9:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Dave B
If I may quote an old friend, Let It Bleed.

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

I've got a badly leaking roof and a sewage line about to befoul the basement. How are you guys?!?!

9:08am Phillippe Bastille:

Good morning everyone

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Getting ready for your big day, Mr. Bastille?

9:09am Phillippe Bastille:

I am! I have cleared room on the dining room table for all of my Bastille Day presents!

9:12am Listener Gregory:

Good morning, fellow givers. Didn't know I was going to church this morning, but when the spirit hits you...

🥁

9:13am doctorjazz:

I feel pretty good as well! Hi Drummers!

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

You must always be prepared to give it up to the Lord, Listener Gregory...

Lord Buckley

Hahaha!

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Blessings and praises to you, doctorjazz!

9:15am annie:

good morning all! heavily involved in creating a new rss feed with a FF extension called Feedbro...bleh

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

annieannieannie!

9:17am Listener Gregory:

Doug, a befouled basement is for the birds. Good luck with that.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Can't get the plumber to call me back, and the roofer can't come for five months.

9:21am Listener Gregory:

Oy!

9:22am ausmanx:

there's a really good roofer nearby here, doug, a sole trader, but i suspect his call-out fee might be a bit high getting to your place

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Hmmm. Maybe I can upload the roof and have him email it back. Thanks, ausmanx!

9:26am ausmanx:

are we to deduce from this that Jesus had a bad foot too?

9:27am Listener Gregory:

I'm getting a new roof for the house I just bought. Signed the contract in early June, projected construction date: some time in October. Fortunately, its condition is not dire. But roofers obviously fill up their schedules in the summer.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

He had a terrible bunion problem. Then he created large Paul to chop them off. Thus the legend of Paul Bunion was born.

9:29am Maggie B.:

Oh Doug, homeowners' nightmares! Been there. At the moment we're refashioning the guest room into a cozy living space for my 94-year-old mom in law. As soon as it's done, she's moving in with us permanently.

9:32am Alex In Illinois:

Whenever I heard the phrase "Good Foot", I think of the James Brown tune with that guitar part going: "Jonk donk dank Jank dink dink dank dank Jonk donk dank Jank dink dink dank dank ..."

🥁

9:33am listener james from westwood:

Steve Dahl is one of a very small number of people for whom I have a Google news alert for their death.

9:33am Marc Francis:

Disco demolition was also totally racist and homophobic.

🥁

9:34am listener james from westwood:

^^^ the very reasons why I've got the alert up.

9:35am Listener Gregory:

@Alex, I have never heard the phrase "good foot" outside of the James Brown song (and now this one).

9:35am mauri:

Helou helou doug and drummahs ! good cooking moosic

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
What a wonderful you and Bill are doing. It's hard, be may be rewarding in ways you might not anticipate.

Greetings, Alex in Illinois and Mark Francis. (And yes, Disco Demolition Night was an abomination.)

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@mauri
We simply NEVER cook moose on this radio programme. Wait, whut?

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
I love how you've capitalized only the Jonks and Janks.

9:43am Phillippe Bastille:

Doug, my bride and I purchased a "charming" 1,000 sq ft (almost falling down) beach cottage outside of Annapolis (the only way we could afford being on the water), supposedly our retirement place. Built in 1955. Plumbing, foundation, electric, roof all needed to be repaired or replaced. Started to do renovations and saw one of the exterior walls was built with 2x2s instead of 2/6s. The pier is kinda nice though.

9:44am Marc Francis:

@ listener james from westwood: ♥ ♥ ♥

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

If God had wanted 2x6's, he would have marched us that way onto the Ark.

9:50am Alex In Illinois:

Now I know where Kirsty MacColl got that chromatic brass walk-up riff from. Sazonando!

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Kirsty has been stealing from Conjunto Chappottín for years.

9:52am Phillippe Bastille:

Good point. Then we would likely still have unicorns. I miss them.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

I miss the unicorns.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Get you minds EXERCISED, friends!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Best groove/worst lyrics. Do we have a winner?

9:59am bigplanetnoise:

goodmorninggoodmorning

10:02am Stanley:

I need a new bed

🥁

10:02am listener james from westwood:

"It's the plumber! I've come to fix the sink!"

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry about that rude departure!!! I've got a sewage line backing up and finally got the plumber to call back.

Phew.

10:05am Gina B:

Morning!!!

10:05am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Summer Drummer somes!

10:06am Webhamster Henry:

Doug: Give the Plumber some!

10:06am Gina B:

Sorry about your troubles, Doug...that sounds messy!

10:06am Webhamster Henry:

At least you aren't in NOLA.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Gina B
If the roof keeps leaking, maybe it will wash away the mess.

10:08am Stanley:

Nice one, Web Henry

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Poor dear NOLA.

10:11am ausmanx:

The occupants of Frank Lloyd Wright's most celebrated houses have been obliged to drag out buckets, bowls and soup cans in many a rainstorm. Or as a colleague of mine once put it: "They don't call it 'falling water' for nothing."

Wright once received a call from an irate client who complained that the roof was leaking all over her dinner guests.

"Tell him to move his chair," he responded.

To the complaint of another waterlogged client, he calmly declared: "If it didn't leak, it wouldn't be a roof."

10:13am Listener Gregory:

I'm trying to assign a genre to this Gerlach piece and failing. I should just stop.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

My father had connections to the family that owned Fallingwater. (I believe they were clients of his law firm.) He once stayed there overnight.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the genre, LG: Songs your mother never sang

10:14am Gina B:

That's pretty cool, Doug.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Despite living about 90 minutes away from Fallingwater for the past nine years, I've still never been.

10:17am Phillippe Bastille:

Visited Falling Water years ago. First impression was it woulda been nice to catch a trout in your living room. Unfortunately, that's where my mind goes...

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Frank LLoyd Wright's architecture is now on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

10:18am chresti before coffee:

Morning

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

@Phillippe Bastille perhaps Richard Brautigan visited there.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, pre-coffee chresti!

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Phillippe Bastille
Once while on vacation on the Maine coast, we saw a whale from our cabin's back porch. So I kinda get what you mean.

10:21am Listener Gregory:

Doug, the genre of songs my never sang is approximately your entire setlists... unless you have snuck in some snippets of La Boheme when I wasn't listening.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

La Boheme is what's gurlging up in my basement right now.

10:25am Gina B:

I love this one!

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah. Shimmering yet gritty.

🥁

10:27am JtotheK:

greetings, Doug. salutations everyone.

10:28am Listener Gregory:

@Doug: A scandal in Bohemia! (your basement)

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheK hey hey!

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
My debasement.

10:30am Sem:

Our theatre here has water in the basement every high tide. When the tidal range is 29 feet, one hears a great deal of gurgling while attending performances. Sometime interesting, in context, other times...in the ear of the beholders, I guess.

10:31am Phillippe Bastille:

@Brian one of my favorite books! I wonder if it was subliminally influential.

10:34am Webhamster Henry:

Songs My Mother Never Sang: The essential disk:
(I have this one)

www.discogs.com...

10:35am Gina B:

It's pronounced NEEhouse! Thanks, Doug!! xoxo

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

NEE-house NEE-house NEE-house NEE-house. I will mark it in my mind (as Laura Cantrell loves to say!) Thanks, Gina!

10:38am ausmanx:

"‘Of all the architects of the Prairie School who were practising at the turn of the century, only three stayed loyal to their ideals and fought to their dying days for their personal visions of modern architecture. Two of them - Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright - have been immortalised among the legion of great architects. It is time to accord Walter Burley Griffin a place near them.’ - Paul Kruty. Griffin came to Australia, of course. End of story. Where architects come to die. Just ask Jorn Utzon.

10:39am Webhamster Henry:

Look, another Songs My Mother Never Sang:
Homer & Jethro!

10:40am fleep:

(surfacing) Big bowl o'blueberries greetings

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Rest in peace, Philip Freelon. Another wonderful architect.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Life ain't a bowl cherries, fleep

10:41am Uncle Michael:

Good morning.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Hello dahling. Do I hear you'll be Dahling?

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Stanley's bro Tommy on trumpet here.

10:43am Uncle Michael:

Dahl "M" for murdah.

10:44am Raissa:

LOve this!

10:45am Listener Gregory:

I am missing my tea mug, which I leave in the same place every day. "I am missing my tea mug" could have been the name of this song. It would have added to the poignancy.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Sonny Clark on piano.

10:47am Marie:

Faboo, Doug! Soaring, just what I needed. LOVE the pdf (though I kind of think dogs should never have to wear shirts inside!)

10:47am Listener Gregory:

Sonny Clark, famous tea lover.

10:48am Marie:

or gloves, ever.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Love that you love it, Raissa! Howdy, Marie!

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

No dogs were harmed (physically) in the making of this broadcast.

Emotionally scarred, entirely possible.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Killer fwoodwind trio of Sonny Simmons, Prince Lasha, and Charles Davis on this track.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Abdul Wadud on cello here. Wowza!

10:58am Listener Gregory:

Is this Gunter "Baby" Hampel? Or maybe Gunter "Bobo" Hampel??

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Neither.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

But that was chuckleworthy.

11:02am Listener Gregory:

Confused with (seriously) Günter "Baby" Sommer. We apologize for the inconvenience.

11:04am r "Baby" w:

Good morning!

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

I thought you were kidding around, Listener Gregory.

Good morning, rw!

11:12am Marie:

A show from Australia, how groovy!

11:14am chresti:

I missed Meghan's show, as it was 4 in the morning.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Marie
Very excited about it!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

The host of our new show, Five Miles to Midnight, is a professional Elvis impersonator: www.theknave.net

11:18am Listener Gregory:

The job is just too important to leave to amateurs.

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

The Knave makes the point of metioning that FMU is in New York on his website.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

This record is NOT by the first president of Ghana. Just wanted to clear that up.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Silly Knave. He must be Jerseyfied.

11:22am Stanley:

This set sure is cheering me up, stuck as I am at the office.

🥁

11:23am doctorjazz:

This is great (Money Palava), me and staff dancing (in our seats),

11:24am chresti:

I need to get some money, too.

🥁

11:24am doctorjazz:

Those African guitar lines KILL me!

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

Stanley what happened to Fridays off.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Coming from a doctor, I would think killing to be a bad thing.

Get thee to a pubbery, Stanley

11:26am Uncle Michael:

Join me at the top of the hour to hear me blather on and on about one of the most pathetic events in baseball/music/radio history, on the occasion of its 40th anniversary...and play lots of disco and AOR rock. Sounds like fun, right?

www.wfmu.org...

11:29am chresti:

@doc, me too, every time!

🥁

11:31am doctorjazz:

"First did no harm", as the oath says @Doug, but it doesn't apply to one's self, just patients (I understand there's much self harm among docs these days, sadly...).

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
I believe the Orioles followed the Tigers into Comiskey Park and I remember hoping that the first game of the O's series would be a forfeit like the second game of the doubleheader.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
The Give the Drummer Some formulary is here for you, Sir.

11:34am Marie:

Love this. Excellent show, as per usual. Thanks, Doug!

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Marie
♥

🥁

11:38am listener james from westwood:

I am editing a giant report about electricity access in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and each time I try to type DRC I type DNC. Blue on the brain!

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Hope mistypes eternal, listener james!

11:44am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Uncle Michael promises not to blow anything up during today's Hinky Dinky Time. Except your mind.

Coming up next! wfmu.org...

11:46am Sem:

Good luck with the leakages, Doug. See you and all next time, if the tide don't rise.

🥁

11:47am Brian in UK:

Formerly the Belgian Congo?

Great show as ever, Doug.

11:48am Uncle Michael:

I make no such promise.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Congo Free State was renamed Belgian Congo in November 1908. Gained independence in June 1960. Renamed Democratic Republic of Congo in August 1964.

🥁

11:52am listener james from westwood:

Had to fact-check that very 1960 stat, in fact!

11:55am CHUCK ROAST:

Now that's a power ballad !

🥁

11:55am listener james from westwood:

With a troubled stint as Zaire, just long enough for a certain rumble in a certain jungle (and a kickass song).

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Oh the value of a good editor! Kids these days (who own all the media conglomerates) just don't care.

11:56am Marie:

woo hoo!

11:56am Marie:

woo hoo re: this song :>)

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the music, Doug...see you all shortly.

11:58am Jeff Golick:

What'd I miss?

11:59am chresti:

Thanks Doug!

11:59am Listener Gregory:

I saw a nice-looking trunk in an antique store recently, but it had an address stenciled on it for the Belgian Congo. It gave me the creeps.

11:59am Listener Gregory:

"Enjoy this lovely antique, and don't think about genocide!"

12:01pm Listener Gregory:

Great show, Doug.

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, everyhuman! I loved every minute of it!

12:05pm Phillippe Bastille:

Thanks Doug
