🥁

8:58am duke:

Wasn't Hot Tuba a spin-off of the Jefferson Airplane?

🥁

9:14am Webhamster Henry:

Pretty big band out on the Brazilian Prairie there.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

And it's a union gig, Webhamster Henry!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Ha ha ha, Google Chrome is asking me if I want to translate this page from its original Portuguese!

9:18am Gary:

Thanks, guys!

9:21am redkayak:

Good morning all :)

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, so this shot was taken in the UK?

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Hallo redkayak and Brian in Flaming Tuba, UK!

9:26am Maggie B.:

This gif is so awesome. Morning Doug and all!

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning Awesome Maggie B (my awesome adoptive Mommie!)

9:27am sashajones:

Hey Doug!

9:28am Maricôt:

I'm a happy gal <3

9:30am redkayak:

Bob Dylan!

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

So glad, Maricôt! This set has you (and everyone else) in mind!

Hey, does anyone else think that the icon <3 looks like a pregnant cow tipped over?

9:31am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

9:32am Maricôt:

or a sideways bum with a party hat

9:33am Sarah N:

That's more what I see too Maricôt!

9:34am Sarah N:

Or Dolly Parton...

🥁

9:35am Artie Haywire:

Ooh, tuba fondue night! My favorite!

9:39am Sarah N:

Flaming tuba photo looks like it was taken in the UK...

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Sarah N! Friend of yours? (Mr. Flaming Tuba, I mean.)

9:41am Sarah N:

No, that's just how we play them over here - it's so darn cold ;)

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

With fondue like this, who needs enemas, Artie Haywire?!

9:41am Sarah N:

Loving the sounds by the way Mr DJ!

9:42am Uncle Michael:

Are we sure that's not a euphonium?

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Loving that your loving, Sarah N!

Are you listening on your mobile euphonium, Uncle Michael?

9:44am Sarah N:

Now you come to mention it, it could be either, Uncle M.

9:45am Uncle Michael:

For the sake of clarity I always use a Sousaphone.

9:46am Peter Nelson:

Is a sousaphone a cheap telephone call in France?

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

No, a sousaphone is a telephone call you get from the other guy's lawyer.

9:47am Uncle Michael:

So much for clarity.

9:49am Uncle Michael:

Just over six hours till the non-waiver trading deadline. Can you all feel the tension?

9:49am Peter Nelson:

You phone him, I'll phone Sue.

🥁

9:51am Artie Haywire:

Ain't no difference between the two.

9:52am redkayak:

@Doug..... Nice set!

9:52am Lore:

This Declouet track is a killer, thanks. I'd previously heard a different version on that great Zydeco Birth collection.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
The Cubs are going after yet another Orioles pitcher. (Can we have Jake Arrieta back, please?) Tommy Hunter, apparently. He's a flamethrower who gives up late-inning gopher balls. Enjoy him.

@redkayak
I will tell all them fellas on the prairies of SW Louisiana you said so.

9:55am Holly in NC:

Morning! It's a lovely day here in Durham :-)

9:56am Uncle Michael:

I believe the Hunter rumor is a feint to get San Diego to move on a deal for Tyson Ross. Arrieta wasn't sharp last night, if it makes you feel any better.

I watched the Les Blank, Clifton Chenier doc last night.

9:56am Peter Nelson:

Uh? A bunch of junior Boy Scouts are fetching a painting of a guy who sets fire to errand boy's testicles? Are we sure we speak the same lingo?

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hey! Lovely Holly in lovely Durham!

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

Now this is some sweet-ass chanky-chank right here!

9:57am ndbob:

morning Holly!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Are you saying the Cubs feel feint, UM?

9:59am Peter Nelson:

Well they would do if someone flame-throwered their balls.

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Gardangit! I hate fooking websites that play music involuntarily.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Let's keep it to flaming tubas, please.

10:00am Uncle Michael:

I think the Cubs FO is going to be very conservative. Prospects are more precious currency than is cash. No team starting four rookies has ever made the post-season. It's nice to be relevant but this isn't the time to mortgage the future for a run now. That's sort of feint.

10:01am Uncle Michael:

Lord help us all, I'm working on another three-hour special program. This one will air whenever it's ready. It could be months...or just weeks.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

Lawtell Playboys: www.hechicero.com...

10:02am Alex In Illinois:

Ooops, I thought Mr. Nelson was providing a translation for those French lyrics.

10:03am Peter Nelson:

I'm going to start talking Cricket on my show. "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey."

10:06am Uncle Michael:

I'm hoping for a grand dissection of the rules of conkers.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Peter Nelson
Check out the song titles on Chris Corsano's record, The Young Cricketer: www.discogs.com...

10:07am Peter Nelson:

You just wack the other guy's nuts as hard as you can and hope your's doesn't split.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Bon jour, Alex in Illinois!

