🥁

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy Uncle Sideways! Keep the train a-chugglin', Mike East!

9:09am Gary:

World in a Jug ... could almost be a Wallace Stevens poem

9:10am mauri:

good start of the weekend to all!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Wallace Stevens accepts the compliment!

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

It's the start of something big, mauri!

9:16am mr c:

Diddy wah, diddy-o, it's Give the Drummer some. Let's go!

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Diddy wah, Daddy-O!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Kokomo Arnold was born in Lovejoy's Station, Georgia. Just thought you'd want to know.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

LBG is here! LBG is here! (I wonder if he supports LGBT rights.)

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Alan Lomax's notes for the Library of Congress: www.loc.gov...

9:25am Berg:

@mauri mine about to - thanks!

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Berg, have you met Pitts?

9:29am Uncle Michael:

Doug...big party at PNC Park this afternoon!

🥁

9:29am listener james from westwood:

Ah, this one's got the local kids on backup! Always love that!

9:30am Uncle Michael:

Wait...a home game...nevermind!

9:32am mauri:

doug you got it all going on there!

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Forgetting that was bad karma, Uncle Michael. (And I'm sure you know it.)

@mauri
Bring it on!

9:36am Uncle Michael:

The champagne is on ice and so is Harry Carey.

9:37am ndbob:

nice set here Doug! the previous one as well

9:38am Lore:

Doug: Thought you might like to see this Richard Amerson card from the LOC, if you haven't already: http://www.loc.gov/resource/afc9999005.11948.0

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you like, ndbob!

9:38am mauri:

dad I heard old song sang in french on radio now I gotta drink your red wine.

9:40am Dominick:

Janet

9:40am Uncle Michael:

Hawana?

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah, weird. Hawana!

🥁

9:42am listener james from westwood:

Oh, man, a one-cent cigar. That's one up from the stub Roger Miller found in "King of the Road." Barely.

9:43am V Priceless:

hey Doug, gang!

9:44am ndbob:

wow - Boehner is resigning

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
All cig set!

Howdy, Veeo!

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Resigning from the Speakership or alltogether?!?!

🥁

9:46am listener james from westwood:

Altogether. Pretty stunning.

9:46am mauri:

This made me remember Jarre.

9:46am annie:

really, ndbob?? guess i'll have to open twitter..

9:46am ndbob:

both Doug - endof October

9:46am Uncle Michael:

There will be tears...many tears.

9:47am Andrew Waterloo:

this one is making me smile.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe he knows a ruinous shutdown is unstoppable this time.

9:48am ndbob:

I'm really sorry he's leaving - someone I rarely agreed with - but a good leader and decent guy

9:49am Andrew Waterloo:

Have to mention that wonderful shade of orange as well.

🥁

9:49am listener james from westwood:

That "2001" has to be my entry music. Not just for boxing, whenever I enter a room.

🥁

9:50am duke:

Maybe the pope talked Boehner into resigning when they met yesterday.

9:51am Listener Robert:

First they used "Thus Spake Zarathustra" into music for "2001". Then they turned that into a crappy version w a lot of rubato that got used as theme music on John Wingate's "Night Beat". Then they turned THAT into the actually interesting version that I just heard for the 1st time courtesy of your show, thanks.

🥁

9:52am listener james from westwood:

Told him the third secret of Fatima?

9:54am Rich in Washington:

I used to collect Zarathustra renditions. Never heard that one. Gotta get it.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, Listener Robert!

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

I always loathed it when Boehner was mocked for his crying. I thought it was a rare and precious moment of humanity from an otherwise heartless "other side of the aisle."

9:56am AndrewC.:

Sounding like Deodato's version to me. But no one could describe that as crappy could they? Could they???

9:58am marcury:

Guten Morgen!

9:59am Uncle Michael:

"Lounging" is correct.

10:00am annie:

so, what was the story about the tsunami alert for the LISound yesterday morning?

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Rich in Washington
Email me a reminder and I send it to ya!

Greetings, AndrewC and marcury!!

10:02am Javier:

Duglas! Pittsburgh, yes, it could be worse but you probably miss Brooklyn

🥁

10:04am doctorjazz:

Hi all!
I'm amazed Boehner lasted this long...his job is herding deranged tigers.

