Listener comments!
	🥁 8:57am Brian in UK: Hello Prolific DJ.
	8:57am Doug Schulkind: I am pro-choice, not prolific.
	8:58am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Doug and all other listeners!

	9:00am Doug Schulkind: PAULSSSSSS!
	9:01am Irene Trudel: Happy Friday Doug and all drummers!
	9:02am Doug Schulkind: Happy you're here, Irene!
	9:03am Stork: It's that Sarah Webster Fabio Friday kick in the ass!!
	🥁 9:03am PAULS: moanin, Doug! and drummers in the house and out
	9:03am Doug Schulkind: Almost forgot to add the GREEN!
	🥁 9:04am PAULS: You are PRO-FESSIONAL, sir
	🥁 9:04am Brian in UK: I like the blue but the green does give it a touch of antiquity.
	🥁 9:06am listener james from westwood: Hey Doug and all!
	9:07am Stork: Really looking forward to this! Don't know this guy at all!!
	🥁 9:08am dutchtheo: Howdy, Doug and drumband! Sax and Violins!
	9:09am TDK60: Good morning, Doug. Love the Lewis orchestral sound. Ever heard his "European Windows" album?
	9:09am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, listener james from westwood! Greetings, Stork! Glad to see yam dutchtheo! @Stork Search your own playlist and I'm willing to bet Selwart Clarke will appear.
	9:10am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 Yes indeed. John Lewis is a not-heralded-enough genius.
	9:11am Doug Schulkind: @Stork Not only does Selwart Clarke appear on this playlist of yours: wfmu.org... it's on a track I will be spinning later. Great minds spin alike!
	9:13am alanr: Signing in from a warm Mexico city, hitting the mid 70s this afternoon....then next Friday, I will have cold fingers in Brooklyn again.
	9:14am Gina Bacon: Morning, Doug & Fridayfolks!
	9:14am happymaan: I was never able to meet my wifes dad, but I would bet he was a fan of John Lewis
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: Cold fingers, warm heart, alanr. Good morning to you, Nashville Gina!
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: @happymaan I was never able to meet my wife's dad either. I doubt he would have appreciated John Lewis, however.
	9:15am listener Rey: Hello Doug and all the GTDS listeners
	9:16am happymaan: Said wife is still in bed sleeping off the booster shot. She hasn't woken up this morning yet so I don't know how she's feeling. I put this show on in the bedroom while she sleeping, I think it will stay chill.
	9:16am Listener Gregory: This is the part of the show when I wish everyone good morning. Doug, you’ll announce the alto player?
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Jim Hall on guitar here!
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Woop woop, it's listener Rey! And Listener Gregory. Both from the Listener family.
	9:17am TDK60: Hola Alanr. It's due to be 66°F in NJ/NY tomorrow. Eek.
	9:18am Uncle Michael: guten morgen
	9:18am happymaan: He died when she was quite young, some her strongest memories of him seem music related. he had an amazing record collection. even listened to music on reel to reel tape back in the 80's-90's.
	9:18am alanr: @TDK60 Yes... I looked to see the weather when I return on Wednesday...not a trypical December temp, but better than returning to a blizzard!
	9:18am Listener Robert: Wow, that really sounded like it was telling a story.
	9:19am TDK60: ..as the US regime continues its fossil foolishness...
	9:19am adamdoesit: Good morning, Doug, drummers, and others. The John Lewis suite was new to me. Neat!
	9:19am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert There are a million stories in the naked radio show.
	9:20am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit Some of Lewis's compositions for larger ensembles are fabulous.
	9:21am bigplanetnoise: Good morning! Is there still coffee?
	9:23am Doug Schulkind: A trio of string players on this Andrew Hill delight: Selwart Clarke (viola), Alfred Brown (violin), and Kermit Moore (cello). These three men have appeared on many hundreds (thousands?) of recordings. Go-to session men, able to play in any style and context. And each were elite orchestral/symphonic players
	9:23am Listener Robert: John Lewis was my boss. For the same reason Robert Goodman gets around so much, and that I'm friendly with Nancy Wilson.
	9:24am Gina Bacon: There is, bigplanetnoise!
	9:25am Doug Schulkind: Focusing on Selwart Clarke with today's program, but the show could easily be a tribute to Alfred Brown and Kermit Moore as well.
	9:26am Doug Schulkind: @bigplanetnoise Have I got something brewing for you!
	9:28am Doug Schulkind: On this Ken McIntyre record, Selwart Clarke is credited simply as "concermaster." There is an uncredited 13-piece string section included. He is most likely playing viola. Typically the 1st violinist is concertmaster. Clarke was an abundantly talented man.
	9:28am prudy: good morning all...for some reason this is reminding me of the theme from The French Connection...
	9:29am Doug Schulkind: @prudy I LOVE that association. It is indeed very atmospheric.
	🥁 9:30am PAULS: @Listener Robert - I worked at NPR with Nancy Wilson in early '00s, class act!
	9:31am Stork: WOW! I see two playlists coming up - combing the contents to find out which tunes.
	🥁 9:32am PAULS: double check those specs, Stork!
	9:32am Doug Schulkind: @Stork I will be playing BOTH of the tracks you singled out for your program. Obviously we have compatible tastes.
	9:35am Stork: OKAY - just ID'd one from one of my shows, but I'll keep it under my hat!
	🥁 9:36am PAULS: ooops sorry Stork, read that wrong. Thought you were having vision or browser issues! heh
	🥁 9:36am PAULS: "I see two playlists"
	9:39am adamdoesit: My City Ballet-loving wife just pricked up her booster-addled ears.
	9:39am Listener Gregory: Doug, may I make a pedantic correction so Jeff G doesn't have to later? You have the Lewis composition as "Feelins," but I see it listed as "Feelings" on record sources.
	9:39am still b/p: "His oeuvre is gobsmacking" sounds nicely halfway to droog-speak.
	🥁 9:42am duke: Favorite track on my favorite Yusef Lateef album.
	9:44am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Thanks for that typo-alert! Wish I could blame my typos on the booster. @duke Thank God no one every asks me which my favorite Yusef record is. But if they did it would be between The Blue Yusef Lateef, and Yusef Lateef's Detroit.
	9:45am Doug Schulkind: I wonder which Yusef album is God's favorite?
	🥁 9:46am duke: @Doug That's a tough choice.
	9:47am adamdoesit: @Doug, all of them, at once. Probably the best thing about omnipotence.
	9:48am TDK60: Don't about God, but the Muses likely have various opinions.