10:09am Alex In Illinois:

Have you ever seen that video on YouTube showing what Cricket looks like to those of us from the States? I tried to watch a Cricket match once, but neither team was wearing the white uniforms, so I was lost.

10:09am Holly in NC:

This "Centering" is nice, Doug. I am shamefully completely unfamiliar with these people!

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

No shame, ever, Holly in NC.

10:11am Alex In Illinois:

Zr(d)ost Vootyay Doug!
That is my transliteration of the Russian morning greeting. I have no idea how to actually spell it, neither with Roman nor Cyrillic characters.

10:12am Uncle Michael:

One of the truly great pennywhistle virtuosi.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

My wife went to the Soviet Union with her school in 1972 an she still remembers how to order ice cream in Russian.

10:15am Alex In Illinois:

Whoo hooo! A slide whistle solo! Oh, wait, there was another kind of whistle too. No one is to throw stones at anyone until I blow this whistle! -- even if they do say: "Jehovah".

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Another odd instrument gets the main solo in our next selection. Anyone care to guess the instrument?!

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Spoons? No!

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

A vacuum cleaner? No, silly!

10:18am Sarah N:

serpent? crumhorn?

10:18am Sarah N:

cricket bat? the sound of one hand clapping?

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

No and no, Sarah N.

10:18am Peter Nelson:

@ Alex. Just watched it, accompanied by Dougs tunes, which went rather well. Funny. Pretty much what American football looks like to us.

10:19am Sarah N:

a mouse organ!

10:20am Peter Nelson:

@doug a sarod?

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

No mousebits at all, Sarah N. And a sarod is hardly odd. No!

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

I will fill in the song title once the instrument begins soloing so as not to ruin the surprise.

10:25am Mr C:

Roy Brooks was a talented guy who somehow fell between the cracks of jazz fandom

10:25am Sarah N:

a euphorium, which = euphonium played with laughing gas

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Sadly, Roy Brooks fell between his own cracks. He was a splendid artist with mental health challenges that the community around him was unable to cope with.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@Sarah N
You're either euphorium or against 'im.

10:28am Mr C:

Didn't know that...

🥁

10:30am listener james from westwood:

Musical saw in the house!

10:30am Uncle Michael:

What's that old saw...

10:30am Peter Nelson:

a saw?

10:30am Sarah N:

@Doug - you, sir, are master of quick wit and repartee, with an almost fanatical devotion to the pun ❤︎

🥁

10:31am listener james from westwood:

Myah, saw, see? /edward_g

10:31am Sarah N:

should'a saw that one comin'

10:32am mauri:

flamin frumpet friday. hellou!

10:34am coelacanth:

olá Doug, Drummers, other Lovers

10:34am Peter Nelson:

Karen's or Richard's?

10:35am Alex In Illinois:

I am not a big fan of American or Canadian football either or any game that keeps having to stop and have meetings. It reminds me too much of work. Then there is that sport called "Curling" that reminds me too much of doing housekeeping chores.

10:37am Webhamster Henry:

I lent this to someone (and she hasn't returned it), but this is the musical saw book:
musicalsaw.com...

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hola, mauri! Willkommen, coelacanth!

10:39am coelacanth:

'funny you play saw music here,just as i enter. late last night my 22(?)yr.old neighbor was trying to describe this home-made musical device,struggling a bit. i said "Oh,a saw!" he said yes he guesses it was a saw.
...i think he'd never seen a non-electric saw before.

10:42am Holly in NC:

This is fun!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth
Jeez, I hope no one tries to play an electric saw. (Though I'm sure it's been attempted.)

@Webhamster Henry
You came, you conquered, you saw.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Irma Serrano is "fun," too. In a totally unhinged way.

10:43am Alex In Illinois:

The singing dog? That reminds me of this house from which emanates canine moaning every time I walk my own dog past it.

10:44am Uncle Michael:

O's trade imminent, Doug.

10:44am coelacanth:

Purely coincidentally i get to listen "live" this friday, which is unfortunately rare...so i get to Thank you again for that song,Doug.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

OK, only partly unhinged.

@Uncle Michael
The Tommy Hunter deal or someone else?!

10:47am mauri:

maxima meija. what a lovely name!

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

This wonderful Ecuadoran singer was shared by Gary Sullivan at his Bodega Pop blog: bodegapop.blogspot.com...

10:49am Uncle Michael:

Parra and maybe Revere from the Brewers for who? Zach Davies, mebbe.

10:49am coelacanth:

Doug @10:42 -now you got me thinking! i have played electric saw blades (in fact i use one as a doorbell to my apartment); and electric fans,while in motion...but i guess the sound of the machine itself would drown out any cool scraping sounds.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Do me a quick favor, coelacanth, and count your fingers. (Don't use your fingers to count or you'll get caught in an endless loop!)

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@UM
Parra is a terrific player. Not the answer for the Birds by a long stretch, but a terrific player.

10:52am coelacanth:

hold on, this is taking some time...

11:02am V Priceless:

hey Doug and Drummers...

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Mr. Vice Pricelident!

11:07am V Priceless:

haha!

11:07am coelacanth:

Howdy V!

11:09am Dean:

Folks: Phil Gelb is crowdfunding his cookbook, which is much more than a cookbook. He has hosted dinners prepared by him, featuring entertainment by very cool musicians at his Oakland flat. See the list of luminaries: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cookbook-notes-from-an-underground-restaurant#/story

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Gelb's blog: philipgelb.blogspot.com

11:15am still b/p:

Helloooo, summer day drummas. Anybody throwing in a quick tribute to pedal-steel master Buddy Emmons? Can anybody explain for me how I got pretty quickly from checking Buddy Emmons videos yesterday to a most enjoyable Al Green performance of How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? I forget the route/reason.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

For the first time in weeks I do not have to run off to work after my show and I get to listen to Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Wondershow in its entirety! Here is his playlist page: wfmu.org...

Yo yo yo, still b/p!

11:18am coelacanth:

Philip Gelb's food looks delicious! i kind of wish i wasn't eating already!

11:19am coelacanth:

olá still b/p

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

I was wrestling with myself over which Sumo Brothers track to play.

11:20am Dean:

Gelb's food *is* delicious.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

I wasn't wearing an oversize loincloth whilst deciding (just to shoot down all those mental images you were about to have).

11:22am coelacanth:

Doug,i think you won. Excellent choice.

11:23am Dean:

I always wanted to be a sumo wrestler for Halloween. Trust me, it would be scary.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

I bet you went and had a mental anyway, coelacanth. Oh well, it's a free country.

11:25am Carmichael:

Good morning, Doug and punsters.

11:26am V Priceless:

hey, coelacanth! Any new tunes in the works?

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Rise and shinola, Carmichael!

11:26am still b/p:

Give the drummer some chankonabe.

11:26am coelacanth:

i wore a diaper once for halloween. i didn't resemble a sumo wrestler. 'doesn't mean it wasn't scary.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

This track always makes me think I have a 33 running at 45. Then I remember it's an MP3.

11:29am Dean:

I'm gonna guess I wore a diaper for two, maybe three Halloweens. Long, long time ago.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

I love it when people pronounce it as a three-syllable word: di-a-per.

11:32am Dean:

This sounds like it's playing at mp6.

11:34am Dean:

See James Fallows on, inter alia, pronouncing all (even more) of the syllables: http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2015/06/announcer-voice-unified-field-theory-edition/396104/ Item 8.

11:36am Mr C:

Love this!

11:36am coelacanth:

hey V,Thanks for asking. -more really long tracks. probably uploading one today to bandcamp.i've been sitting on it for over a year.
i've got an email from soundcloud purple-stared for your latest song; i haven't had a chance to hear it yet.

11:37am Mr C:

Ain't that a groove..

11:37am coelacanth:

Dean @11:32 Hahaha!

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

So much to love, so little time.

11:41am Holly in NC:

Just came back to love, yay for love! xo

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Let love surround you, Holly in NC, even if its wearing di-a-pers (see above).

11:42am Mike East:

Good morning, Doug, and those who dig Doug.

11:43am Mr C:

Billy Harner is a barber in South Jersey today..

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, Mr. C. From hair-raising to hair-razing!

11:45am Sarah N:

In Britain we call diapers "nappies"!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Which is correct:

The Magic Tones
The Magictones
The Magic-Tones

???

11:45am Mr C:

His big hit : "Homicide Dresser"

11:46am Mr C:

At different times..all it seems

11:47am coelacanth:

oh you brits are a funny bunch!

11:47am alison:

this is a great show.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Pronounced, rather unnervingly, as "HOMO-cide"

11:48am Mr C:

Jersey accent man...

11:48am Uncle Michael:

I hope you can all join me at the top of the hour:

wfmu.org...

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, alison. Kind of you to say!

11:50am still b/p:

Now...Pee Wee, Shuck & Huey...THAT'S a righteous name.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone is familiar with Huey, but the Black Panthers Pee Wee and Shuck are lesser known.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Got Hinky? Get yours with Uncle Michael viral and infectious Hinky Dinky Time radio show. Lots of catchy tunes. Playlist here: wfmu.org...

11:53am Dean:

Ah, a paean to the Second Amendment.

11:53am Holly in NC:

(melt) Wallace Brothers) (swoon) And yes I still love Otis...

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Holly in NC
I almost went with Otis, then I put my foot down. This version is so so so great.

11:55am mauri:

great show doug

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Yes, Doug...great stuff. See you all in the next room.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks mauri and thanks everyone.

@Dean
I secretly desire that the word "paean" appears in the comments at least once every playlist.

11:57am Sarah N:

I concur ♬ Great show!
See you there Uncle M...

11:57am northguineahills:
