are radio sisters, after all!

haha lizbot also played Phillip glass too great minds :)

Oh wow - Yeah I love Liz- miss her!

That was a great reminder of Labor Day weekend 2021... Crimson at the Garden State Arts Center playing that song in its entirety as the dark summer night loomed overhead. Maybe the last chance to see them in the US. I waited just 50+ years enough

I used to just park up places and sit in my 85 coupe deville and listen to that album on loop through my battery boom box for hours

I liked or REALLY liked all of the boots entries, and it would have be a tough choice between Hellsonics and the sitars, but then you played Ella Fitzgerald, @Readie!

Roger does a Timpani solo in this one...

Yea, I had to vote for Ella! @Christine!

Yeah! Killer track!

This rocks so hard! Brian and his Echoplex!!!

Just tuning in, no Turkish "Boots"?

Hey, Andy, this BOOTS OLYMPIAD will continue next week with more contenders! What's your fave this week, Andy?

ROGER on Timpani!!!

I'll try to find a Turkish Boots for next week!

Brian May is a guitar god!

Hard to say a fave now, we'll have to scan this site:

http://dansmoncafe.blogspot.com/2006/11/cover-up-2-these-boots-are-made-for.html

You can vote every week for your fave, there will be many more to come!!

Was there a winner? I may have missed the announcement

The contenders are the ones I've played...

DSM- announcement at the end of the show...Singing Sitars is in the lead!

One of the first times I ever listened to your show I was so excited you played a queen song you don’t usually hear on the radio. At the moment not remembering which one!

Was it '39, Addie?

YES

Yeah, Alan's fave!

Brian May off to the stratosphere beyond and back!

Yo, Brian d!

Another Brian May composition

ECHOPLEX

Bri, do you have a fave Boots cover?

Addie!

@Addie: Yeah that was a request about 10 years ago, It's about time travel on a long trip to the stars...

I absolutely love that one as well, Alan! A high school boyfriend out it on a mix tape for me once which is how I got into Queen!

who doesn't like a good time travel plot

O tonight you mean.. ? I guess any of the foreign tongued Boots were my faves

A sheer heart attack solo.

Dang! That was a track and a half.

Brian May has been doing Astrophysics lately though...

May was one of the tam on the Pluto mission.

team

When you come back from a trip to outer space and all yer friends and fam are gone.... for like 200 years

From my kiddo (listening with us now) : Hi I am the child, Z! 💚🐍💚

Ya Czech or Spanish Boots for me. I will flip coin and say Spanish for the vote. Gloria Benavides

Great, thx Bri!

Hey Bri! My same vote too!!!????Benavides..

OMG, you'll have to do a John Solomon style Ice Bear marathon for Boots with this list: https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/6437

Love when they come back in there

(The timpanis)

me too, DSM!

Oh my gosh, and the monkees now? Superb!

4 kings of EMI= the Fab 4

Yay, Monkees!

Dolenz on Timpani!

Wow this made my night.