	9:48am Doug Schulkind: @duke @adamdoesit So very true.
	9:49am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!
	9:50am TDK60: [know] \| Hola chresti.
	9:50am Doug Schulkind: One fun thing about this show is that for today's playlist I was going for the tracks with the most prominent string contributions. These are not necessarily the first tracks I would typically go to play first (though that Yusef cut was a #1 track on any show).
	9:51am chresti: Hola TDK60. \\//
	9:51am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome, chresti!
	9:52am TDK60: Ah.. stringing us along, eh?
	9:54am Doug Schulkind: As you could have guessed, Selwart Clarke appears on the Rahsaan Roland Kirk LP "Boogie-Woogie String Along For Real."
	9:54am still b/p: It takes gut.
	9:59am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke appears on dozens of legendary salsa recordings from the '70s.
	10:01am Doug Schulkind: Louie Ortiz on that gorgeous flugelhorn interlude.
	10:01am Doug Schulkind: Hello, still b/p. It takes guts to point that out.
	10:02am Doug Schulkind: Listen to those motherfucking strings!
	🥁 10:03am PAULS: SWEAR JAR!
	10:04am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS How do you think I paid for my daughter's college education?!
	10:04am listener Rey: You know I usually skip over strings credits on salsa LPs, usually only noticing Orloff & Lookovsky. Need to pay more attention!
	🥁 10:05am PAULS: A degree based on profanity. I like it.
	10:06am still b/p: A degree earned at FU. The tightness of a lotta salsa tracks is reeeeemarkable.
	🥁 10:06am PAULS: This song is as good as coffee. or blow, cuz I dont drink coffee
	10:06am listener Rey: This is one of my favorite Willie Colon albums. Its a soundtrack to a ballet. Was Clarke also on "Willie Solo"? Cause the strings on that album are so good.
	10:06am Alex In Illinois: Good morning to fellow drummer streamers in the "Western Hemisphere". Good afternoon or evening to the rest!
	10:07am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke is actually on cello on this Willie Colón sizzler. @listener Rey I once dated for a very short time a woman who played violin with Tito Puente and others.
	10:07am Doug Schulkind: Alex in Ill-a-NOISE!
	🥁 10:08am PAULS: Viejitos: old men! This song is for US!! (many of us, anyhow)
	🥁 10:08am βrian: "Down there," as we refer to IL.
	10:09am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS Claro que sí.
	10:10am chresti: Little old men
	10:11am WR: ¡Hola!
	10:11am chresti: Hola WR!
	10:12am still b/p: Volume imbalance upon putting earphones in is an abrupt reminder I need to get the little old man ears cleared OUT. Maybe Santa...
	🥁 10:12am PAULS: Claro!!
	10:15am WR: Typically, my first look at the playlist, I'm like, who's Selwart Clarke. Thank you for bringing him into the spotlight.
	10:16am Alex In Illinois: I think there should be at least 1 string quartet with the following instruments: 1 Violin 1 Viola 1 Cello 1 Bass
	🥁 10:17am Brian in UK: still b/p There is a Billy Connolly joke about that.
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: @WR It is my esteemed pleasure to introduce you two.
	10:23am Doug Schulkind: Of course, Ornette would soon be doing occasional things with a violin that many fans of his saxophone playing were not quite fans of. I think criticism of Ornette's violin playing is rank silliness. The man was making sounds with deep emotion and knowledge no matter the instrument. You can't love Ornette the saxist but not Ornette the violinist. My decision is final.
	🥁 10:24am bobdc: @Alex In Illinois: see imslp.org...
	10:25am chresti: It's in the low 40s this morning, I'm shuffling laps around the kitchen table with my coffee and strings..
	10:25am TDK60: Doug, I like that approach. I play tambourine sometimes and some folks furrow brow.
	10:26am Listener Gregory: The Jennifer Koh album Violin Fantasies contains an Ornette composition called "Trinity," which I have not heard elsewhere. There is Ornette on this classical album... right after Schoenberg! It's a good piece.
	10:26am solo mon: Good morning Doug and friends :-)
	10:27am Doug Schulkind: Hello solo! Thanks for getting up oily.
	10:28am chresti: Good morning solo mon!
	10:29am chresti: We're the oily boids!
	10:29am Doug Schulkind: @Alex in Illinois The most string (violin, viola, cello) players hate the bass players. They would never let them in the party. (I know this on good authority from my daughter the violist.)
	10:30am Listener Gregory: Doug, the Ornette string compositions are a real contribution of his. But when he picked up the violin in the middle of a concert, it was often just unclear (to me) what we were supposed to get from it. I never felt that way with his alto playing.
	10:31am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory With respect, I might suggest that the onus is (was) on you to find your way to understanding.
	10:32am Listener Gregory: Yes, but I'm still lost in the woods.
	10:34am Doug Schulkind: With masters like Ornette Coleman, and Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker, all who have been ridiculed for the appreciation of and collaboration with strings, I start from the position that what they are putting out there is a work of significance and importance. It is up to me to find my way to both acceptance and pleasuretaking.
	10:35am solo mon: I try to wake up oily on Fridays !
	10:35am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Being lost in the woods has its virtues. Maybe you should stop thinking of being lost in the woods as a bad thing.
	🥁 10:36am PAULS: That's a fine position, Doug.
	10:37am TDK60: I have to leave the tape temple. Thanks Doug. A resource for more listening later!..
	🥁 10:37am PAULS: Ssssseeya, Sixty! next week same time
	10:38am Listener Gregory: I'm not arguing with you! But understanding cannot just be willed. I probably missed something in a critical period of my youth. Anyway, it's not like I turn off the CD player or write to my newspaper every time Ornette plays the violin—I just wait for comprehension and appreciation to come to me, like the grace of God. (That also has not yet arrived.)
	🥁 10:41am StringOFperils: Good morning, Doug and third streamers!
	10:42am adamdoesit: The conversation about feeling lost in the woods reminds me of clinical supervision. "I'm so confused, I have no idea what the patient is trying to communicate!" "Then you're having the right feeling. Try and stay with it."
	10:42am Doug Schulkind: Adios for now, TDK60! See you next time! @Listener Gregory And I am not arguing with you! There is a wide universe of music and sound that continues to escape my comprehension. Having only two ears (not including the third one) really has its limitations. @STRINGofperils!
	10:43am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit Yes! The practitioners who think they know for sure exactly are the ones who are lost.
