7:49am Uncle Michael:

8:39am Cap'n Doug:

Beats me, Uncle M!

🥁

8:54am duke:

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

I missed you, too, duke!

🥁

8:58am listener james from westwood:

Welcome welcome back, Doug!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

WWLJFWD?! (What would Listener James from Westwood Do)

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone out there NOT hearing the stream? WFMU is experiencing some connectivity problems this morning.

🥁

9:03am doctorjazz:

Time for some major league drumming! Welcome back, Doug!
(stream coming through fine on my pop up/computer)

🥁

9:04am duke:

Coming through loud and clear on 128k mp3 stream

9:06am Uncle Michael:

Flibberty Jib.

9:08am Little Danny:

9:08am Gary:

9:08am Alex In Illinois:

... on the Bibbity Bop!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hey doc! Howdy Little D! THANK YOU, Gary! Greetings Alex!

9:09am Uncle Michael:

How many lobstahs made the ultimate sacrifice in service of the Schulkind family constitutional?

9:11am Maggie B.:

So happy to have you back! Hope your time downeast was restorative.

9:11am Little Danny:

UM must be commended for exemplary programming and seemingly unlimited endurance. What's next? 12 hour blocks?

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

At least 16 lobstahs, by my count.

9:12am Uncle Michael:

Hush your mouth, Danny.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Mother Maggie! Our downeast sojourn was fabulously restful.

9:13am Maggie B.:

so, not so restorative to the lobsters

9:13am Little Danny:

@UM Seriously I'm like heaving and drenched in sweat after a pathetic two hours

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
I dove into the vacation like the lobsters went into the pot: Head first.

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
If you're not drenched in sweat and heaving, you're not doing it right.

9:17am melinda:

Mornin

9:17am Uncle Michael:

I'm not doing it right. Doing my show is my happy place.

We all sweat when technology mocks us, Danny.

9:18am Uncle Michael:

My biscuit roller done gone.

9:18am fred:

Good morning Doug and all. That Rich Amerson track is really nice

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, melinda and fred!

9:19am mauri:

in with finn crowd! days blessings to you all

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Mauri: A first place Finnish!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the reference card John Lomax created for this performance in the Library of Congress files: www.loc.gov...

9:30am Ike:

That card makes it look like "Willie George Albertine King" is a single name. But I haven't had a cup of tea yet, so I'm not sure.

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Two separate people. Ms. King was speaking/singing for about 98% of that selection, but still she is listed second behind Mr. George. Hello, Ike!

9:39am David D:

Great to hear you again, Doug!

9:43am melinda:

Nice to have you back, Doug!

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, David D! So great to be back, melinda!

9:45am fred:

@Ike: I guess whoever typed "King, Willie George Albertine (singer)" in the contributors section hadn't had their cup of tea either

9:49am melinda:

This morning I had an interesting dream involving a tiny baby elephant that I was supposed to be looking after, but it kept running loose. It was sort of fuzzy.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@melinda
Henry Mancini scored the soundtrack to your dream, I believe.

9:50am melinda:

haha

9:53am Jesse Kaminsky:

Morning Doug and welcome back to the big chair!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Noisy Jesse!

🥁

10:05am Artie:

Hello, Drummers. Welcome back, Doug!

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

Glad to be back, Artie!

10:13am Mr C:

An Atttila Zoller and Doug Schulkind sighting! What a day! a glorious day..

🥁

10:13am listener james from westwood:

melinda, the part of Roxane Gay's Twitter bio I love most is "I want a tiny baby elephant," so you're in good pachyderm-imagining company.

10:14am Paul, Chicago:

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

This show runs the gamut, from Attila to Zoller, Mr C!

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

You're livin' Lg, Paul in Chicago!

🥁

10:15am doctorjazz:

Cool track, this Zoller/Koller/Solal.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

A guitar/tenor sax/piano trio. Very cool indeed.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

The 3 Souls are covering Randy Newman here!

10:17am Mr C:

I need a vacation from your vacation.

🥁

10:17am βrian:

Oh, my it's Friday. Moving slowly. Drinking a sturdy dark roast.

🥁

10:19am βrian:

And here Doug has already neatly baled three sets before the heat of the morning has come on.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

I would never bail on you, βrian.

10:20am Stanley:

Hey Doug. Welcome back.
I've the full piece from Triplettes de Belleville from which the gif is taken up on my page, if anyone is interested. Just click on the cat.

🥁

10:20am βrian:

And I shall never twine about you!

10:20am melinda:

@James I'll have to look that up.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Stanley! Give my love to the triplettes!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Something to look forward to in the next selection:

Grachan Moncur III... SINGING!

10:27am Stanley:

Singing?

🥁

10:28am doctorjazz:

Speaking of cool! Everything on hold for the next few...

🥁

10:31am doctorjazz:

Looked for this album, here it is
www.artistdirect.com...

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

I've never heard Moncur's voice before (unless I'm forgetting). I find this thrilling!

🥁

10:33am doctorjazz:

(office blocks won't allow me to put it into my cart, or I'd have ordered it already. will get to it later...)

🥁

10:34am βrian:

The third eye of Grachan Moncur, see?

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, leaf-blower is BACK, baby!

10:36am Uncle Michael:

Turning over an old leaf?

🥁

10:36am listener james from westwood:

The irony was, he too was in Maine these past 3 weeks.

🥁

10:39am βrian:

Cartoon sax. Love it.

10:39am coelacanth∅:

'morning Doug and Drummers and other Lovers

10:40am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

10:41am melinda:

hello bob and coel

🥁

10:42am βrian:

Having heard Grachan's voice, I'm reasonably certain he didn't grow up in Minnesota.

10:42am Uncle Michael:

Cartoon manga...tentacle sax.

🥁

10:43am βrian:

Which cartoon figure plays the best sax? I'm thinking Squiddly Diddly.

10:44am ndbob:

Heya Melinda!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, coelacanth∅! Hi there, ndb∅b!

10:45am Stanley:

Too right, βrian. He's a multi-instrumentalist, too.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James in Westwood
I could have used leaf-blower guy in Maine. Blowing away all them ticks.

🥁

10:47am βrian:

Music, wife, kitty, view of the backyard garden, blueberries in the fridge. Work can sometimes be ok.

10:48am Mr C:

'rocking and boss jocking.."

10:48am Mark Williams:

heya Doug. You know I have to chime in now...

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

For a jock, I am quite strapping, Mr C.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Mark Williams! I know how to pull you out from the shadows! Please chime in with any deep knowledge.

10:52am Mark Williams:

hah. Well, Drumbago was an old-time drummer who died in 1969. He was a generation older than all the musicians going at this time, and his heyday was during the ska era, especially on Treasure Isle & Prince Buster productions. His style was a lot different than the Skatalites' Lloyd Knibbs, which shows you there were variations in sound during even those early recordings. There were a couple of Drumbago tribute tunes, but you played the best one, hands down. Clancy Eccles production. Same musicians that would've recorded all the great Maytals and Dekker tunes.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Mark Williams delivers the goods!

10:55am Mark Williams:

I loved that Willie George/Albertine King bit, btw.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Yes. Not every day that you hear a recording of a person born a slave.

10:58am Mark Williams:

Last two tracks (I Roy, Trinity) are good examples of Studio One rhythms being revitalized 5-10 years after the fact and made into entirely new songs. There are sooooo many examples of this.

11:00am Dean:

Abyssinians are playing my the joint behind our house tomorrow night.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Need to hear you on the radio, MW. Just sayin'.

11:03am Dean:

@Doug: Interested in an article about "Identifying Connections between Elder Law and Gerontology: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice"?

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Only if it's assigned, Dean. I will do my pleasure reading after next April.

🥁

11:06am doctorjazz:

Pop up seems to have pooped out on me, no sound, damn!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

The pop-up has been wonky this morning, doc. Try re-starting? I believe the tech gurus at WFMU are working behind the scenes. Keep trying it.

11:08am Jeff Golick:

...and all is right in the world.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Big bear hug, Jeff Golick.

🥁

11:10am βrian:

Will you be printing new cards, Doug?

Dough Schulkind, MSW;FMU;DJ

🥁

11:12am doctorjazz:

pop up was behaving well on my end until a few minutes ago, restarting not helping.
Try my phone app in a few...

🥁

11:15am doctorjazz:

Pop up is back!

11:15am Dean:

@ljfw: If you're still here, just this a.m. I read another "proved"-instead-of-"proven," this one from Werner Heisenberg in 1955, in an English language contribution to a volume of tributes to Niels Bohr. He wrote, "a certain one among the various possibilities has proved to be the real one." I'm thinking British English, e.g., Brookner's, takes "proved." Heisenberg adopted British for the piece.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
MSWFMUDJ. Mabye I just will!

11:23am JtotheK:

Hi Doug, hi everyone.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

WWDJ do?

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

HeytotheJtotheK!

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

I once titled a playlist: What Would MC 900 Foot Jesus Do?

11:26am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you think so, ndbob!

11:28am Uncle Michael:

WWMC900FTJD?

11:29am Dean:

Local pizza pub has a sticker on a 'fridge, WWJBJD. Jon Bon Jovi.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

Top of the hour. Next room. A radio program...and me.

Invited; you.

www.wfmu.org...

11:30am Uncle Michael:

@Dean: Ride a steel horse?

11:32am Dean:

Knowing how to spell his name, @UM, exhausts my supply of JBJ knowledge. Well, I also know that his guitarist married that TV star.

🥁

11:35am βrian:

Those Portuguese speakers do get their Ʒ on.

11:37am JtotheK:

Great Martha & Vandellas track!

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

So gorgeous, right βrian?!
So gorgeous, right, JtotheK?!

11:40am Mr C:

So gorgeous!

11:40am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Speaking of gorgeous, Uncle Michael is up next here on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...

11:41am Listener Gregory:

I think I'm catchin' on too. Only, it took me until two and a half hours into the show.

11:42am Mr C:

Early Smokey Robinson..

🥁

11:42am doctorjazz:

Don't recognize this version of You Beat Me To The Punch-the original? cover?
It's good!

11:42am Dean:

No need to race! There's plenty of punch for everybody.

11:43am JtotheK:

Is this Alpha Zoe on Hit Records?

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Co-written by Smokey and Ron White.

11:44am JtotheK:

the Gene Chandler 45 "You Threw A Lucky Punch" - also a good tune!

🥁

11:44am Artie:

I've actually met and interviewed the MC 900 Foot Jesus. Nice guy. Not as tall as you'd think.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Artie is telling tall tales.

🥁

11:45am doctorjazz:

Thanks for the great show, Doug, welcome back again!

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Am I late or did you start early?

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Thank you thank you!

@Mr C
So what do you know about Eldridge Devlin?

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Just hit the rewind button, Brian in UK. Then adjust the antennae to minimize the static.

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Static, I have been driving for three hours, that is the last thing what I am.

11:50am Mr C:

Not a thing Doug..

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone out there love apples? This selection is for you.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Eldridge Devlin sounded a smidge West Indian. The track is on a comp of "lost UK soul," so it's possible.

11:52am fred:

Depends on the kind. I like the fruit, but despise the corporation

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Apple heard that fred. They will punish you accordingly.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

All of fred's Beatles albums are now blank.

11:53am Dean:

I dunno. Badfinger wasn't so bad.

🥁

11:53am βrian:

An old sweetie used to wax enthusiastic about apples. Or "opples," as she pronounced it.

11:53am Listener Gregory:

Is "Love Apple" an imperative sentence or a noun phrase?

11:54am Uncle Michael:

opples and aranges to me.

11:54am Dean:

...or a Dadaist pastiche?

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

Love apples are tomatoes?

11:54am fred:

They're already making me miserable at work, and I will never buy their stuff for myself. So what can they do?

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

In this case, "love apple" is referring to tomatoes. No, really!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK wins the prize!

🥁

11:55am βrian:

Well, there's linux.

11:56am Listener Gregory:

Aren't "love apples" a euphemism for heavy jowls that hang off your cheeks? You know, in an affectionate way!

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

@βrian was he in Charley Brown?

11:56am fred:

@UM: You're right! All of my zero Beatles albums are destroyed! But my Yoko ones are fine

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Great show, Doug. (I am tense for the future)

11:58am fred:

Thanks Doug, it was nice to hear your show again. Can you believe I have never tried lobster?

11:58am Sean B.:

@DougSchulkind Thank you for the eclectic and amazing show today!. Priceless stuff!.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

I'll play some lobster next week, fred!

Thanks, Brian in UK. Pleasing you pleases me.

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

Hang the lobster.

🥁

11:59am βrian:

What would Onan do?

11:59am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

Spill the beans?

🥁

12:00pm duke:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Huge thanks, Doug, and glad to have you home!

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

That's how we get magic beanstalks.

12:00pm Ramblin' Ray:

Glad to have you back Doug and thanks for the good sounds!

12:00pm ndbob:

Alpha Zoe was one the the best performers on Hit - a prominent budget label

12:00pm Dean:

Heh, never occurred to me that the earliest prohibitions against leaks were Biblical.

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Ramblin' Ray! Thanks, everyhuman!
