We just loved seeing Raph's last release show at CDCC!!

I heard Raphael at ---> House of Targ <--- just last week. He does play in many levels of venues, he does. (Hi everyone!)

9:57 AM, December 18th, 2025
Ryan Bresee (host)
I feel like he could play with anyone, anywhere.

I don't always get on to listen to Whatever's Cool With Me but when it's the Christmas episode with Julie I always try.

Ryan Bresee (host)
Ha, hi Mark and thanks!

10:01 AM, December 18th, 2025

Actually folks, the (somewhat sparsely-attended) Targ show, where he played second, was not only quiet but enthusiastic about him. So much so that he remarked on it (diplomatically) a couple of times in his exiting thank yous. Mustn't underestimate the younger crowd.

10:01 AM, December 18th, 2025
Ryan Bresee (host)
Fair.

10:02 AM, December 18th, 2025

Damn! That Sarah McLachlan!

I always love listening to your show, Ryan, and I especially look forward every year to your Christmas show with your mom. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Margaret! Merry Christmas to you too!

Is there recorded evidence?

Good morning how is everybody doing this morning? Respect everybody in here people out there, listening specially to the host with the most.

Oliver Schroer is magical. I plaed a few tracks from this album on my farewell to Janis....

10:36 AM, December 18th, 2025
Benoît
I was, also, fortunate to hear Oliver Schroer at the everlovin' Black Sheep Inn... And I have that El Camino album. Great stuff. The echoes and resonances in some of those tracks...

David Dalle
Benoìît, I was at that House of Targ show. I was disappointed by the sparse crowd. Dumai Dunai was excellent and deserved a bigger crowd, I was surprised. And Raphael usually sells out venues, so between them, should have been a lot more people. L :(

10:39 AM, December 18th, 2025
Benoît
Also, Lindsay at the Sheep. A few times. Dang.

10:41 AM, December 18th, 2025
Benoît
David: yeah, what can I say...

10:45 AM, December 18th, 2025
Ryan Bresee (host)
David, I remember you playing Oliver on your farewell to Janis.

No fighting, Bresees!

Kid Koala is a genius, I think.

11:10 AM, December 18th, 2025
Ryan Bresee (host)
One of the most creative people out there.

Ya can't beat 2 Bit Blues, IMO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4lKaAE-xfk&list=RDt4lKaAE-xfk&start_radio=1

YES! Kid Koala Storyville Mosquito "experience" was ABSOLUTLY MAZING! Sooo creative ... definitely not your usual "puppet show". Theater? Opera? Film? Spoken word with no words spoken? Massive undertaking to get on stage, for sure. A LOT going on, many many many moving parts. Defies description. As all of his other creations have been. Never miss Kid LIVE!.

I sorta miss record-zipping.

Gee, The Beatles made tunes! Durned good tunes, too. Firing smoothly. Emmanuel's impressive.

My mom was just wondering if anyone listening was a Beatles fan.

Here's a factoid from the wiki: "Festivus clock In a 2013 CNN segment on the origins of Festivus, O'Keefe spoke about the real-life experiences related to the holiday. O'Keefe's father, who originated some of the now-recognized Festivus traditions, used a clock in a bag nailed to a wall, not an aluminum pole. It was never the same bag, rarely the same clock, but always the same wall. The nailing was most often done in secret and then revealed proudly to his family. The younger O'Keefe told CNN: "The real symbol of the holiday was a clock that my dad put in a bag and nailed to the wall every year...I don't know why I don't know what it means, he would never tell me. He would always say, 'That's not for you to know'."[16] "

Nat 'King' Cole was also in the era of great nicknames. Fats Domino (& Waller), Satch'mo Armstrong, etc.
