The great thing about this GIF is the kid provides his own rimshot.

🥁

9:08am doctorjazz:

Mini review/plug-The Microscopic Septet new album, Been Up So Long It Seems Like Down To Me; The Micros Play The Blues is a blast. I heard them play it live and have the CD, think it is great! Great take on the blues, rich sounds and interesting/involving arrangements from one of my favorite bands.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Your presence is present, listener james!

9:10am Goyim in the AM:

🥁

9:20am doctorjazz:

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

I love how June called him Chester!

9:34am melinda:

hi people!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

melinda hey! melinda ho!

🥁

9:40am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and fellow non-politicians.

Did someone say Santa Monica. Well blow me, she done got the sainthood she deserved.

🥁

9:41am Brian in UK:

Got a daughter heading back from San Diego this weekend if that counts for diddly.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Daughters are the very best thing. Good day, Brian in UK!

🥁

9:52am βrian:

Cerulean skies over the isthmus today. Woo hoo.

9:53am Uncle Michael:

gluten Morgan

🥁

9:53am βrian:

"Seitan rules."

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Cerulean gluten, βrian & Uncle Michael!

🥁

9:57am βrian:

Gotta make the glutes feel kneaded.

10:00am Parq:

Good morning all. That gif pretty much sums up my attempts to play music. Not to mention several other aspects of my youth.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
You "play" the radio, dontcha?!

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Pink oboe was the only instrument that I could get a tune out of.

🥁

10:08am listener james from westwood:

"Rainy Night in Portland" covers a lot of the calendar.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

I spent a rainy week in Portland one day.

10:14am Parq:

People ask me if I'm ready for spring. If I say yes, does that increase the chance that it will start?

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

It was blizzarding here 20 minutes ago, Parq. Blizzarding.

Blizzarding.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Blizzarding.

10:19am Jeff Golick:

These are falling from the skies? goo.gl...

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff G:Olick!

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Greatest lyric in the history of lyrics?

"And when he died, all he left us was alone."

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

All Daddy left us was a loan. Sweet man. Dancing on his grave sure improved my footwork.

10:24am Parq:

Cool version of Papa.

10:24am Jeff Golick:

@Brian, you're on fire today, sir.

10:25am Parq:

Blizzarding?

10:25am Little Danny:

Good morning sunshines

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Danny Grande!

🥁

10:27am Brian in UK:

@Jeff. That man Will Rogers is my mentor. Think he is needed right now.

10:27am Listener Gregory:

Or did Daddy leave a mortgage?

10:29am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone

🥁

10:29am Brian in UK:

Doug, this is a belting set. The 70s was reggae time. In fact there was such a lot of good music in that decade.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

My daddy left me a reverse mortgage. Really.

OH WOW, IT'S ndbob! So great to see you, pal!

10:30am ndbob:

great to be here Doug!

🥁

10:31am βrian:

A mortgage is a "dead pledge." Chew on that.

🥁

10:31am Sam Segal:

Bless up, Doug and all!

10:32am Listener Gregory:

Doug, if your daddy leaves you a loan, it's better that it be a reverse loan, for sure.

10:32am Stanley:

Hi Doug 'n' all
Listening (but fiddling around)

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

That could be a 3AM thought.

10:35am Scraps:

hey h'lo h'lo hey
whew

10:35am Stanley:

Hi Brian
Bloody 3am thoughts. Have taken to listening to boring bedtime stories to get me back to sleep when that happens.

🥁

10:36am βrian:

Are there library schools in NH?

10:37am melinda:

I don't think NH has a library school.

🥁

10:38am Brian in UK:

Stanley, we are thinking of selling up and moving so it is fun time clearing out the crap and seeing estate agents (wash my mouth out)
Which reminds me, back to the domestics.

10:39am ndbob:

Heya Melinda!

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Sam "The Mighty Beagle" Segal!

Fiddlin' Stanley!

Scrapstastic!

🥁

10:41am doctorjazz:

Isn't Kappelli missing?

10:42am Stanley:

Brian - terrific.
A house in the country? (Everyone's ideal)

10:42am melinda:

hi Bob!

10:43am Little Danny:

Hola Melinda, here we are

🥁

10:44am βrian:

How's that cultivator running, BUK?

10:44am Little Danny:

God I love the sound of the bass clarinet in jazz so much

10:45am Little Danny:

Great Curson track!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe the greatest ever bass clarinetists Eric Dolphy is on this Ted Curson number... on flute.

🥁

10:48am βrian:

Can it compare to the bass bassoon, though?

10:51am Jeff Golick:

I too love a bass clarinet. Just wanted to get that out there.

🥁

10:51am Brian in UK:

@βrian Not used so far this year, giving up the allotment. Poor clay soil and a ton of stones.

10:52am Little Danny:

Dolphy was truly its most visible champion. Was he the first to record bass clarinet in modern jazz? Methinks yes.

🥁

10:53am Brian in UK:

@Stanley, well, west side of the Peak District, maybe. T'wards Manchesterish.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
According to Jazz Times: jazztimes.com...

🥁

10:54am doctorjazz:

David Murray gets great sounds out of the bass clarinet, methinks.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

If I were to start a publication, the last thing I would ever call it would be Jazz Times. OK, maybe I wouldn't call it Puppy & Kitten Squishing Quarterly, but Jazz Times is a close second.

10:55am Little Danny:

Boom. Thanks Doug! You truly are doing all the work this morning

10:57am Stanley:

Brian - nice countryside, handy for Manchester, that sounds good.

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Doug, the fishing mag 'Total Carp' has it hands down for me. Never knew fishermen had a sense of humour.

🥁

10:58am βrian:

We have only our front yard in which to grow a garden. Heavy clay soil, but well supplemented with composted horse poo.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Duly noted, Jeff Golick. Wouldn't want to leave you off the bass clarinet gravy train.

That's my new publication title: BASS CLARINET GRAVY TRAIN

🥁

10:59am Brian in UK:

Not too fresh is the trick.

11:00am Parq:

Luv Dolphy's bass clarinet stuff.

🥁

11:00am βrian:

I used to live near a bait, tackle, and barber shop.

🥁

11:01am βrian:

There's a special valve on a tuba to release the Tuba Gravy.

🥁

11:01am Brian in UK:

I had a close shave with a mullet once.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

I'd like to open a fishing supply store and call it Bait & Switch.

11:03am Dean:

I *played* bass clarinet (and clarinet and tenor sax) for half a year in junior high school during eighth grade, because the former player had moved on to high school. I was slightly taller than the instrument.

11:08am Jeff Golick:

@docjazz: you know this Murray record: www.discogs.com... ? I would like to, but do not.

🥁

11:11am doctorjazz:

My younger daughter played one in elementary school, was also a height issue, didn't last too long...

@Jeff G-don't have/know that one, looks interesting. If I remember correctly, there was a period that David Murray was releasing albums on DIW at what seemed like a weekly schedule, was impossible to keep up.

11:14am Dean:

Yep, he was releasing DIW records from the late '80s.

11:16am Marie:

Hello Doug and all, Happy Friday! Digging' the grooves...

11:18am glenn:

i'm gonna open a bath and decor place. it's going to be called tub and rug.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Dean! Marie! glenn! Tub! Rug!

11:19am glenn:

and happy international beaver day.

🥁

11:20am doctorjazz:

@Dean, you have the aformentioned Ballads for Bass Clarinets? (as a general rule, I avoid most albums called "ballads"-a whole album of them is usually enough to put me to sleep)

🥁

11:21am doctorjazz:

(getting put to sleep doesn't seem such a bad thing anymore, though)

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

I have that David Murray LP. If you want MP3s, email me.

11:24am Dean:

What's happy? The day or the international beaver?

@doctorjazz: I don't have that ballads record, alas, and I am fond of records that lull and calm me. Hank Jones & Charlie Haden's Steal Away comes to mind.

11:25am Jeff Golick:

I too am pro-ballads.

11:25am Jeff Golick:

I would attend a Pro-Am of balladeering.

11:25am glenn:

i like a good murder ballad.

🥁

11:29am βrian:

I used to think a sea shanty was an oceanside cabin.

11:30am Uncle Michael:

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

www.wfmu.org...

11:31am Dean:

Until I had to play one, I thought a bass clarinet was a red wine that goes well with fish.

11:32am Carmichael:

Good morning Drummers and beavers, both domestic and international.

🥁

11:33am βrian:

@Dean: It probably helped to have baited breath.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you could hang out, Carmichael!

11:34am coelacanth∅:

good morning Doug and Drummers

11:34am Czar Dean:

Did I forget to brush my teeth this a.m.?

🥁

11:34am βrian:

Do they have both small-mouth and large-mouth bass clarinets?

11:36am Dean:

The sole set!

🥁

11:38am JtotheK:

honey (and the bees!) - nice! hi Doug, good morning everyone.

11:38am Marie:

Uncle M, you are definitely in my appointment book ;>)

🥁

11:38am doctorjazz:

@Dean, Steal Away is a great record! Definitely not a universal policy, the Ballad album thing!

@Doug, I'd be interested (maybe set up a trade, though you probably don't need much I have). Do you convert the LP? (I did that with one David Murray LP I sent to Jeff G).

11:39am Marie:

@ Brian: I didn't know bass could play the clarinet!

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, JtotheK!

@Dean
Give the Drummer Some filets the hits!

11:40am ndbob:

great song here - too bad she didn't continue singing like this

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
I have to digitize it. But I'm happy to. If you like that Murray, just email me!

11:40am Jeff Golick:

@βrian: I thought the same re sea shanty, though replace "cabin" with "restaurant."

🥁

11:41am βrian:

Apparently they're adept with a range of instruments — all in the lower registers, oddly.

11:41am Dean:

We're heading into REO Speedwagon territory, folks. Let's rein in the puns.

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Now I've got a hankering for fried clams...

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Yvonne/Donna took quite a different turn...

11:43am Dean:

Howard Johnson's right!

11:44am Jeff Golick:

If only they were SEO Speedwagon, they might've stuck around.

🥁

11:45am βrian:

I always remember that group as REM Speedwagon.

11:45am coelacanth∅:

i think it's reasonable, if you heard the phrase "shanty town" first, to think a sea shanty is a shack/cabin by the sea. (as i did)

🥁

11:47am βrian:

It is reasonable, for all intensive porpoises.

11:48am Jeff Golick:

This is the best.

11:48am Dean:

That's "in tents and...".

11:49am glenn:

intensive porpoises, international beavers, understated elephants. it's a zoo.

11:50am Dean:

All rise for Justice Gorsuch. Goddammit.

11:50am Jeff Golick:

More soul songs about tv programs, please.

11:51am Scraps:

Don Byron is a good bass clarinetist recently

🥁

11:51am βrian:

Phoque that!

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Obscenity is not permitted here.

11:52am Dean:

The ink in the online NYT hasn't even dried on the G****ch story. E.g., this line: "The final tally was XX-XX in favor of confirmation."

[Fixed the obscenity.]

11:54am Dean:

Or is the NYT reporting that only female Senators confirmed him?

11:56am Mr C:

Vernon Garrett

11:56am Parq:

Dean. I take small comfort in knowing that the Dems made the GOP go nuke. I honestly expected them to cave and give up the 8 votes needed in exchange for "saving the Senate".

11:57am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Hinky Dinky next! wfmu.org...

11:57am Marie:

Brian is on a roll! (or is that a bun?)

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:

Thank you, Doug.

11:58am Dean:

Likewise, @Parq.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the morning music, Sir Doug.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, everyone!

🥁

11:59am doctorjazz:

Great show as usual Doug! Have a good weekend.

🥁

11:59am βrian:

What's worse is they actually went nucular.

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Doug!

11:59am Dean:

Knuckular

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

Wow, balmy weather in Topeka!