10:05am Rich in Washington:

YAY!
Danke schoen, Herr Schulkind!

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Javier! Yes I do miss Brooklyn terribly still. No knock on Pittsburgh, which has been perfectly "nice" (if a little underwhelming employment-wise).

Yo, doctorjazz!

🥁

10:06am listener james from westwood:

The sound you hear is Sunday news magazine producers tearing their hair out & crumpling up their guest lists.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

If Javier is who I think he is, he and I broke into radio together in 1980! And when I say broke, I mean it. Our first ever record on the air skipped.

🥁

10:07am doctorjazz:

In Jersey, I'm not that far away, and I miss Brooklyn (and, Brooklyn is a much better Brooklyn in many ways than it was when I was there).

10:07am Jeff g.:

Love driving w the drumma

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
You should try drumming with the driva. (I bet you knew I was gonna say that.)

10:09am ndbob:

Indeed James

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

YES, Javier is who I think he is. Hello old radio buddy!

10:10am Javier:

yes its me (SCHNELL!) hope you are all well. Miss you.

10:11am Rich in Washington:

my very first time on the air, in my nervousness setting up, I yanked the playing cd out of the deck that the DJ before me was using to back announce over. It was this song he'd end every show with - a really nice (and patient) Reggae DJ named Pablo I.

10:11am holland oats:

drummapeoplespopels

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Yo yo you, holland oats!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Javier is not only an old radio buddy, he is a DRUMMA!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Eric "Even Cooler Than the Pope" Dolphy on alto here.

10:14am Javier:

...and my son is a drumma too!

🥁

10:15am βrian:

Pa rum pum pum pum ...

10:16am Mike East:

Ron Carter will be here next week rehearsing

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Javier
You get extra credit for creating more drummers!

How'r things on the Isthmus, βrian?

10:17am Andrew Waterloo:

this album has been reissued as a Dolphy with Carter album

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Mike East
At your house?

🥁

10:19am βrian:

It's a hazy day. 105 quarts of tomatoes canned. Post-harvest languor.

10:20am Mike East:

at my work. Oh, if only my apartment were bigger...

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Andrew Waterloo
You can't blame them. Yes you can.

@βrian
Post-harvest languor. I want to crawl up inside of that.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Mike East
Yeah. Ron Carter is very tall.

🥁

10:22am listener james from westwood:

@βrian: Holy cats, you've earned like 12 naps!

10:22am Mike East:

damn, Brian, that's a lot of tomatoes. Mine didn't even flower...of course as I mention, I'm in a small apartment.

@Doug - yes he is!

10:23am Rich in Washington:

This is lovely...

10:23am Flash Strap:

Hello drummas

🥁

10:23am βrian:

It makes us feel — as Trouble would say — very very Home-on-the-Prairie.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

G'morning, Flash Strap!

10:28am Flash Strap:

not so good morning. i slept on my neck weird and now i can't move my dang head around! i fear we may have to amputate

🥁

10:29am βrian:

That's not good. Only your cat should sleep on your neck.

🥁

10:31am doctorjazz:

Loved that jazz set!

10:33am Jeff g.:

Team TEEN.

🥁

10:35am listener james from westwood:

Bergenfield! A mere hop, skip, and a jump from here!
@Flash: Argh, this is never good. Hopefully a short-term hitch!

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Good gall bladder surgery music, eh doctorjazz?!

10:39am marcury:

I saw U. Srinivas' brother U Rajesh recently. Totally BADASS, some of the best live music I've heard in years!

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Nice, marcury! If you say it was badass, it must have been baaaaadass!

10:42am George from Bristol UK:

I always enjoy U Srinivas and his Electric Mandolin, morning noon and night from 1991 (when he was 21) or earlier to the present day.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, nice to see you George from Bristol UK!

10:44am Hugo:

This is great! Carnatic ragas played on mandolin. There is another guy who does carnatic ragas on electric guitar. The name escapes me momentarily, but give me a little time and I'll find out.

10:45am annie:

i love that the vinyl spinning to the left is always in timing with the music playing..

