Listener comments!

🥁

8:53am duke:

Hello Drummers

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

This show always puts up its dukes.

🥁

8:54am listener james from westwood:

The Don Redman on the stream right now is a good match for the old-timey cartoon.

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

Some of the music that accompanied those old cartoons was Don Redmanesque. Good morning, Listener James from Westwood!

🥁

8:57am listener james from westwood:

How do, most excellent Doug and esteemed fellow listeners!

🥁

8:57am doctorjazz:

HI, all, ready to get out of the gate...

8:58am marcury:

Good Morning. Long time no hear.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

It's the Drummerville Derby, doctorjazz. Ready, set, go!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

My brother marcury! What's cookin'?!

9:01am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:01am marcury:

Musing on the music

9:02am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! music lovers of all stripes!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

I've always found you a-musing, marcury.

Hey-O, holland oats! And yee-haw, ndbob!

9:05am annie:

i'm here, a little off-track, but here in the sidecar

9:07am Uncle Michael:

I need to get my zither!

🥁

9:08am listener james from westwood:

Public works can indeed be fascinating. They replaced two segments of track on the railway outside my office window some years back. Utterly riveted to the proceedings. Cranes! Welding! Thermite! Gandy dancers!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Zithers From Hither and Thither. My new show name.

9:10am Mr C:

Pittsburgh has been home to Honus Wagner, The Crawford Grill, Billy Eckstine, Elroy Face, Sonny Clark, Bobby Layne, Franco Harris, Dave Parker, Johhny Daye, Joe Gruschecky and the Greatest of all: Give the Drummer Some, with host Doug Schulkind!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Some dandy gandy dancing: wfmu.org...

9:11am annie:

i'm hearing sharp static in the stream, is it just me?

9:12am Webhamster Henry:

Good morning, Drummer Somebodies!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C does his homework, folks. (I accept "the greatest" with humility, but also the reality that it is folly.)

Hi staticky annie! (Anyone else hear problems with the stream?)

Welcome aboard, Webhamster Henry!

9:13am ndbob:

None for me Annie

🥁

9:13am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: A GIF for every need!

9:13am marcury:

@annie having issues myself not static, but dropouts.

9:13am Alex In Illinois:

Blues from accross the Pacific?

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Alex in Ill-a-Noise!

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
I've got an actual zither coming up, song after next.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

@marcury
Just tell the dropouts to get off yer lawn and go get a job!

9:18am annie:

these sounds are simlilar to shorting-out noises, screechy and very electric. i shut down the pop-up...

9:18am Stanley:

I've made it and bloody glad too.

9:18am marcury:

@Doug Schulkind, I would but they're having too much fun!

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Stanley!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

I wrote a piece about these blind, itinerant Japanese women shamisen players, here: blog.wfmu.org...

9:26am ndbob:

I remember you playing them before

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Pretty unforgettable.

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Just got worried when I saw that "Willie Mays" was trending on Twitter. Relieved to learn it's his 85th birthday and San Fran is naming a cable car after him.

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and fame followers.

I loves me a little weegher from somewhere near the Turfan Depression. No worries I will get over it.

🥁

9:36am doctorjazz:

No problems with the Pop Up sounds here.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

We: "Grrrrrr!"

9:44am Jeff "Gandy Dancin'" Golick:

I've just put another nickel in...keep it comin, Mr. DeeJay.

9:45am Matt F:

A South African Boogie Woogie version of "Hawaiian War Chant" sort of sums up what I love about this show.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

That nickel buys you another 29 years of Give the Drummer Some, Jeff "G.D." Golick.

We aim to please, Matt F!

🥁

9:47am doctorjazz:

This Thula Thula is the bees knees.

🥁

9:48am Artie Haywire:

Can't wait to hear the Tandoori Knights cover Mia Mia Bounce Jive. Hey, a man can dream!

🥁

9:49am listener james from westwood:

Person trending on Twitter = same worries as when an FMU DJ plays 3 cuts by the same artist out of nowhere. Although now a visit to the DJ's playlist can usu. quell such fears.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Just look out for the bees' elbows, doctorjazz.

Tandoori Haywire!

@LJFW
Too much dying going on.

9:53am annie:

sound is fine now, i just rebooted firefox..

9:53am Jeff Golick:

I'd like to put this set in my pocket and carry it around with me when I need a extra boost of good vibes, like a rosary.

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

Two fingers of red eye and don't go no where with that bottle.

9:55am glenn:

today, in coming signs of the apocalypse. - ca.ign.com...

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of good vibes.... it's glenn!

🥁

9:55am doctorjazz:

This is an absolute fabulous set, really loving it.

9:57am annie:

long ago, a premium for an upstate radio station was a cd named "Mbuki Mvuki", which puportedly translated to "take all your clothes off and dance"... it was one of those global compilation things.. all joy and dance music. i still have it, too..

9:57am glenn:

howdy. pittsburgh is also home of this year's stanley cup winner, i suspect.

9:58am Stanley:

Stanley's cup runneth over today

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Steamrolling my Caps. Again.

@annie
Mbuki Mvuki was an African music compilation produced by the label Original Music. A great one!

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

I think Tony Coulter (more likely Rob W.) once did a show playing some of the original songs imitated by David Byrne for Talking Heads tunes.

10:01am coelacanth:

good morning Doug and other drummers

10:01am glenn:

oh, and also great but unknown american painter john kane. www.moma.org...

10:01am annie:

i loved it.... many of the tunes were street recordings, too.

10:02am annie:

doug, was that a premium from you guys? i guess i've forgotten

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Not a premium, but a pre-produced CD.

10:05am Stanley:

I know a dog called Stanley. I wonder whether that was him?
Doug - that penny whistle sound, do you know what its called?

10:07am Stanley:

Should have read the playlist - Kwela.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

That's OK, Stanley. I am always happy to spell it out for you.

@annie
Here is that Mvuki Mbuki collection: www.allmusic.com...

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Was just listening to another Texier album from around the same time! His next, it seems: www.discogs.com... Very hard to classify this stuff. So why bother?

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Classify is a dirty word, Jeff Golick.

🥁

10:19am listener james from westwood:

Lovely lovely Roach/White Singers track, this!

10:22am Jeff Golick:

Who's the horn here?

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
I am rather proud of myself for not just playing "Where You There When They Rolled Away the Stone," from this LP, like I always do. Billy Harper's tenor sax on this track could cut steel.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

See above comment, Jeff Golick.

10:24am Jeff Golick:

Great great.

10:26am annie:

yup, doug, that's it; my favorite is the "stolen chicken", wonder whose pledge prize that was, rpi maybe; 1992!! soo long ago, my kid was 9 and i had just bought my house.

10:27am marcury:

Good day to all Drummer Somes!

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

Nice hanging with you, marcury!

10:32am Jeff Golick:

One of the lesser-known ESPs from that period, for sho.

🥁

10:41am Brian in UK:

ESP = Extra Special Pyjamas?

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Give the Drummer Some: Trying to make the lesser-known lesser lesser-known.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

I just love that mambo from Albert King!

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
This radio show wears zero pyjamas.

🥁

10:44am Brian in UK:

I know. Tee Hee.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

This radio show sleeps with its window shades up (as you obviously know).

10:46am Mr C:

Great Albert King Latin - If You Told It Like it was (It wouldn't Be Like It Is)" King Records I believe.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

U.R. the King, Mr C.

10:47am Jeff Golick:

"Trying to make the lesser-known lesser lesser-known." I am now embroidering this on a pillowcase.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Now "Sigmund Freud" is trending on Twitter. Either he just died, or San Francisco is naming a street car after him.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Any thoughts as to what "Off the Bo" is a euphemism for?

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Maybe buy a second pillow and embroider this:

"We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know."

10:56am Webhamster Henry:

The Street car will be named Freudy McFreudface.

10:57am ndbob:

excellent show so far Doug - been kind of distracted today

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

I love the Internets, Webhamster H.

@ndbob
That's okay. You are allowed to have your own life to live.

🥁

10:58am Brian in UK:

Doug, port or starboard Bo?

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

I bow, sternly, Brian in UK.

11:01am Dean:

Is "off" a verb or a preposition?

🥁

11:02am doctorjazz:

There's a little hint of the Bo Diddley Beat here, fun track.

11:02am Mr C:

I used to use the intro of Blue Monday as Blue Sunday radio promo...long ago

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

You're a rebel, Mr C.

11:04am Mr C:

Yeah, how 'bout that.

11:06am Mr C:

Meant to ask: Who were the Night Blooming Jazz guys?

11:06am jessie:

wow that last set was taking me back to South Side Chicago circa 1970s; thank goodness we're in a new country now!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Blue Mitchell, Willie Bobo, Joe Pass, Stix Hooper, etc.

@jessie
1970s South Side was a place you ran fast away from, my dear. But we can always visit aurally.

11:08am Jeff Golick:

@Doug, instead maybe I'll just play something from this on Sunday: www.discogs.com...

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

You gotta love Norway, Jeff Golick.

11:12am Mr C:

That's an impressive etc..

11:14am George from Bristol UK:

As a veteran muso approaching my 66th I particularly enjoyed La Veterana except it was too short; please repeat !

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, George from Bristol UL. Nice to see you!

11:16am Dean:

OMG, I am the DJ of love!

11:17am Dean:

Just think: when the Meridian Brothers break up, we'll refer to all of the splinter groups as post-Meridian Brothers.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
You are the OMGDJ of Love.

11:20am Carmichael:

Out of the car and into work. Heya Doug and DrumSum on this rainy Friday.

11:20am Mr C:

I just saw where Leny Adrade is performing in NYC at Birdland!
Next week...BossaBrazil 2016

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

All these fab new comps do not come pre-crackled.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Tony Bennett called her "the Ella Fitzgerald of Brazil."

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

Was that a euphemistic euphonium?

11:26am Jeff Golick:

Re those comps, I'm still trying to grok how the Soundway release from 1977 managed to include music from 1985. Pretty impressive.

11:26am Uncle Michael:

Hey gang, are you ready to celebrate the third anniversary of Hinky Dinky Time's debut on Give the Drummer Radio?

No?

Too bad. Top of the hour...

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:27am listener james from westwood:

UM: My party hat is on and my bunting is bunted!

🥁

11:28am Artie Haywire:

Is nothing easy any more?

11:28am Webhamster Henry:

Oh yeah , throat singing break!

11:28am Uncle Michael:

That's the spirit.

Hinky Dinky Time is registered at Nordstroms.

🥁

11:28am Brian in UK:

I think they are trying to facilitate this song by forming a committee and group working the lyrics into a flag raising situation.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Deefeecol' for joo...eeesee for me.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Dig it dig it dig it dig it, baby.

🥁

11:38am listener james from westwood:

Digging this one so hard I might hear Radio Beijing in a minute! (I'll record some Sublime Frequencies–style if I do.)

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Hitting the high spots today Mr DJ.

The gif is similar to the type of cartoons used on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Max Fleischer was a favourite option.

11:39am Lane Gray:

Good morning, Douglas!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, it's Lane Gray!

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

The powers that be saw sense with that silly boat name.
www.bbc.co.uk...

11:42am Lane Gray:

Wonder if we'll hear J. E. Mainer "diggin' taters

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
Our last track of the set even provides a shovel!

11:43am Little Danny:

Vote cast for Young-Holt Unlimited's "Dig Her Walk" Morning, Doug! I owe you an email.

11:45am Ham:

diggin' it.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Cool Little Blue Danny Flame!

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Hello Lane. Happy Friday.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Mmmmm, Ham. I got the hongries.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

When you Google "The Shades of Time," you get a sunglasses store in Palm Beach.

11:48am Dean:

The Beatles, a British band that flourished during the '60s, had a song called "Dig It."

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

This entire set was inspired by deejay Kris Holmes' posting of The Intentions' "Dig It" on Facebook the other day. Thank you, deejay Kris Holmes!

11:50am Uncle Michael:

'I Dig a Pygmy', by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids... Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats...

11:51am Stanley:

@Brian - No matter, Boaty McBoatface has entered the national consciousness

🥁

11:52am doctorjazz:

Been a fun show, what else is new. Have a great weekend.

11:52am Dean:

That is such nonsense, UM. Nobody would ever utter those words in that order.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Hinky Dinky Time is the spade and your brain is the rich, loamy soil. Let Uncle Michael dig into the deep depths of your fertile mindworld! His radio show is next: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

Charles Hawtrey, a strange cove.
www.aveleyman.com...

11:54am Mr C:

And finally a Pittsburgh salute to the Jaggerz, who help lay the Drummer's path..Can you dig it!

11:54am Dean:

...which reminds me of a game we'd play when we had time for game playing. Come up with a perfectly grammatical, meaningful, superficially ordinary sounding sentence that you would never expect to hear. E.g., "There goes my automobile," and "Look at his skin."

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you dug it, ndbob!

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

@Dean "Are those Orthopaedic shoes?" That sort of thing?

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

If can't tell the difference between a shovel and a spade, stay away from my garden.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

This hammer tastes funny.

11:58am Dean:

@Brian in UK: Yes, but "orthopaedic" is perhaps testing the limits of the ordinary.

@UM: Uh huh, there you are!

🥁

11:58am doctorjazz:

Does your baby always look like that?

11:58am Jeff Golick:

Martin Short might owe Charles Hawtrey royalties...

11:59am Dean:

Nice Sex Pistols allusion, @doctorjazz!

12:00pm Stanley:

Thanks Doug.

12:01pm Spaniel:

Thanks Doug, glad to be able to tune in for the last set at least today.

UM, if my son could speak (7 months old), that might actually be something he would say (replacing "hammer" with "book", "block", "basketball", etc.

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Fab show, Doug, and dug it as always!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Well that was some good, clean fun! You people are good people.
