Hi everybody! Thank you for joining!

It's that time again...! 🕛

Today we will kick out the jams and the bad vibes in our world!

Greetings and Happy Purim.to Jerry and fellow listeners.Recovering from Post Saint Patricks Basketball hangover.

Hi Patrick, it sounds like you had a good one! Thank you for the Purim wishes

Purin: A great holiday for kids

I believe Cheech and Chong wrote basketball Jones for me.

Tournament addiction is healthy

Too bad the players can't all stay amateurs

Hello all. Great start

12 noon. Cuckoo time. woo woo

Hi Brian, thanks, glad ou're here

My favorite guitarist, Joe Bonamoksa

*waving*

Jerry's Room will be good for people who lean towards hippie music!

*freak flag flying*

...high! Freakin' A

We're really in the run-up to the weekend now 🐦🎶 🎹

Yes! Thank you! We're taking no prisoners today.

@Mok, 💯 top marks on your new handle. You're always running aMok!

Jane B. 🇨🇦

Ha! always aMok! Yes, Jane's version of this is just imbued with beauty

That's her hubb on trumpet. Great!

Whatta team!

Hehe

Why is Joe Bonamoksa giggling?

Played some Dhafer Youssef earlier today! From "Malak".

Jerry, these piano chords reminded me of Abdullah Ibrahim's music; another force for peace and anti-apartheid. 🇿🇦

This guy is Tunisian and split for France

Definitely chords for peace.

He had good reasons, no doubt.

Sure can hit those high notes.

Dhafer Youssef twice in one day ✨

I love the fact that you often play him. It's like taking your vitamins. Dave, you play some beautiful music!

Thanks, Jerry!

Feeding the listeners vitamins!

Whether they like it or not! 😝

Haha!

Youseff's father was a muzzedin. He turned his father's cry into a cry for freedom for every man!

Passin' out the brainzy vitamins likes they should me spinach? Looks like me comes to the right place!

Aye, Roffle!

RS, what kind of tattoos do you have on your arms?

Sadly I have none. Scared of needles. :)

Not even one of a Third Eye?

Still got my booster though!

Ahhh the Jupiter Variation lp!

ai yai yai

Dave the Obscure dishes out the Zeuhl gruel every Friday morn. Along with the vitamins.

The Rabbi is gonna ask questions at dinner, but it'll be fine.

Zeuhl? 🤮 * ...hears radios switching off across the listening area...*

Love that Real McCoy lp

Hi Jerry, little late to the party today, but better late than never...

What a beautiful song!

Hi Stephen, never too late! Thanks for listening.

What a voice! I read she was classically trained in opera singing.

This is sweet! So lovely...

Wow this is great

I have to hop in the car; I will be listening!

Loving this drummer!

Yes, this is great

Hi, Rob! RS, what drummer was that?

Thanks, Christine!

I think he meant the Larry Fuller band drummer but not sure

Was hoping we might hear a version of this one airing now

Thanks, Brian. That drummer's name is Jason Tiemann, and he is yes, excellent!

this is mind boggling

Joe, do you know this piece?

new to my ears. I dig it

Glad you are digging it

Really glad!

Oh thank you for this Jerry! I love this Pharoah Sanders so much! It always makes me tear up it's so beautiful! Also, I associate it with the return of spring.

Sweet, Teresa! It is full of hope!

Hey, Teresa! Good to see you again. Haven't seen you for a while in the chat.

Sorry, making lunch. The drummer from the Larry Fuller set.

Yup, Jason Tiemann from NY

I love a drummer who is just right. :)

I know -- it's been a while! I'm taking a BIO 101 for Health Professions course at a community college in Worcester, and it's kicking my butt -- very challenging. So I've been trying to really hyper-focus on my schoolwork. But that doesn't mean that I'm not listening -- I'm ALWAYS listening! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Good luck with that course.

"If I had a Rocket Launcher" ?

Aw, thanks DTO! <3

Good luck Teresa, A good study practice is to take a break every 15ish minutes for a few. Science told me so. :)

Nice, Teresa, good luck!

Taking the show on a nice walk. Worked thru lunch. Clocked out for hour to get some sun. Perfect soundtrack!

haven't had Phil Ochs on a bit. Heavy protest music

Thank you, Brian!

Good flat picker backing him up!

that line about pepsodent ha... that chicken dish chain restaurant ad that just recently interrupted during Ukraine updates... same thing

Funny you noticed it. It's very noticeable, excellent! I have to see who it was! I assumed it was him!

Phil Ochs was a prophet who died too young.

Right on< Patrick! Yesss! Right on!

wow Phil had quite a downfall.

Gold Lamé suit era Phil ha

Loved to f with the audience. Love that

OMG! Jerry now your scaring me...I'm a few years older than you but so many times I recognize parallels between us...but this? it's just plain weird...my best friend from about 1967 until he died a few years ago was also called by FANG!

There is a great documentary about Phol Ochs life story.I believe it is called Phil Ochs For the grace of I?

Phyllis Diller's husband too

Phyllis Diller's husband? GTFO! That's too funny. As it should be i suppose.

PBBB. oh hell yeah

Thanks Jerry for the tunes!

Hey esoterica! Room and tune time. :)

Well Sasha, glad to have those parallels. My friend Fang is still with us, a Doctor living on an island off of Washington.

yes indeedy, roffle! hello there

who was married to phyllis?

i missed that part of the chat but am intrigued

Fang was her fake name for her fake husband in her act Eso

No she was not married to any of these musical artists mentioned

Esoterica, so glad you're here!

This is the stuff here

Esoterica's roots as well!

I can see Brain D's ears perking up with this guitar

Yeah Bloomfield wow

Fang was also Soupy Sales' buddy.

They actually teach Harmonica at Julliard these days. :)

Sasha, sorry about your Fang!

thx for having me jerry! wow! this song rocks. ok thx bri! now i understand. i forgot about the "fang" character as her stand-in hubby.

Wow that Fang gets around

Speaking of Elektra my friend Cynthia Gooding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Gooding), an Elektra artist, moved to Princeton in the early 1960s and died in nearby Kingston in 1988. Earlier in her life when she was living in Minnesota she knew Dylan, and in 1962 when she had a radio program on NY's WBAI she did a fascinating interview with a very young Bob (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=483m8ADfG48&t=6s).

isn't Bloomfield always the guy pictured on the ground on his back playing

i always said i would like to be a fly on the wall of elektra circa 1968

this right here giving me low-key the doors the end vibes

I believe Mr.Sales compadre.was White Fang.

What happens in D stays in D. :)

Raga Blue

Thank you, Jim. I look forward to reading about her!

This song is about being a heroin addict

Ahh yes, White Fang!

Deja vu! Bryan MacLean on the vocals!

Brother of musician Mariia McKee

Half maybe

A great song, really!

Bryan wrote Alone Again Or too

Thank you, Jerry! 🙏

Been listening, but haven't been able to hop in the chat 'til now.

Suite Judy Blue!

Thanks, Christine!