	🥁 10:44am bobdc: @Doug: viola-wise, also check out M. Balamuralikrishna, e.g. www.youtube.com... and www.youtube.com... Your daughter might like this Spotify playlist that I've assembled in my four years (and counting) of playing the viola: open.spotify.com...
	10:44am Listening Out There: Was quite a leap for Joe Zawinal from this band to Weather Report...
	10:45am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc How lovely! Thanks for sharing. I will pass this along.
	10:48am WR: Yeah, speaking of Charlie Parker, by playing violin, the music Ornette was creating would not be heard in context of how does this sound post Charlie Parker. Regarding one's response to listening to Ornette's violin playing, 🎻 perhaps helpful to not think of Ornette but to listen as if it is someone else that was inspired by Ornette. And understanding, perhaps not the appropriate word.
	10:50am Listener Gregory: @bobdc, if we're talking violas, let me mention the recent work of Jessica Pavone, which lives in a world in between classical and improvisation. She has a number of good albums out in the past couple of years.
	10:50am Listener Gregory: @WR, agree that "understanding" is not exactly the right word. What IS the right word??? Help!
	🥁 10:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ready! hey, Doug and folx!
	🥁 10:52am PAULS: MX BABA BEE welcome
	10:52am WR: Once met William Fischer, among a group of people standing around at a concert. Wonder if he is still around. Wonder if anyone has done extensive interviews with him.
	10:54am Doug Schulkind: MxBB! How you be! @WR Fischer is a key figure in so many musics. I would love to know more of his story.
	10:55am Jeff Golick: What's all this then?
	🥁 10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey PAULS, thanks! hope all is as well as can be with you and yours
	🥁 10:55am bobdc: @Listener Gregory: I will check her out! The Wikipedia page for her doesn't mention the great free jazz bass player Mario Pavone, but given her Connecticut roots and the Braxton connection I will guess that she is his daughter.
	🥁 10:55am StringOFperils: 'Resonating', or 'empathizing' perhaps, if 'understanding' has had its core meaning co-opted by 18th C scientific 'Enlightenment'. Words are slippery eels , these days.
	🥁 10:56am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I'm slowly waking up, feeding the cats and myself, enjoying these sounds on a chilly SF morning
	10:56am WR: Sorry, @Listener Gregory, I really wish I could pursue this further now, but gotta go punch the work time clock and be present for the customer. Thank you for today's music curation Doug. Will be relistening to this one a few times. Laters all.
	10:57am Doug Schulkind: I'm quite sure that Jeff Golick has played Jessica Pavone numerous times on D:O Radio.
	🥁 10:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ciao, WR, see ya soon!
	10:58am chresti: Morning Mx. Baba Beekins!
	10:58am Uncle Michael: Fun fact: Ringo is playing drums on this track.
	10:58am Doug Schulkind: Cheerio, WR!
	10:59am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael You kidder you! (Actually Bernard Purdie WAS on drums on the previous David Newman track, too.)
	🥁 10:59am StringOFperils: Ha ha, UM. Everyone knows Ringo is playing euphonium on this.
	11:00am Listener Gregory: @bobdc, I thought that the two Pavones were related too, but Bruce at Downtown Music Gallery assured me they weren't. I can only assume he was lying—probably for a good reason.
	11:01am Doug Schulkind: I would like to be reincarnated as Bernard Purdie. Maybe not for a few years yet, but, yeah.
	11:02am Doug Schulkind: Backing vocals on this monster: Barbara Massey, Carl Hall, Eileen Gilbert, Hilda Harris, Maeretha Stewart.
	11:03am solo mon: My eyes are open, but my brain and fingers aren’t ready for business yet.
	🥁 11:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): This song reminds me of the Lynda Barry story about the kids at school ranking each other Soul Sisters #1-etc
	11:05am Doug Schulkind: Tom Rapp is credited with vocals and "breathing" on this album.
	11:06am Doug Schulkind: Lynda Barry = hero
	11:06am Listener Gregory: I have breathed on a lot of CDs but hardly ever on a record or tape.
	🥁 11:06am bobdc: @Listener Gregory: the next time someone in the GTDS family runs into Mr. Braxton they should have him clear this up for us.
	🥁 11:07am Brian in UK: I do not have a sweet tooth but do like Baklava.
	11:07am solo mon: Totally Baba Bee. I heard that too!
	11:08am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK All of my teeths are sweet.
	11:08am solo mon: I love it when breathers are credited. I have a disco album where there’s credits for moaning and hand clapping.
	🥁 11:09am bobdc: If I ever become a performing artist with a stage name of "Frankenstein," I will definitely call my first single "Edgar Winter."
	🥁 11:09am Brian in UK: There will be much dental work at Christmas time with many fill-ins!
	🥁 11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo mon! ha ha I missed you earlier in my bleary state. you, too, looks like
	11:10am Doug Schulkind: Sounds like a Cha Cha Heels special broadcast.
	11:10am still b/p: Brace yourself, Brian.
	11:10am Jeff Golick: There's a new big band record just out that is all Edgar Winter tunes, I think?
	11:11am Doug Schulkind: I wonder if Selwart Clarke and Carol Kaye ever played on the same session.
	11:12am solo mon: Hahaha yeah bleary morning. I ODd on 2:1 gummies yesterday trying to make it through my bustier shot.
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah, my bustier knocked me out, too
	11:13am solo mon: Maestro Mona
	11:13am Listener Gregory: I guess we must also assume that Stanley Clarke is the son of Selwart.
	11:13am adamdoesit: SOP@10:55: resonating! word.
	11:14am Listener Gregory: @String, I didn't notice your 10:55 suggestion. "Resonating" is an excellent word.
	🥁 11:18am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): the song sounds so hopeful, when Louis sings it
	11:20am Doug Schulkind: I've seen Stanley Clarke live only once. It was around '78 or '79 and he was playing with the New Barbarians. (A real "super group." You should look them up.)
	11:21am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the Watertown treat!
	11:21am Doug Schulkind: You are most welcome, Andrew in Toronto!
	11:21am Uncle Michael: Doug doesn't have Watertown on CD.
	11:21am Uncle Michael: Neither do you...or me.
	11:22am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick! Hello up there ^^. Almost missed ya! Thanks for sending me that Hermeto Pascoal track!!
	🥁 11:24am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): this is hitting the spot only reached by Jimmy Scott
	11:24am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael 8-track, baby, all the way.
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @Doug: always happy to do that!
	11:25am Doug Schulkind: Yusef Lateef plays on a couple of tracks on this Jimmy Scott record. He's credited as "Joe Gentle."
	🥁 11:25am βrian: Haven't been this strung out in a while, I must say.
	11:25am Uncle Michael: Realistic under-dash player?
	🥁 11:26am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ha ha, Doug—have you seen that 8-Track doc; "So Wrong They're Right?"
	11:27am Doug Schulkind: @MxBB No! But I simply must! Thanx for the tip.
	🥁 11:28am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): It's a great doc, and you might recognize one or two of the 8-Track "Enthusiasts" in the mix
	11:29am Doug Schulkind: This is NOT the Miles Davis tune "Tune Up" with lyrics added. Completely different song.
	11:30am Doug Schulkind: I'm sure WFMU's Fabio has seen that documentary. Shit, he's probably in it.
	11:31am Listener Gregory: Jazz guitarist Dave Stryker has a series of 3 albums called "Eight Track" (I, II, III), in which he plays radio hits of his youth. Fortunately, his own albums are not on 8-track.
	🥁 11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I think a couple of WFMUers may appear in that doc
	11:33am still b/p: 8 tracks remind me of riding in the back of a van as songs got to the gag-pause-and-switch points that became familiar and anticipated. Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper. Yes, there was some shag carpet back there with us.
	11:33am Uncle Michael: Picturing Fabio throwing shade at weirdo 8-Track fanatics.
	11:34am Doug Schulkind: Yusef Lateef appeared as "Joe Gentle" on at least one Roberta Flack record.
	11:34am Uncle Michael: Those vans grew their own shag carpets.
	11:35am solo mon: Chia Vans
	11:35am prudy: are you dissing shag carpets UM?
	11:36am solo mon: I wanna go back to a time where carpet could go on walls and ceilings, and kitchens and bathrooms.
	11:36am Uncle Michael: There's Hinky Dinky Time coming at the top of the hour. You don't care. wfmu.org...
	11:36am Uncle Michael: Yes, prudy.
	11:37am Doug Schulkind: You have an eight-track mind, Uncle Michael.
	11:37am Phillippe: diggin' the show today, Doug we care, UM, we always care...
	11:37am Uncle Michael: Shag on the walls in the stairway down to the TV room, just like Elvis...
	11:37am Doug Schulkind: Hey hey, Phillippe!
	11:37am ARB: LOL about 8 track mind! Good morning Doug!
	11:38am prudy: UM...couldn't get enough in your youth I assume...
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Well that stopped time.
	11:39am Uncle Michael: I had a shag-filled youth.
	11:39am Uncle Michael: We had the rake.
	11:39am Andres: Good morning! Ballad Of The Sad Young Man was the soundtrack of me starting my day. Lovely!
	11:40am Andres: *Men
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: Good day, Andres!
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: I bet you've been just dying to ask me for two hours now... "Doug, has Selwart Clarke ever played with the King of Soul, James Brown?" Sit down, children, and let me spin you a story.
	11:41am still b/p: Heard a report -- from someone briefly in her employ -- of Roberta being mean and impatient, unfortunately. Maybeee...it was just that day, because that's how brief the job was. Some instruction given by another staffer about walking the dog, some misunderstanding and the teller of the tale was throwed unceremoniousy OUTA there. With all the weed stores now, is anyone offering a room of much shag and related accoutrements? I guess you can't indulge on-site, though, right?
	🥁 11:43am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): "my cat is running over"
	🥁 11:44am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I guess I'll have to laugh, laugh, laugh Hi, ARB!
	11:44am Doug Schulkind: @still b/p I heard the same thing about the singer Betty Carter. Funny how we never hear this crap about male singers.
	🥁 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Doug, I hear ya.
	🥁 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): [tucking my soap box away for the moment]
	11:46am ARB: Hi Baba!!!
	11:48am Doug Schulkind: Heya, ARB!
	11:48am Listener Gregory: You know, Doug, when you started on this Selwyn journey I thought maybe you would come up with half a dozen cuts. But the diversity and quality of this music is really amazing.
	🥁 11:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): LG: mind blown yet again
	11:49am Doug Schulkind: The final seconds of Give the Drummer Some are nigh. But fret not, Hinky Dinky Time is ready to take you away. Just like Calgon, but with more bubbles. Join Uncle Michael here: wfmu.org...
	11:49am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory This is barely scratching the surface.
	11:51am Doug Schulkind: I could do 10 shows of killer disco with Selwart Clarke playing on 'em. 10 shows of salsa. 10 shows of jazz. 10 shows of singers.
	11:51am Listener Gregory: Not sure we don't hear these things about male singers too. Sinatra was testy. James Brown was a real taskmaster and used rehearsals as punishment. I think maybe the difference is that the male behavior is accepted as a cost of being talented, and the female behavior is not.
	🥁 11:52am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): @11:25 βrian: caffeine finally kicked in! LOL!
	11:52am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke, LIVE! Playing with Kool & the Gang, at P.J.'s in Hollywood!
	11:52am Doug Schulkind: @LG Preach brother.
	11:53am Uncle Michael: I need some show-ffeine...or some show-drenaline.
	11:53am still b/p: Tony Bennet's an abusive, flame-breathing, studio-wrecking monster. Just made that up. Yes, was also gonna note the Cry Cry Cry fella... famously no soft smiling spirit with band employees. Peter Frampton nearly wrangled a concert camera away from its operator when he'd twice framed up a woman holding up Comes Alive album to crowd cheers when Peter was into a solo.

	9:03am Doug Schulkind: Almost forgot to add the GREEN!
	🥁 9:04am PAULS: You are PRO-FESSIONAL, sir
	🥁 9:04am Brian in UK: I like the blue but the green does give it a touch of antiquity.
	🥁 9:06am listener james from westwood: Hey Doug and all!
	9:07am Stork: Really looking forward to this! Don't know this guy at all!!
	🥁 9:08am dutchtheo: Howdy, Doug and drumband! Sax and Violins!
	9:09am TDK60: Good morning, Doug. Love the Lewis orchestral sound. Ever heard his "European Windows" album?
	9:09am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, listener james from westwood! Greetings, Stork! Glad to see yam dutchtheo! @Stork Search your own playlist and I'm willing to bet Selwart Clarke will appear.
	9:10am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 Yes indeed. John Lewis is a not-heralded-enough genius.
	9:11am Doug Schulkind: @Stork Not only does Selwart Clarke appear on this playlist of yours: wfmu.org... it's on a track I will be spinning later. Great minds spin alike!
	9:13am alanr: Signing in from a warm Mexico city, hitting the mid 70s this afternoon....then next Friday, I will have cold fingers in Brooklyn again.
	9:14am Gina Bacon: Morning, Doug & Fridayfolks!
	9:14am happymaan: I was never able to meet my wifes dad, but I would bet he was a fan of John Lewis
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: Cold fingers, warm heart, alanr. Good morning to you, Nashville Gina!
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: @happymaan I was never able to meet my wife's dad either. I doubt he would have appreciated John Lewis, however.
	9:15am listener Rey: Hello Doug and all the GTDS listeners
	9:16am happymaan: Said wife is still in bed sleeping off the booster shot. She hasn't woken up this morning yet so I don't know how she's feeling. I put this show on in the bedroom while she sleeping, I think it will stay chill.
	9:16am Listener Gregory: This is the part of the show when I wish everyone good morning. Doug, you’ll announce the alto player?
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Jim Hall on guitar here!
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Woop woop, it's listener Rey! And Listener Gregory. Both from the Listener family.
	9:17am TDK60: Hola Alanr. It's due to be 66°F in NJ/NY tomorrow. Eek.
	9:18am Uncle Michael: guten morgen
	9:18am happymaan: He died when she was quite young, some her strongest memories of him seem music related. he had an amazing record collection. even listened to music on reel to reel tape back in the 80's-90's.
	9:18am alanr: @TDK60 Yes... I looked to see the weather when I return on Wednesday...not a trypical December temp, but better than returning to a blizzard!
	9:18am Listener Robert: Wow, that really sounded like it was telling a story.
	9:19am TDK60: ..as the US regime continues its fossil foolishness...
	9:19am adamdoesit: Good morning, Doug, drummers, and others. The John Lewis suite was new to me. Neat!
	9:19am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert There are a million stories in the naked radio show.
	9:20am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit Some of Lewis's compositions for larger ensembles are fabulous.
	9:21am bigplanetnoise: Good morning! Is there still coffee?
	9:23am Doug Schulkind: A trio of string players on this Andrew Hill delight: Selwart Clarke (viola), Alfred Brown (violin), and Kermit Moore (cello). These three men have appeared on many hundreds (thousands?) of recordings. Go-to session men, able to play in any style and context. And each were elite orchestral/symphonic players
	9:23am Listener Robert: John Lewis was my boss. For the same reason Robert Goodman gets around so much, and that I'm friendly with Nancy Wilson.
	9:24am Gina Bacon: There is, bigplanetnoise!
	9:25am Doug Schulkind: Focusing on Selwart Clarke with today's program, but the show could easily be a tribute to Alfred Brown and Kermit Moore as well.
	9:26am Doug Schulkind: @bigplanetnoise Have I got something brewing for you!
	9:28am Doug Schulkind: On this Ken McIntyre record, Selwart Clarke is credited simply as "concermaster." There is an uncredited 13-piece string section included. He is most likely playing viola. Typically the 1st violinist is concertmaster. Clarke was an abundantly talented man.
	9:28am prudy: good morning all...for some reason this is reminding me of the theme from The French Connection...
	9:29am Doug Schulkind: @prudy I LOVE that association. It is indeed very atmospheric.
	🥁 9:30am PAULS: @Listener Robert - I worked at NPR with Nancy Wilson in early '00s, class act!
	9:31am Stork: WOW! I see two playlists coming up - combing the contents to find out which tunes.
	🥁 9:32am PAULS: double check those specs, Stork!
	9:32am Doug Schulkind: @Stork I will be playing BOTH of the tracks you singled out for your program. Obviously we have compatible tastes.
	9:35am Stork: OKAY - just ID'd one from one of my shows, but I'll keep it under my hat!
	🥁 9:36am PAULS: ooops sorry Stork, read that wrong. Thought you were having vision or browser issues! heh
	🥁 9:36am PAULS: "I see two playlists"
	9:39am adamdoesit: My City Ballet-loving wife just pricked up her booster-addled ears.
	9:39am Listener Gregory: Doug, may I make a pedantic correction so Jeff G doesn't have to later? You have the Lewis composition as "Feelins," but I see it listed as "Feelings" on record sources.
	9:39am still b/p: "His oeuvre is gobsmacking" sounds nicely halfway to droog-speak.
	🥁 9:42am duke: Favorite track on my favorite Yusef Lateef album.
	9:44am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Thanks for that typo-alert! Wish I could blame my typos on the booster. @duke Thank God no one every asks me which my favorite Yusef record is. But if they did it would be between The Blue Yusef Lateef, and Yusef Lateef's Detroit.
	9:45am Doug Schulkind: I wonder which Yusef album is God's favorite?
	🥁 9:46am duke: @Doug That's a tough choice.
	9:47am adamdoesit: @Doug, all of them, at once. Probably the best thing about omnipotence.
	9:48am TDK60: Don't about God, but the Muses likely have various opinions.
	9:48am Doug Schulkind: @duke @adamdoesit So very true.
	9:49am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!
	9:50am TDK60: [know] \| Hola chresti.
	9:50am Doug Schulkind: One fun thing about this show is that for today's playlist I was going for the tracks with the most prominent string contributions. These are not necessarily the first tracks I would typically go to play first (though that Yusef cut was a #1 track on any show).
	9:51am chresti: Hola TDK60. \\//
	9:51am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome, chresti!
	9:52am TDK60: Ah.. stringing us along, eh?
	9:54am Doug Schulkind: As you could have guessed, Selwart Clarke appears on the Rahsaan Roland Kirk LP "Boogie-Woogie String Along For Real."
	9:54am still b/p: It takes gut.
	9:59am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke appears on dozens of legendary salsa recordings from the '70s.
	10:01am Doug Schulkind: Louie Ortiz on that gorgeous flugelhorn interlude.
	10:01am Doug Schulkind: Hello, still b/p. It takes guts to point that out.
	10:02am Doug Schulkind: Listen to those motherfucking strings!
	🥁 10:03am PAULS: SWEAR JAR!
	10:04am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS How do you think I paid for my daughter's college education?!
	10:04am listener Rey: You know I usually skip over strings credits on salsa LPs, usually only noticing Orloff & Lookovsky. Need to pay more attention!
	🥁 10:05am PAULS: A degree based on profanity. I like it.
	10:06am still b/p: A degree earned at FU. The tightness of a lotta salsa tracks is reeeeemarkable.
	🥁 10:06am PAULS: This song is as good as coffee. or blow, cuz I dont drink coffee
	10:06am listener Rey: This is one of my favorite Willie Colon albums. Its a soundtrack to a ballet. Was Clarke also on "Willie Solo"? Cause the strings on that album are so good.
	10:06am Alex In Illinois: Good morning to fellow drummer streamers in the "Western Hemisphere". Good afternoon or evening to the rest!
	10:07am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke is actually on cello on this Willie Colón sizzler. @listener Rey I once dated for a very short time a woman who played violin with Tito Puente and others.
	10:07am Doug Schulkind: Alex in Ill-a-NOISE!
	🥁 10:08am PAULS: Viejitos: old men! This song is for US!! (many of us, anyhow)
	🥁 10:08am βrian: "Down there," as we refer to IL.
	10:09am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS Claro que sí.
	10:10am chresti: Little old men
	10:11am WR: ¡Hola!
	10:11am chresti: Hola WR!
	10:12am still b/p: Volume imbalance upon putting earphones in is an abrupt reminder I need to get the little old man ears cleared OUT. Maybe Santa...
	🥁 10:12am PAULS: Claro!!
	10:15am WR: Typically, my first look at the playlist, I'm like, who's Selwart Clarke. Thank you for bringing him into the spotlight.
	10:16am Alex In Illinois: I think there should be at least 1 string quartet with the following instruments: 1 Violin 1 Viola 1 Cello 1 Bass
	🥁 10:17am Brian in UK: still b/p There is a Billy Connolly joke about that.
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: @WR It is my esteemed pleasure to introduce you two.
	10:23am Doug Schulkind: Of course, Ornette would soon be doing occasional things with a violin that many fans of his saxophone playing were not quite fans of. I think criticism of Ornette's violin playing is rank silliness. The man was making sounds with deep emotion and knowledge no matter the instrument. You can't love Ornette the saxist but not Ornette the violinist. My decision is final.
	🥁 10:24am bobdc: @Alex In Illinois: see imslp.org...
	10:25am chresti: It's in the low 40s this morning, I'm shuffling laps around the kitchen table with my coffee and strings..
	10:25am TDK60: Doug, I like that approach. I play tambourine sometimes and some folks furrow brow.
	10:26am Listener Gregory: The Jennifer Koh album Violin Fantasies contains an Ornette composition called "Trinity," which I have not heard elsewhere. There is Ornette on this classical album... right after Schoenberg! It's a good piece.
	10:26am solo mon: Good morning Doug and friends :-)
	10:27am Doug Schulkind: Hello solo! Thanks for getting up oily.
	10:28am chresti: Good morning solo mon!
	10:29am chresti: We're the oily boids!
	10:29am Doug Schulkind: @Alex in Illinois The most string (violin, viola, cello) players hate the bass players. They would never let them in the party. (I know this on good authority from my daughter the violist.)
	10:30am Listener Gregory: Doug, the Ornette string compositions are a real contribution of his. But when he picked up the violin in the middle of a concert, it was often just unclear (to me) what we were supposed to get from it. I never felt that way with his alto playing.
	10:31am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory With respect, I might suggest that the onus is (was) on you to find your way to understanding.
	10:32am Listener Gregory: Yes, but I'm still lost in the woods.
	10:34am Doug Schulkind: With masters like Ornette Coleman, and Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker, all who have been ridiculed for the appreciation of and collaboration with strings, I start from the position that what they are putting out there is a work of significance and importance. It is up to me to find my way to both acceptance and pleasuretaking.
	10:35am solo mon: I try to wake up oily on Fridays !
	10:35am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Being lost in the woods has its virtues. Maybe you should stop thinking of being lost in the woods as a bad thing.
	🥁 10:36am PAULS: That's a fine position, Doug.
	10:37am TDK60: I have to leave the tape temple. Thanks Doug. A resource for more listening later!..
	🥁 10:37am PAULS: Ssssseeya, Sixty! next week same time
	10:38am Listener Gregory: I'm not arguing with you! But understanding cannot just be willed. I probably missed something in a critical period of my youth. Anyway, it's not like I turn off the CD player or write to my newspaper every time Ornette plays the violin—I just wait for comprehension and appreciation to come to me, like the grace of God. (That also has not yet arrived.)
	🥁 10:41am StringOFperils: Good morning, Doug and third streamers!
	10:42am adamdoesit: The conversation about feeling lost in the woods reminds me of clinical supervision. "I'm so confused, I have no idea what the patient is trying to communicate!" "Then you're having the right feeling. Try and stay with it."
	10:42am Doug Schulkind: Adios for now, TDK60! See you next time! @Listener Gregory And I am not arguing with you! There is a wide universe of music and sound that continues to escape my comprehension. Having only two ears (not including the third one) really has its limitations. @STRINGofperils!
	10:43am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit Yes! The practitioners who think they know for sure exactly are the ones who are lost.
	🥁 10:44am bobdc: @Doug: viola-wise, also check out M. Balamuralikrishna, e.g. www.youtube.com... and www.youtube.com... Your daughter might like this Spotify playlist that I've assembled in my four years (and counting) of playing the viola: open.spotify.com...
	10:44am Listening Out There: Was quite a leap for Joe Zawinal from this band to Weather Report...
	10:45am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc How lovely! Thanks for sharing. I will pass this along.
	10:48am WR: Yeah, speaking of Charlie Parker, by playing violin, the music Ornette was creating would not be heard in context of how does this sound post Charlie Parker. Regarding one's response to listening to Ornette's violin playing, 🎻 perhaps helpful to not think of Ornette but to listen as if it is someone else that was inspired by Ornette. And understanding, perhaps not the appropriate word.
	10:50am Listener Gregory: @bobdc, if we're talking violas, let me mention the recent work of Jessica Pavone, which lives in a world in between classical and improvisation. She has a number of good albums out in the past couple of years.
	10:50am Listener Gregory: @WR, agree that "understanding" is not exactly the right word. What IS the right word??? Help!
	🥁 10:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ready! hey, Doug and folx!
	🥁 10:52am PAULS: MX BABA BEE welcome
	10:52am WR: Once met William Fischer, among a group of people standing around at a concert. Wonder if he is still around. Wonder if anyone has done extensive interviews with him.
	10:54am Doug Schulkind: MxBB! How you be! @WR Fischer is a key figure in so many musics. I would love to know more of his story.
	10:55am Jeff Golick: What's all this then?
	🥁 10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey PAULS, thanks! hope all is as well as can be with you and yours
	🥁 10:55am bobdc: @Listener Gregory: I will check her out! The Wikipedia page for her doesn't mention the great free jazz bass player Mario Pavone, but given her Connecticut roots and the Braxton connection I will guess that she is his daughter.
	🥁 10:55am StringOFperils: 'Resonating', or 'empathizing' perhaps, if 'understanding' has had its core meaning co-opted by 18th C scientific 'Enlightenment'. Words are slippery eels , these days.
	🥁 10:56am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I'm slowly waking up, feeding the cats and myself, enjoying these sounds on a chilly SF morning
	10:56am WR: Sorry, @Listener Gregory, I really wish I could pursue this further now, but gotta go punch the work time clock and be present for the customer. Thank you for today's music curation Doug. Will be relistening to this one a few times. Laters all.
	10:57am Doug Schulkind: I'm quite sure that Jeff Golick has played Jessica Pavone numerous times on D:O Radio.
	🥁 10:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ciao, WR, see ya soon!
	10:58am chresti: Morning Mx. Baba Beekins!
	10:58am Uncle Michael: Fun fact: Ringo is playing drums on this track.
	10:58am Doug Schulkind: Cheerio, WR!
	10:59am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael You kidder you! (Actually Bernard Purdie WAS on drums on the previous David Newman track, too.)
	🥁 10:59am StringOFperils: Ha ha, UM. Everyone knows Ringo is playing euphonium on this.
	11:00am Listener Gregory: @bobdc, I thought that the two Pavones were related too, but Bruce at Downtown Music Gallery assured me they weren't. I can only assume he was lying—probably for a good reason.
	11:01am Doug Schulkind: I would like to be reincarnated as Bernard Purdie. Maybe not for a few years yet, but, yeah.
	11:02am Doug Schulkind: Backing vocals on this monster: Barbara Massey, Carl Hall, Eileen Gilbert, Hilda Harris, Maeretha Stewart.
	11:03am solo mon: My eyes are open, but my brain and fingers aren’t ready for business yet.
	🥁 11:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): This song reminds me of the Lynda Barry story about the kids at school ranking each other Soul Sisters #1-etc
	11:05am Doug Schulkind: Tom Rapp is credited with vocals and "breathing" on this album.
	11:06am Doug Schulkind: Lynda Barry = hero
	11:06am Listener Gregory: I have breathed on a lot of CDs but hardly ever on a record or tape.
	🥁 11:06am bobdc: @Listener Gregory: the next time someone in the GTDS family runs into Mr. Braxton they should have him clear this up for us.
	🥁 11:07am Brian in UK: I do not have a sweet tooth but do like Baklava.
	11:07am solo mon: Totally Baba Bee. I heard that too!
	11:08am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK All of my teeths are sweet.
	11:08am solo mon: I love it when breathers are credited. I have a disco album where there’s credits for moaning and hand clapping.
	🥁 11:09am bobdc: If I ever become a performing artist with a stage name of "Frankenstein," I will definitely call my first single "Edgar Winter."
	🥁 11:09am Brian in UK: There will be much dental work at Christmas time with many fill-ins!
	🥁 11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo mon! ha ha I missed you earlier in my bleary state. you, too, looks like
	11:10am Doug Schulkind: Sounds like a Cha Cha Heels special broadcast.
	11:10am still b/p: Brace yourself, Brian.
	11:10am Jeff Golick: There's a new big band record just out that is all Edgar Winter tunes, I think?
	11:11am Doug Schulkind: I wonder if Selwart Clarke and Carol Kaye ever played on the same session.
	11:12am solo mon: Hahaha yeah bleary morning. I ODd on 2:1 gummies yesterday trying to make it through my bustier shot.
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah, my bustier knocked me out, too
	11:13am solo mon: Maestro Mona
	11:13am Listener Gregory: I guess we must also assume that Stanley Clarke is the son of Selwart.
	11:13am adamdoesit: SOP@10:55: resonating! word.
	11:14am Listener Gregory: @String, I didn't notice your 10:55 suggestion. "Resonating" is an excellent word.
	🥁 11:18am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): the song sounds so hopeful, when Louis sings it
	11:20am Doug Schulkind: I've seen Stanley Clarke live only once. It was around '78 or '79 and he was playing with the New Barbarians. (A real "super group." You should look them up.)
	11:21am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the Watertown treat!
	11:21am Doug Schulkind: You are most welcome, Andrew in Toronto!
	11:21am Uncle Michael: Doug doesn't have Watertown on CD.
	11:21am Uncle Michael: Neither do you...or me.
	11:22am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick! Hello up there ^^. Almost missed ya! Thanks for sending me that Hermeto Pascoal track!!
	🥁 11:24am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): this is hitting the spot only reached by Jimmy Scott
	11:24am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael 8-track, baby, all the way.
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @Doug: always happy to do that!
	11:25am Doug Schulkind: Yusef Lateef plays on a couple of tracks on this Jimmy Scott record. He's credited as "Joe Gentle."
	🥁 11:25am βrian: Haven't been this strung out in a while, I must say.
	11:25am Uncle Michael: Realistic under-dash player?
	🥁 11:26am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ha ha, Doug—have you seen that 8-Track doc; "So Wrong They're Right?"
	11:27am Doug Schulkind: @MxBB No! But I simply must! Thanx for the tip.
	🥁 11:28am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): It's a great doc, and you might recognize one or two of the 8-Track "Enthusiasts" in the mix
	11:29am Doug Schulkind: This is NOT the Miles Davis tune "Tune Up" with lyrics added. Completely different song.
	11:30am Doug Schulkind: I'm sure WFMU's Fabio has seen that documentary. Shit, he's probably in it.
	11:31am Listener Gregory: Jazz guitarist Dave Stryker has a series of 3 albums called "Eight Track" (I, II, III), in which he plays radio hits of his youth. Fortunately, his own albums are not on 8-track.
	🥁 11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I think a couple of WFMUers may appear in that doc
	11:33am still b/p: 8 tracks remind me of riding in the back of a van as songs got to the gag-pause-and-switch points that became familiar and anticipated. Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper. Yes, there was some shag carpet back there with us.
	11:33am Uncle Michael: Picturing Fabio throwing shade at weirdo 8-Track fanatics.
	11:34am Doug Schulkind: Yusef Lateef appeared as "Joe Gentle" on at least one Roberta Flack record.
	11:34am Uncle Michael: Those vans grew their own shag carpets.
	11:35am solo mon: Chia Vans
	11:35am prudy: are you dissing shag carpets UM?
	11:36am solo mon: I wanna go back to a time where carpet could go on walls and ceilings, and kitchens and bathrooms.
	11:36am Uncle Michael: There's Hinky Dinky Time coming at the top of the hour. You don't care. wfmu.org...
	11:36am Uncle Michael: Yes, prudy.
	11:37am Doug Schulkind: You have an eight-track mind, Uncle Michael.
	11:37am Phillippe: diggin' the show today, Doug we care, UM, we always care...
	11:37am Uncle Michael: Shag on the walls in the stairway down to the TV room, just like Elvis...
	11:37am Doug Schulkind: Hey hey, Phillippe!
	11:37am ARB: LOL about 8 track mind! Good morning Doug!
	11:38am prudy: UM...couldn't get enough in your youth I assume...
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Well that stopped time.
	11:39am Uncle Michael: I had a shag-filled youth.
	11:39am Uncle Michael: We had the rake.
	11:39am Andres: Good morning! Ballad Of The Sad Young Man was the soundtrack of me starting my day. Lovely!
	11:40am Andres: *Men
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: Good day, Andres!
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: I bet you've been just dying to ask me for two hours now... "Doug, has Selwart Clarke ever played with the King of Soul, James Brown?" Sit down, children, and let me spin you a story.
	11:41am still b/p: Heard a report -- from someone briefly in her employ -- of Roberta being mean and impatient, unfortunately. Maybeee...it was just that day, because that's how brief the job was. Some instruction given by another staffer about walking the dog, some misunderstanding and the teller of the tale was throwed unceremoniousy OUTA there. With all the weed stores now, is anyone offering a room of much shag and related accoutrements? I guess you can't indulge on-site, though, right?
	🥁 11:43am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): "my cat is running over"
	🥁 11:44am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I guess I'll have to laugh, laugh, laugh Hi, ARB!
	11:44am Doug Schulkind: @still b/p I heard the same thing about the singer Betty Carter. Funny how we never hear this crap about male singers.
	🥁 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Doug, I hear ya.
	🥁 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): [tucking my soap box away for the moment]
	11:46am ARB: Hi Baba!!!
	11:48am Doug Schulkind: Heya, ARB!
	11:48am Listener Gregory: You know, Doug, when you started on this Selwyn journey I thought maybe you would come up with half a dozen cuts. But the diversity and quality of this music is really amazing.
	🥁 11:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): LG: mind blown yet again
	11:49am Doug Schulkind: The final seconds of Give the Drummer Some are nigh. But fret not, Hinky Dinky Time is ready to take you away. Just like Calgon, but with more bubbles. Join Uncle Michael here: wfmu.org...
	11:49am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory This is barely scratching the surface.
	11:51am Doug Schulkind: I could do 10 shows of killer disco with Selwart Clarke playing on 'em. 10 shows of salsa. 10 shows of jazz. 10 shows of singers.
	11:51am Listener Gregory: Not sure we don't hear these things about male singers too. Sinatra was testy. James Brown was a real taskmaster and used rehearsals as punishment. I think maybe the difference is that the male behavior is accepted as a cost of being talented, and the female behavior is not.
	🥁 11:52am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): @11:25 βrian: caffeine finally kicked in! LOL!
	11:52am Doug Schulkind: Selwart Clarke, LIVE! Playing with Kool & the Gang, at P.J.'s in Hollywood!
	11:52am Doug Schulkind: @LG Preach brother.
	11:53am Uncle Michael: I need some show-ffeine...or some show-drenaline.
	11:53am still b/p: Tony Bennet's an abusive, flame-breathing, studio-wrecking monster. Just made that up. Yes, was also gonna note the Cry Cry Cry fella... famously no soft smiling spirit with band employees. Peter Frampton nearly wrangled a concert camera away from its operator when he'd twice framed up a woman holding up Comes Alive album to crowd cheers when Peter was into a solo. Divas...equal opportunity.
	11:54am rw: Thank you Doug.
	🥁 11:54am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I think I slept through the anatomy class where they pointed out the money maker
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for an enlightening three hours!!
	11:55am Uncle Michael: waited all day for this one...not because of Selwart Clarke...just because.
	11:55am Doug Schulkind: You are Right Welcome, rw.
	11:55am rw: Mx. Bee, I believe it's just below the waist.
	🥁 11:55am Artie: Finally, we're getting to the bottom of matter!
	🥁 11:55am Artie: Thanks, Doug!
	11:56am Doug Schulkind: So glad you were digging it, Andrew in Toronto. ARTIE! ARTIE! ARTIE!
	11:56am chresti: Thanks Doug!
	🥁 11:56am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): rw: what if I don't have a waist?
	11:56am Phillippe: Thanks Doug!
	11:56am Uncle Michael: thank you, Doug
	11:56am Jeff Golick: Troglodyte!
	11:57am Uncle Michael: a waist is a terrible thing to mind
	11:57am Alex In Illinois: Why isn't this tune covered more?
	11:57am ARB: Thanks Doug!!!
	🥁 11:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins shaking it!
	11:57am still b/p: Check Adult Ed offerings in your area. Photography, Quilting, French, Anatomy for Funksters...
	11:58am adamdoesit: Something tells me I'm going to be signing this one to the dogs today.
	11:58am adamdoesit: …or singing. Whichever. Thanks for the tunes, Doug!
	🥁 11:58am dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug!
	🥁 11:59am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey! thank you Doug! (ha ha that afro cuban blues name confused me, too!) see ya all in the Hinky Dinky playpen
	🥁 11:59am StringOFperils: I've had some troglodates. But this meeting was a good one. Thanks!
	11:59am Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Doug!
	11:59am still b/p: Did Sir Mix-A-Lot sample any morsel from BBB for his hit? He shoulda. I had no breakfast...only music so far. Tnaks you for nourishment.
	11:59am Andres: That was a beaut! I mean a butte! I mean… Thanks, Doug!!
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: That was an almost ridiculously abundant amount of fun! Thanks for riding shotgun everyone! Can't wait to do it again!
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: You folks are the best folks!
	🥁 12:06pm Brian in UK: Thank you.
	12:10pm Doug Schulkind: Thank you, Brian in UK! Thank you all!
	🥁 1:04pm bobdc: I just found this video of all of our favorite Pavones playing together at the Blue Note: vimeo.com...
	1:33pm Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Wait. Are they related (Jessica and Mario)? How come I don't know?
	🥁 9:35am bobdc: That was my guess above, especially with the central Connecticut and Braxton connections.
