Figured I'd check out WWOZ, they have a listing for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. I know it is a truism, but there really is NO JAZZ at the festival (well, not NO JAZZ, maybe 1%-Kenny Barron and The Jazz Epistles, with Abdullah Ibrahim and Hugh Masekela will be there). I went twice in the 90's, it was true then as well, but not quite as dramatically as this schedule).

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:12am Ike:

@Glenn, I don't think he's actually crazier, and quite possibly he's less likely to start a nuclear war, slowly tear down the international order and bring about a new Franz Ferdinand moment, or keep a long enemies list. OTOH, Doctorjazz makes a good point. Oh and the "mother" stuff is creepy.

And then there's Amiri Barka's poem "In the Tradition: For Black Arthur Blythe." Heard him perform it live with David Murray and Steve McCall. Mindblowing evening it was.

I have been reading that about Blythe since his death. I learned that he was a rather soft spoken fellow, but one who stood up to aggression and injustice (especially with the cops in L.A. in his formative years).

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
I believe he was under contract with Columbia for seven years.
  10:42am Listener Gregory:

Very sad about Arthur Blythe. I remember listening to him back in the day when you wondered if jazz was going to become an adjunct of disco or something. His flame was always burning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

I have always told the story in my head that it was Columbia that made Blythe drop his stage name "Black Arthur." There is no factual basis to this notion, I just imagined that a major label would've been behind Blythe's change in name on his LPs. Anyone know if this might possibly be true?

So glad you're here, Listener Gregory. Blythe had been living with increasingly aggressive Parkinson's for over a decade. To the extent that endings can be good, I am glad he is at rest.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46am Rich in Washington:

iTunes is always making it harder and harder to organize vast amounts of music. I think that's their goal.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:46am Jeff Golick:

No? Maybe it was Jeff Moore, then...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:46am Uncle Michael:

I use massive external drives and File Explorer. I don't "manage" my library at all.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:46am Artie Haywire:

@doctorjazz - Sometimes it's just a simple as the machine forgetting to use the right audio output device. if you're in for an upgrade, there's a wide range of nice sounding USB DACs on the market these days.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:46am Uncle Michael:

I use lots of different playbak option, including Foobar2000.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:47am Jeff Golick:

@Rich: ha, and yup.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:47am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

We seem to be stuck in 1972. Uncle Michael promises to take you way back to 1971 on today's Hinky Dinky Time. You might as well go. You're up to date on all your immunizations.

Arto Lindsey does a fine cover of "Simply Beautiful".

Foobar allows me to write prepared scripts for moving and creating files based on Tags.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:47am doctorjazz:

Yeah, UM, I rebooted. Use JRiver for music, I believe my antivirus (Kaspersky) "cleaned" the JRiver, and I have no sound since, not with JRiver, Foobar,Windows Media Player, nada.

Well, as it happens, March 31 is World Backup day.
Make sure your backup drive is in good shape — and bootable if possible.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:48am Uncle Michael:

I guess I do rely a lot on Logitech Media Server, and that scans and builds a database.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:48am doctorjazz:

@Artie Haywire-I'm a geek, use an external DAC, Geek Out Special Edition.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

I need someone to come hold my hand as I transition away from iTunes as my library infrastructure. I am just too wussy to do it by myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Rich in Washington:

I think the real reason behind iTune's continued progressive uselessness is that Apple just wants to turn it into a portal for the store and for paying for access to streams. They could care less about your collection of digital files.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:49am Jeff Golick:

Might have to look at Foobar, then. I believe that, instead of crossword puzzles and word-finds, trying to learn a new bit of software will keep dementia at bay, for a time...

I so prefer the Irreverent Al.

Oh this is so perfect as I lay here with this horrible cold. ThAnks Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49am northguineahills:

All of my various blank tape, cassette and reel-to-reel, and most of my master recordings were thrown out by my landlord 3 years ago. I made the mistake of cleaning my apartment the same day they decided to clean the common area (for the first time in two years), I put the box outside my front door, and a few hours later, I hear cleaning noises in the hall, open the door, my box was gone, and workers couldn't tell me what happened to it. Not a fun day.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:50am Jeff Golick:

@Rich: you nailed it. They so clearly prioritize commerce over user convenience.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am Rich in Washington:

I have an intense love/hate relationship with Apple; I have to use their hardware professionally, but as a consumer, I cannot sustain their upgrade or die business model.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:50am Uncle Michael:

Foobar is just a player, albeit a good one.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:51am Uncle Michael:

Love "once I had a secret love" quoted on the sax at the beginning of this Billy Paul.

@UM: it *was* that LMS thing you were trying to help me with, for remote listening...
Avatar 11:51am hyde:

@ngh argh, that is tragic
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Rich in Washington:

and don't even get me started on IOS. I've been iPhone and iPod free for years now and loving it.
Avatar 🥁 11:52am βrian:

The last PB updates amounted to a complete and total face-plant. No thought given to professional users.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:52am Uncle Michael:

That's right, Jeff.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:52am Artie Haywire:

Home library is mainly managed with Tag&Rename, File Explorer, and some backup sync scripts. Playback with Logitech Media Server (oldie/goodie), playback UI by iPeng on iPhone/iPad. If I was building all today, I'd be looking at Rune or Roon server and little build-yr-own devices.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52am Stanley:

This would make a nice segue into the show that follows next.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:52am Jeff Golick:

@Rich, what's your iPod now? Phone?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Chicken Soup for your ears, Maggie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:53am Doug Schulkind:

And your ears, too, northguineahills!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:53am Uncle Michael:

Satnley isn't incorrect.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:53am Uncle Michael:

I meant to type "Satanley".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:53am Rich in Washington:

That's awful NGH. I am sorry to hear. I had something like that happen a few years back. My wife confused a large tote of reel to reel tapes with a similar looking tote of VHS tapes bound for the Goodwill bins.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:54am doctorjazz:

Roon does sound appealing, but it ain't cheap.
I like Foobar, but JRiver is my favorite (not free, though)
(I'm back to LP's and CD's for now...)

Another great show for the books, thanks Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am Rich in Washington:

@Jeff: currently using my android phone with Pulsar, which is simple enough for use in the car.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am Stanley:

UM - surely St Anley?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:54am doctorjazz:

and Neil Young's Pono Player, which I like a lot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am northguineahills:

I haven't upgraded my iTunes in four years. The updates just fudge everything up 80% of the time, and it works fine as is, so there is no need. It's the same reason I haven't updated my iPhone in five years.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:54am Artie Haywire:

@doctorjazz - Birds of a feather. I really like my GOV2!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:55am Uncle Michael:

Neil Young's Hellno player is still being supported?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am Rich in Washington:

I use an ftp-like utility called Commander to transfer songs from my macs to my phone
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am Webhamster Henry:

@ngh arrrgh! I purged a lot of cassettes but still have a few hundred left. My tragedy is that I slimmed down my vinyl and am often looking for stuff that is gone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:56am Doug Schulkind:

My beloved darling Jessie and I don't have "a song," but if we had "a song," this would be "our song."
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:56am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room! Thanks, Doogie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:56am northguineahills:

Ouch, Rich! At least I had some faceless workers hired by my less then cordial landlord as the villain in my case. If my wife did that, I'd would at least be able to get out of cleaning the apt for a year.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:56am Jeff Golick:

We should do this again, soon. Maybe next Friday? Thanks, Doug!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:57am Jeff Golick:

That's sweet, Doug.

And condolences to @ngh and @Rich.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am Stanley:

Another wonderful, interesting and enjoyable show.
Doug......... yeah.
Avatar 11:57am hyde:

thanks for the half hour of the show i actually managed to catch! i bet the other 5/6ths was good too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

It's a date, Jeff Golick. I will bring the Chianti, you bring the breadsticks.

There's a great little bit in an ep of The Office about "The Smokeman."

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:00pm Dave in Vermont:

Thanks, Doug. Great show again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm Rich in Washington:

northguineahills: at least in the case of my sweetie, I had clearly ignored her admonitions to separate all the stuff, so had to suffer the cconsequences.