🥁

10:45am Brian in UK:

Prologue & epilogue, all places in between.
G'day boss man.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Hullo, Brian in UK! Hullo, Everyone in UK!

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Next up: A dude playing bowls of water. Otherwordly stuff!

10:50am Hugo:

This is it:

www.guitarprasanna.com...

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

H U G O !

10:52am Jeff g.:

Just saw Leaf Blower Guy. Is yours missing, Doug?

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
You turned me onto Prasanna in 2012! He does a Hendrix tribute called "Sri Jimi" which I've played on the air.

10:52am Jesse K:

morning Doug and all! Jaltarang!

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
No. Leaf Blower Guy travels the earth via subterranean pneumatic tubage. He can pop up anywhere almost instantly.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of pneumatic tubage, hello Jesse K!

10:57am George from Bristol UK:

Other guitar players : Sunil Ganguly (electric), Gautam Dasgupta (Hawaiian), Debashish Bhattacharya (slide guitar), Brijbushan Kabra and Mohan Bhatt.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Flash Strap. You know what they say about necks. If it ain't stiff it ain't.... oh never mind. Sorry.

@George from Bristol UK
One of those guitarists is cued up next. Guess which one!

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

A little Giorgio Moroder in this number!

11:02am George from Bristol UK:

Debashish Bhattacharya's "Slide Guitar Ragas from Dusk Till Dawn" (2015) is wonderful as are his beautiful Gibson custom built guitars.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Here is Debashish with some of his babies: www.debashishbhattacharya.com...

11:04am northguineahills:

Ah, Moroder explains it,,,,

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

@George. I know some people do not like NPR but this is enjoyable.
www.npr.org...

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Oh my gosh, it's northguineahills! Hiding in plain sight!

11:16am Stanley:

Sweeeeeeeet!

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
I bet Miss Wigglesworth is shimmying suggestively to this languid number.

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Stanley, did you get my reply?

11:18am Stanley:

Its what I pay her for!

11:19am northguineahills:

I've been here since 10, I just slept poorly, so I have nothing to offer the comments board, Brain is on blink.

11:21am Uncle Michael:

I'm a Miss Buxley fan.

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

@Doug could we have sashaying instead of shimmying?

11:21am Stanley:

Hi Brian and just got it together to reply. I kinda put everything on a list for Fridays, now that I'm been given day release.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

No worries, NGH. At this comment board: To each according to needs; from each according to abilities.

11:22am marcury:

Great Show as always Doug. Unfortunately time to go.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

Stanley just off out gigwards. Do not want to miss these beautiful sounds d'Afrik though.

11:23am Stanley:

@NGH - I think I remember correctly you are a fellow insomnia sufferer?

11:25am Stanley:

@Brian - is that the John Murry gig? Have a good one.

11:25am Flash Strap:

I feel ya NGH

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Tata, marcury. Nice to hang with you!

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

Stanley, it is, thanks; got to wrassle the M25 on a Friday evening. Deep joy.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
You may choose not to listen to Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time radio program, which comes up next here on the Drummer stream (playlist page here = wfmu.org... )

But it would not be the wise choice. You see, Uncle Michael is a wonderful practitioner of the radio arts, and experiencing his show will make you happy.

11:30am Stanley:

Brian - ah the freedom of open road, wind on the face, into the sunset (assuming you're heading westwards)

11:30am Uncle Michael:

I'm just going to fake it...like always.

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

Stanley did I tell you we have lost two chickens in the last fortnight. Not the fox, old age I fear.

To quote Toad 'Parp, Parp'.

11:32am northguineahills:

@Stanley: This summer has been brutal, Tuesday night was the first time I slept more then four hours at a time all summer (probably b/c I was drinking), Usually it's 2-3 hours here, a few there. 8pm-midnight and 5-8am have become my most productive hours lately.

🥁

11:33am Brian in UK:

D U C K Y over and out.

11:34am Stanley:

See ya later Brian

🥁

11:35am βrian:

He suffered a stroke of genius. It happens.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

It was ORIGINAL MUSIC not OTHER MUSIC. That was my brain fart. Obviously way too much butter on my brain.

11:38am ndbob:

my kind of set here Doug!

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
Lack of sleep is literally torture. I wish you some good rest. (After this last set.)

11:40am Uncle Michael:

Let's go to my room and listen to records after this. Whatya say?

wfmu.org...

11:40am P-90:

"The Chaperone" is fucking brilliant!

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

You aced the quiz, P-90!

11:44am Stanley:

NGH - Very sorry to hear about that. I too have difficulties, mainly due to the forever playing in my head of the LP "We Won't Leave You Alone" by The Worries on the Stress label. I have recently found, however, something that helps me a lot and if your insomnia is like mine, check out sleepwithmepodcast.com. Wonderful bedtime stories that bore you to sleep. I listen every night now and it nearly always works.

11:46am Jeff Golick:

Now driving from the desk.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

True story:
Almost every night for over 20 years, my wife has used as a sleep aid a recording I made reading the entire screenplay for My Dinner With Andre.

This is not a joke.

11:49am northguineahills:

I tried listening to a boring history podcasts where the narrator couldn't pronounce foreign words correctly, and had trouble speaking, but damnit, i just like boring (and the content was aces), so, that just kept me up.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

I listen to my archives.

11:50am Flash Strap:

That is amaaaaaazing Doug

🥁

11:51am βrian:

Does your wife have an electric blanket?

11:52am mr c:

One of Yodi Records greatest hits..

11:53am Andrew Waterloo:

For me it's going to be sleep at a consistent time and taking melatonin

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Reissued by the Numero Folks, Mr C.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Melatonin has been a revelation to me.

11:55am Flash Strap:

yeah I had mild insomnia for years and when I started taking melatonin i just started sleeping beautifully. I don't even take it anymore, it's like my brain just learned how to sleep. The magic was in me all along, and so forth

11:56am Uncle Michael:

I switched from Ambien and now...oh my...the dreams.....THE DREEEEAMSSS

11:56am Flash Strap:

Uncle, the gif on your playlist page is disconcerting the shit out of me. bold move

11:57am Stanley:

Doug - your wife is onto a good thing. Something just interesting enough to distract you from the endless extraneous thoughts and not interesting enough to keep you awake. I can dig it.

NGH - give that podcast a go. there's a whole community of folks it helps.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Wonderful show today, Doug. Thanks.

See you folks in the next room!

11:57am George from Bristol UK:

CATCH SOME ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's : BBC Radio 3 British Summer Time (GMT+1) Sunday September 27 00:00 - 08:00 Max Richter's 8 hour composition "Sleep" will definitely send listeners to sleep. Will be available as digital download.

11:57am Flash Strap:

reminds me of that weird face thing charles manson does in that one video

11:57am mr c:

moments song..

11:57am Uncle Michael:

I'm bold, Evan.

11:58am mauri:

tanks doug

11:58am northguineahills:

I'm a light sleeper, so living in Brooklyn doesn't really help either. My wife can sleep through me having friends over and playing techno, she doesn't wake for anything. She'll also commonly be up working on work at home until 4am. other times she goes to sleep at 10pm. I can't sleep when she's awake, b/c any noise will wake me.

Thanks Stanley!

Awesome Friday, Doug, thanks!

11:58am Stanley:

Re melatonin - not available over her but just last week someone gave me a few illicit pills to try.

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Thanks for the mighty show, Doug!

11:59am Stanley:

Cool George - will check it out.
Thanks for a great 3 hours, Doug.
Bye friends.

11:59am Jesse K:

Thanks Doug!

12:00pm Andrew Waterloo:

It's been hard learning that I can't 4 hours sleep one night and just recover with a couple extra hours the next night.

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

Melatonin has no effect on me. I haven't tried rohypnol.

12:00pm holland oats:

NO EFFIN WAY DRUMMA! YOGI!!!!!!

🥁

12:00pm duke:

Thanks Doug

12:00pm Flash Strap:

Thanks Doug!

12:00pm Spaniel:

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Yup. Yogi. Love you, Yogi, love you everybody!

Hey Spaniel! Love you, too!

12:01pm George from Bristol UK:
