John Coltrane Draws a Picture Illustrating the Mathematics of Music www.openculture.com...

8:06am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Oh yeah. So amazing.

8:28am annie:

pardon my fading brain ..is that ann miller dancing?

8:31am Doug Schulkind:

It's not you, Annie, the image is fuzzy. And yes, that's Ann Miller!

🥁

8:37am listener james from westwood:

Early hellos, Doug and all!

8:38am Doug Schulkind:

Or, as Dan Quayle would say, helloes! G'day, LJFW!

8:46am annie:

when i was a teen, i would go to the musicals in cooperstown, they were fun.. one of the places that offered entertainment was a small cafe which hosted a performer named ann miller, i never knew if they were one and the same.

8:49am Doug Schulkind:

I suggest NOT Googling it, annie. Let the mystery be!

8:52am annie:

right!!???? i dig that...

🥁

8:55am doctorjazz:

Well, Google was good for finding that Iris Dement tune (which I love...)
www.youtube.com...
Hi all!
Excited, seeing Dave Douglas in Philly tonight! (interesting that it is often easier to drive 1.5 hours to Philly than to drag to Manhattan...)

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
I was thinking of Iris when I used that phrase!. Hey, my wife and child are in Philly right now. Doing college visits.

8:59am glenn:

good freakin' friday.

🥁

9:00am doctorjazz:

Driving out after work. I like Philly, nice, manageable town, would be nice for college, I'd think. Younger daughter is at TCNJ (The College Of New Jersey), which isn't far from Philly (Philly teams are bigger there than the NY teams, making her a lonely Jets fan).

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, glenn!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

We Jets fans are all lonely, doc.

9:06am Mr C:

The Mother of all Radio Shows: Give the Drummer Some. It's got to be a mother for me! Give me some popcorn, I don't want no trash!

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Are you saying this show is da bomb, Mr C?

🥁

9:08am doctorjazz:

20's Big Band, much fun! Going to do my Charleston!

9:08am melinda:

buenos morgen

9:09am annie:

hi melinda!!!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Delighted to read you, melinda!

9:10am thedunkel:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer!

9:10am Uncle Michael:

Good morning.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Hi and howdy, thedunkel and theUncle!

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and mind bending music mavens.

Seeing String Beans made me think of David Akeman.

🥁

9:24am Brian in UK:

You can see where the fashion started.
www.youtube.com...

9:25am still b/p:

Good morning. Intend to do taxes to accompaniment of Drummer shows today. But...I assumed the deadline was 17th, after the weekend, but a DC holiday means it's actually the 18th! Oh-ohhhh, danger of one or two more desultory deferral days. When it comes to crastination, I'm at the pro level.

9:28am Uncle Michael:

I've got tickets for Cubs/Pirates in July.

9:29am glenn:

speak not to me of the milwaukee brewers, those godless fuckers.

9:30am melinda:

hey annie!

9:30am melinda:

Lydia Mendoza has a postage stamp now!

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Glad to see you, Brian in UK! And you too, still b/p!

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Cubs/Pirates is now!

9:38am andujar:

Listening! Thanks for the music!

9:38am melinda:

There was a live mariachi band at my friends' wedding some years back. It was very exciting, really lifts the mood.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Brother Andujar! Always honored by your presence.

🥁

9:44am doctorjazz:

@Doug, don't know what colleges you are considering, but I'd recommend checking out TCNJ. We really like the school, administration is quite helpful, and it has some excellent programs (Education and Biology, to name 2 I know of). And it is reasonable (by today's college insane standards...remember when CUNY was free, but never mind), even for out of state students (I know a New York family with kids there). The only problem is that it is isolated, nothing much around (that could also be viewed as a positive, less distractions). Just Sayin'...

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@melinda
Live mariachi is much more mood-lifting than...

🥁

9:46am Brian in UK:

I hear that Pink Floyd are playing Nogales, you can guess which album will be featured.

9:47am melinda:

haha. I suppose no one would really bother with canned mariachi music, either, but you never know.

9:48am still b/p:

Talked to about-to-graduate neighbor the other day who said she's considering two schools in Canada. It seemed to be not so much about a Canada jones as about apprehension regarding the state of things here in the states.

🥁

9:49am Brian in UK:

My wife's cousins' daughter played in a band called The Mariachis. No idea why they were so called. More an English Country band.

9:51am Uncle Michael:

Cubs/Pirates play 19 games this season. Three of them are in July, in Chicago.

9:52am glenn:

for some reason, i picture mrs drummer and drummer junior's college hunting trip as being like tony soprano and daughter's college hunting trip.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Only with more guns.

9:56am glenn:

canada is going to do very well out of the trump administration, thank you very much.

10:00am Frank from VT:

My senior daughter wants to go to a small liberal arts college. The ones here in New England wanted $50k to $60k, while St. Thomas in New Brunswick wanted only $14k (US$). She's going to Canada!

10:02am melinda:

I like Anne Briggs.

10:03am glenn:

i do too.

10:03am Little Danny:

Ahh, Anne Briggs. One of my all-time favorite tracks by her

10:03am Little Danny:

G'mornin all

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Frank in VT
My daughter could go to the Univ. of Pittsburgh FOR FREE. But that looks unlikely to happen.

Music to millions: Little Danny!

10:05am Mayuko:

Good morning Doug and all!!

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Yay, it's Mayuko! Hello comrade!

10:07am still b/p:

Hey, I was rechecking the date for the opera about Josh Gibson and I see Pittsburgh Opera's got a connnnntest for show ticket-holders to win Pirates/Yankees tickets, for seats in a team owner's suite. WQED has got a preview next Saturday with actor & director interviews if you're interested, Doug.

10:07am glenn:

a concise explanation of things trump. ipolitics.ca...

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Somehow I have to get through three finals and two papers in the next 10 days. Can't think of anything else at the moment. Except doing radio, of course.

10:10am burke:

Outrageously pleasant singing voice.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

You're hearing what I'm hearing, burke.

10:13am still b/p:

Good luck, hope the work and the finish goes really well. Can we...meaning "I"...be nosey on what classes and topics?

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I am nearing the end of my first year in the MSW program at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work.

10:17am annie:

wow, love that steeleye span is on now, i'm just chatting with someone about the child ballads, the twa corbies, to be precise.

10:17am still b/p:

I knew you'd been at it, but forgot the field. The year was good? ...heavy I'm sure, but good?

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Veteran listeners of GTDS know well of my enduring crush on Maddy Prior.

🥁

10:21am Brian in UK:

Was playing Linda Thompsons' 2013 'Wont Be Long Now' in the car today. Great record. Voice still there. She uses the term lily-white too just like Maddy. Maddy. Ah Maddy.

10:21am glenn:

well, yeah. maddy's a babe.

🥁

10:22am βrian:

@BUK: How did that varnishing go?

10:22am glenn:

today in cats. british.museumblog.org...

🥁

10:23am Brian in UK:

Nicely thank you friend. Just dismantled a shed with view to relocation. We know how to have fun over here!

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

@βrian thanks for the reminder, I need to put on another coat (of varnish)

10:25am annie:

i saw SeSpan way back in 71... her performance was "electric"!!

10:26am still b/p:

Steeleye Span always reminds of the very particular couple of years when they got FM play in mid-70s.

🥁

10:26am βrian:

I have a door varnishing project coming up. Per the boatbuilder's specs, it will get 3 coats of 2-part epoxy resin, then 7 coats of Epifanes spar varnish. Oh boy.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

I was all over that FM play, still b/p. All over it like white on rice.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

Hi βri!

🥁

10:28am Brian in UK:

Fish curry tonight includes squid, prawns, monkfish, haddock & bream. Better get my arse in gear.
Is there anything better than a full spread of a fishmongers stall. Then watching the knife skills at work.

10:28am Uncle Michael:

Sudden Trader Home fan here.

10:28am Uncle Michael:

Horne*

🥁

10:28am βrian:

Salutations.

That's "brown on rice" where I come from.

10:29am annie:

this set is perfect serendipity..

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Yeah, my vegetarian daughter would not be pleased with me.

🥁

10:29am βrian:

"J'ai faim !"

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

It's about to get perfecter.

10:29am coelacanth∅:

what Uncle Michael said.
- good morning Doug and Drummers

10:29am glenn:

i would think 7 coats of varnish is completely unnecessary after 3 coats of epoxy, to be honest.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Becky Stark's voice (here with Lavender Diamond) is a perfect thing in nature.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Cheery greetings, coelacanth∅!

🥁

10:31am listener james from westwood:

Excellent pick to (possibly) cap this lovely set!

🥁

10:31am doctorjazz:

Beautiful set! Wish I could just sit and listen, but enjoying it in bits.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

I love it when the sequence of songs I was putting together at 2am sounds just as good at 10am. I LOVE that.

🥁

10:33am βrian:

Short-grain rice is the main staple in our household. I can cook it in my sleep.

Apparently, the epoxy offers little sealing against water absorption but serves to bind varnish to wood. I've followed the process once before, and it has held up.

10:34am still b/p:

I think 7 coats varnish and 3 of epoxy is what you use to preserve a human, if you're, like, crazy....in a Hammer Films kind of way.

10:36am melinda:

I love Dust on the Nettles.

10:36am glenn:

i've never seen wicker man either, to my knowledge. isn't morris dancing involved?

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

Doug, never seen Wicker Man either. Do not lose sleep worrying. Bit like Withnail & I. What is the deal?

🥁

10:38am Brian in UK:

@glenn I once made this terrible joke as a best man.
We were to have morris dancing tonight but unfortunately he could not come.

10:39am glenn:

oh, withnail and is definitely a film to see. no ifs, ands or buts.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Music from Films I've never seen. Coming to a radio show near you...l

🥁

10:42am Brian in UK:

Now if Loretta Young had made an appearance, it might have changed my perception.

🥁

10:43am doctorjazz:

Konitz has that martini dry tone, beautiful.
Once subbed for my jazz history teacher in college, played in the class (Chuck Israels was the professor. Man, I didn't appreciate what I had at the time).

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

The legendary Chuck Israels! My jazz history prof. at Oberlin was the legendary Wendell Logan.

10:46am Dean:

That is a remarkable anecdote, @doctorjazz.

When a substitute teaches in a jazz history or performance class, do the students even bother to switch name tags the way we did in elementary school? Does it even matter?

🥁

10:49am doctorjazz:

Konitz didn't seem interested in the teaching stuff, as I remember he was just interested in playing Bitches Brew and demonstrating stuff on his horn (he did Chuch Israels a favor, he had a tour of some sort). He mostly stood in front of a lecture hall and blew.

10:49am Parq:

Hi, all. Ann Miller in Kiss Me Kate, right? Jeez, she was hot.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Cool spoken intro to the next song by Rahsaan Roland Kirk next.

10:54am andujar:

FYI...today is Gene Ammons' birthday

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

I dig Jug.

10:55am Carmichael:

Heya Doug, dancing Ann, and drummers. @Brian: I can no longer call you Arthur "2 Sheds" Jackson?

10:55am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Carmichae and ndbob!

10:57am annie:

withnail all queued up for later tonight. i love this tune so much. best ever rendition i've seen in movies is the performance in "The Singing Detective" with michael gambon, one of my faves..

10:57am annie:

carm AND ndbob!! woot!

10:57am glenn:

which gene simmons?

10:58am Listener Gregory:

What that a griffus he played on the bridge? Or maybe a blunderbuss?

10:59am Carmichael:

Hi Annie!

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

I would've loved to hear Rahsaan play Elaine Stritch.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Big ups to you, Listener Gregory. The original LG.

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

@Carmichael. Can I make this quite clear that I do not own a shed. This is my wife's shed. I am just the handy man, I live in the same house, that's handy.

11:03am ndbob:

hi Annie!!

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK, without a shed of evidence.

11:04am ndbob:

Hi carmichael et al

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

Doug, lots of creepy crafties, wood lice and snails abound.

Hello ndbob, are you in the pink, old bean?

11:11am ndbob:

Heya brian - somewhere in the ultraviolet spectrum today:)

🥁

11:12am Brian in UK:

Doug, your bed music reminds me of the Rustem Pasha Mosque, the tiles are just astounding.
www.atasteoftravelblog.com...

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

If I click the link, Brian, does it make sound?

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

I think not.

11:15am glenn:

no sound, but the tiles are pretty spectacular.

11:15am andujar:

Music from my favorite continent! (After Antarctica, that is)

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Gorgeous stuff. Thanks Brian (and glenn)!

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

I'm right there with you, andujar.

11:17am Listener Gregory:

This could be my theme song. "Me I no want trouble-o."

🥁

11:17am Brian in UK:

Rock 'n Roll is natural to Penguins.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

For those who love scratchy records, I apologize for this not being scratchier.

11:19am Mike East:

Happy Great Friday, all!

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

The Unwicked Mike of the East!

11:21am still b/p:

Ohh, those tiles, and such places where design and skill is in such exhilarating evidence, spark a reaction that leans to the emotional.

11:21am Alex In Illinois:

THis has been one busy morning for what is supposed to be a holiday for me, so I have not had a chance to post any comments, but I have been listening since the start.

11:21am Listener Gregory:

trouble-o is even worse than trouble

11:22am Jeff Golick:

It is indeed a goo Friday.

(Typo, but going with it.)

11:23am Alex In Illinois:

I work in the Mutual Fund / Asset Management industry, and the "Markets" are closed today, so where I work the US offices are closed.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

@still b/p then you wander down to the Galata Bridge and eat a mackerel sandwich and watch the ferryboats come and go.

Hello Jeff. Goo for yoo.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff and Alex! Alex and Jeff!

11:26am Listener Gregory:

I have to cut out early, but I'm going to a talk by someone from the U of Pittsburgh, so can you give me an official excuse, Doug?

🥁

11:27am βrian:

Now I'm hungry for Saba.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Here is my signature, Gregory:

Douglas R. Schulkind

Just print out this playlist and bring it with you.

11:29am burke:

Middle name is Roger? Randolph? Rudolph?

🥁

11:30am βrian:

Rupert?

🥁

11:30am doctorjazz:

This Choubi ROCKS!

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

It's Rogerrandolphrudolph, actually!

11:30am still b/p:

I might never see the Rüstem Pasha Mosque. That's a shame. Might never go to that bridge and watch those boats, the kind of thing I love to do. I probably will never eat a mackerel sandwich, and my spirit is fully at peace with THAT.

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Off to the kitchen will attempt to listen on a tablet. Great show as ever, Reg.

11:32am glenn:

now you're talking [s][mack][erel].

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

There is a huge fish emporium here in Pittsburgh called Wholley's. (Some may remember that I saw a concert performed by the great Fredric Rzweski at Wholley's Fish Market a few years back.)

Anyway, still b/p, if you got a mackerel sandwich at Wholley's, the sandwich would be called the... !

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

But you're probably never having one, so never mind.

11:34am coelacanth∅:

do they deliver?

11:35am coelacanth∅:

- upstate-ish...not that far.

🥁

11:36am βrian:

Interesting article comparing Rob Ford and the Orange Fuhrer:

www.newyorker.com...

11:38am still b/p:

My dad would toss in a "Holy mackerel, Andy," pretty regularly -- uh, yeah, with with the Amos 'N Andy voice.

11:38am glenn:

i've been telling anybody who'll listen, the donald and jubilation t. crackpipe are the same guy, except trump has a bigger audience of fools to dupe.

🥁

11:41am βrian:

Ok, it's settled. Saba for lunch.

11:42am coelacanth∅:

still bp, i've said that a few times, though i've never seen amos & andy. - don't even know where i would've picked it up from. (not my parents)

11:42am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Better than a fish sandwich on Friday, it's HINKY DINKY TIME with Uncle Michael (with tartar sauce and a pickle)!!!

Tune in and bite down on some deep-fried sounds of wonder. Coming up next on the Drummer Stream.

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:43am Uncle Michael:

I've been preparing your taxes in the next room:

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:44am βrian:

Though if I could find some HoJo's fried clams, I'd go for those.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha, I beat you, Uncle Michael. Hahaha!

11:47am Uncle Michael:

Ha. Ha.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
I have every birthday part from age 4 to age 14 at HoJo's. For the fried clams.

11:48am still b/p:

Siblings were mad for the HoJo fried clams. I'd have...french fries.

11:48am annie:

it's been a joy to listen today doug.. thank you!!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

You know the saying, beaten like a rented mule...

Can you rent a mule?

11:49am ndbob:

indeed Annie - excellent show Doug!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Joy to the whirled, annie!

11:50am Wendy del Formaggio:

Who knew there was an answer song to "Freddie's Dead"? Not me! I just tuned in, so if you explained it during a mic break, I missed it.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

I just left the explaining to YOU, Wendy! And happy birthday!

11:52am still b/p:

Holy mackerel, Chicago Pete...I'm diggin' this a lot for some reason.

11:54am andujar:

Love the soul set! That Chicago Pete tune is really cool

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Chicago Pete, produced by Detroit's Dave Hamilton. Go figure.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

This is the Cleveland Robinson, not to be confused with the Toledo Robinson.

11:57am Little Danny:

Great show Pittsburgh Doug!

11:57am Wendy del Formaggio:

Thanks, Doug! It is good to be a little older!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug...see you all in the next room.

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:
