Blue skies over the isthmus this morning. Rain on the way. In the cockpit, cans on.

9:06am Goyim in the AM:

Hey, wanna thank the East coast of the US for sending over the rain currently falling in Germany this otherwise fine afternoon.

9:09am annie:

βrian: there used to be classic schoolroom jokes, teachers asking straight questions and students offering snappy retorts; the little rascals shows had them ,too.

Teacher: Tommy can you use isthmus in a sentence?
Tommy: Isthmus be mah lucky day!

9:11am ndbob:

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

@redkayak
Here's a pail, start bailing!

9:17am ausmanx:

good plan, doug, i'll try it. but they are deaf to most things already...

9:18am Lore:

This RPW split LP took me forever to find. I love all his music, but this one is particularly strong, I think.

🥁

9:18am βrian:

I was watching a video in (Castilian) Spanish the other day, and it seemed as if every other word was "isthmus."

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

So glad you're hearing this, Lore. I was thinking of you as I reached for this LP.

9:20am Lore:

I'm glad I'm hearing it too! Thanks Doug.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
You mean Cathstillian?

🥁

9:22am βrian:

Thaths it, Doug!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Hezekiah Early: www.arts.state.ms.us...

🥁

9:24am doctorjazz:

Trombone/harmonica blues, don't hear that too often, cool.

9:24am ndbob:

excellent set Doug!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Webhamster Henry!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

And good afternoon, mauri!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Some British blokes did a cover of this Rev. Robert Wilkins tune. Remember it?!

@doctorjazz
Yes, very unusual instrumentation.

9:28am Alex In Illinois:

@Ausmanx: I recall the Dilbert Principal from the 1990's, that promoting people to management is the way to lift the less productive people out of the way of the workflow.

9:28am Lore:

Doug, you may want to check this recent video of Mr. Early on homemade guitar: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.konkel/posts/10153996698487696

🥁

9:29am Artie Haywire:

Just getting along

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Alex in Ill!

@Lore
Thank you, Sir. "Recent video of Mr. Early," is now my favorite five-word phrase in the English language.

Can't ask for any more than that, Artie Haywire!

🥁

9:33am βrian:

What about "Mr Early rising"?

🥁

9:39am listener james from westwood:

In from the git-go, but busy as a rented mule, so a belated hey-howdy to all!!

🥁

9:40am Artie Haywire:

Robert Wilkins son, Reverend John Wilkins, has recordings worth seeking out. Well after today's shows, see him here: vimeo.com...

9:45am ndbob:

The Rev Wilkins recording was originally made in the 1920s - and rerecorded after his "rediscovery" www.youtube.com...

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Glad to know you're onboard, listener mule from westwood!

Thanks for the tip, ndbob!

9:47am Mr C:

Are you ready for the microphone manipulations and soulful gyrations of a young man, you better hold on to what you got, ladies and gentlemen: DOUG SCHULKIND!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Are you ready for the microphone manipulations and soulful gyrations Henny Youngman?!

9:52am Jeff Golick:

Baby, take some of this bagel, please.

🥁

9:52am doctorjazz:

Classy and passionate, this Fantasia.

9:52am annie:

hhhmmm, bagel....

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Nicolás Enrich on bandoneon here.

@Jeff Golick
When will you end this schmear campaign?

9:57am Stanley:

Yo!

🥁

9:57am Brian in UK:

YO HO.

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

And a bottle of rum, for Stanley and Brian in UK!

🥁

9:58am Brian in UK:

Stanley loves a good shanty or was that shandy.

10:00am Stanley:

I prefer a bottle of rum.

🥁

10:01am βrian:

@BUK: How tall are your peas today?

10:01am Jeff Golick:

There was nothing típico about that piece.

🥁

10:02am Brian in UK:

@βrian That is a very personal question.

10:03am Flash Strap:

good morning ladies and gents

🥁

10:05am Brian in UK:

Desparately in need of split pins for broken gear change on avatar.
Seriously, still digging the ground....and the music ofcourse.

10:05am Stanley:

@Brian and βrian - that's exactly what I thought.
(echoes of a certain comedy sketch set in a lifeboat?)

🥁

10:05am βrian:

Ach, it's my bohemian upbringing. Ours are well over a foot and have finally found their way to the trellis. Happy clamberers.

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning to you, Mr. Tropical Fever!

10:07am Uncle Michael:

Is that bear davening?

10:09am Jeff Golick:

I think an (unseen) keeper just asked him, "Would you like to eat those children?"

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

No, but the bear is named Dave, Uncle Michael

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

I'm all behind this year, does it show.

10:10am Stanley:

@Brian - are parts for a Kohler K141 engine easy to come by?

🥁

10:10am listener james from westwood:

@UM: Has he got a minyan outside the glass there?

10:12am Uncle Michael:

glass? that's the sneeze guard on the buffet.

🥁

10:12am Brian in UK:

@Stanley, was it Julian Clary who said that he liked a warm hand on his entrance. OOOOOH.

Stanley, it was made in Wis, US. So not really, word of mouth you know how it is but like lots of older American goods, built to last.

10:13am Uncle Michael:

We have a Kohler engine in our mower.

10:13am Stanley:

Oooh matron

10:14am ndbob:

Not quite bar mitzvah age James :)

🥁

10:15am Brian in UK:

Uncle, are Kohlers still in production?

🥁

10:16am Brian in UK:

Love this set, Doug. What's new.

10:16am Little Danny:

Got to the office just in time to hear the end of Thelma Soares. Lurvely. Lookin' forward to this.

🥁

10:16am βrian:

I think they are, but made in China. Some of the bathroom fixtures are still made here.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Stop drumming on your desktop, Little Danny. You've gotta pretend you're working!

10:18am Mr C:

Smashing set!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Alternate title for GTDS: Doug's Room? NOPE! That title is taken!

More info on Mauricio Smith: www.descarga.com...

10:21am Mr C:

Are Thelma and Elza related?

🥁

10:21am βrian:

Troy-Built used to produce good tillers. I expect the've gone south, too.

10:21am Little Danny:

Man I want this Mauricio Smith album.

10:22am Jeff Golick:

Great combo, but all the same I wouldn't want Nova on my flautas.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Don't think so, Mr C. Are you related to Vitamin C?

10:23am Uncle Michael:

I think my Troy-Bilt ha a Kohler as well. Our Craftsman garden tractor has a Brigg & Stratton.

Kohler is still making engines.

10:24am Mr C:

She's so over...

10:25am coelacanth:

hello Doug and Drummers

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning coelacanth! Good morning Briggs! Good morning Stratton!

10:29am coelacanth:

Briggs and Stratton are here? oh,yeah -while Kohler's actually working!

10:39am Goyim in the AM:

Alternate title for GTDS: Lawnmower Talk

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Just wait till Leaf Blower Guy gets here, Goyim!

10:40am ndbob:

I had a couple Vitamin C CDs

10:41am Goyim in the AM:

WOO HOO!! LAWN EQUIPMENT MADNESS ON A FRIDAY!!!

10:43am coelacanth:

hahaha!

🥁

10:44am doctorjazz:

Carla Bley, huh? Don't hear this side of her often (early stuff). Like her new album.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Vitamin C x Vitamin D = Vitamin²(CD)

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

At Bley in the fields of the Lord.

10:48am coelacanth:

seriously though, this lawnmower is a rip-off. i could barely even tell my lawn was cut, and the bubbles get annoying.
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...

10:48am ndbob:

Indeed Doug:)

10:50am mauri:

wheres the bubbleblower guy?!

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

He's forever blowing bubbles, mauri.

10:50am Uncle Michael:

I'm forever blowing bubbles.

10:51am Uncle Michael:

dammit

🥁

10:51am βrian:

@mauri: Why, in the bathtub, of course.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

You lose one little double-header and you're off your game, Uncle Michael.

10:53am Dean:

Smithsonian Folkways acquired the Arhoolie catalog, y'all.

10:54am Uncle Michael:

Cubs/Pirates first pitch 2:20 ET.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

I think the Cubs are going to win 4 out of the 3 games.

10:55am Uncle Michael:

Cutch never should have cut his hair.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Dean! I applaud Chris Strachwitz's sale to Smithsonian/Folkways. If it's good enough for Mo Asch...

10:57am Jeff Golick:

Don't know this New Jazz Orchestra. Who they?

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
You know them, you just don't KNOW them.

Here: www.discogs.com...

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Thanks, Doug. "Directed By – Neil Ardley"
I actually think I might own ("own") a digital copy of that record.

11:01am Jeff Golick:

Always loved the Arhoolie logo. Hope they keep it as is.

11:01am Dean:

Oh, yeah, it's the jazzy arrangement of that Bow Wow Wow record.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Yeah, and Jake Arrieta should never have "left" Baltimore.

Somehow, about 20 years ago, I got on the Arhoolie "media" list and have been getting promo copies of everything ever since.

Thank you Jesus and Santa!

11:05am Uncle Michael:

They're not the same guy?

11:07am Dean:

Nope: http://shirtigo.co/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/jesussantaselfie.jpg

11:07am mauri:

I think jesus is the one who shrugs all the time and santa is the one who laughs entering.

11:07am Jeff Golick:

Hail Santa!

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

Well I done just eated a packet of Emanems. First time in years.

11:08am Carmichael:

From the car to the desk. Happy Friday, Doug and drumsums.

11:10am mauri:

well done brian in uk! yesterday I ate a big bag of crisps after running whilst watching ripping yarns. I feel like I only just recovered.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Heil Santa! -- wait, what?

11:11am Jeff Golick:

That dejeuner sur l'herbe references this Manet painting: www.musee-orsay.fr... (as does its cover). Oft-referenced as a visual cue.

🥁

11:11am listener james from westwood:

Well, Santa has reigned for a thousand years. Two thousand, even.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
You mean your car doesn't have a desk in it? How strange.

🥁

11:12am Brian in UK:

Naked woman and fully dressed men. Happens all the time don't yer know.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Santa, the reignmaker.

11:14am joe:

'ello folks

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Say it IS so, Joe!

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

@Jeff if you get to gay Paree it is a wonderful museum situated in a former railway station.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

I've been to that musée!

11:17am Dean:

One of the things I like best about Manet is how, en Anglais, his name sounds in the possessive declension: mayonnaise paintings.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

It's one for the Manet, two for the show, three to get ready and go, Van Gough.

Thank you, you've been great. We're here all week.

11:19am coelacanth:

so, now we're talkin' riding mowers?

🥁

11:19am Brian in UK:

This is one of my favourites. Though, Camille Pissarro is my man.
www.artble.com...

11:19am Dean:

I went to Musée d'Orsay the year after it opened.

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

Van Gogh is a little ray of sunshine.

11:21am Dean:

How great would that be if there were a stand-up comedian whose entire schtick revolved around early 20th century European painters?

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I was there in 1986. When did it open? Right around then. It sure looked new.

11:23am Dean:

It opened in '86. I was there in '87, having worked a bit at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, before heading to the continent to play.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

Favourite Tommy Roe song 'Schiele'.

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

@Dean did you ever get to the Courtauld in London?

11:27am Mr C:

Finakly getting that Karl Blau record. Took over a year!

11:28am Jeff Golick:

Went to d'Orsay in the mid-1990s. It was overwhelming. I kinda OD'd on musées on that trip. The l'Orangerie was my fave, largely because it's small. But also for the Modiglianis.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Good things come to those who wait?

11:29am Dean:

Dang, no, Brian. Would love to have visited. Also, I'd love to have seen the Warburg library.

11:29am Mr C:

Travis Wammack still plays bars in Alabama..

11:29am Jeff Golick:

Ready for the World has a great song about "Shiele."

11:30am lucyinbrooklyn:

ooh -- just made it for some doug time! Good morning to you.

11:30am geezerette:

Musee d'Orsay is one of the most beautiful museums I've ever been to. You guys are incredible,great music AND art talk! What other radio station has that combination?

11:30am Dean:

A tip for visitors to Southern California: see the Norton Simon Museum. Good size, amazing collection.

11:30am joe:

It's so It's so

11:32am geezerette:

Dean you have such good taste. Just have to say that.

11:32am Dean:

I was thinking this a.m. about the poop show.

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Dean I had a road to Damascus there with Monet's Antibes. There were skylights all round the gallery room and as I sat and looked at it the sun came out. The painting came alive. Words are a poor substitute. It is such a bold painting you have to see it to appreciate Monet's skill.
www.wikiart.org...

11:33am Dean:

Thanks, geezerette! And then I go and spoil the compliment with a comment about poop!

11:33am geezerette:

...and bad taste...

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Hooray, it's geezerette!

🥁

11:34am βrian:

You can see the entire universe in a coprolite if you look closely.

11:35am Dean:

Blame Doug.

It has been awhile since I've spent quality time with Monet et al.

11:35am Mr C:

Paulette Parker, member of the Bobby Bland Revue..

11:35am coelacanth:

Brian that's Fantastic!

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

Dean that link is shite, sorry. The eyes do not lie.

11:35am geezerette:

Exactly! You don't forget an experience like that

11:36am geezerette:

Yippy, it's Doug!

11:37am Uncle Michael:

Lest ye forget; at the top of the hour...

wfmu.org...

Join me.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C: The one with the 411.

11:37am coelacanth:

...i meant Brian in UK @11:32; but Brian, that also may be!

11:37am lucyinbrooklyn:

lovingthis...

🥁

11:37am Brian in UK:

Doug got to catch the shops etc. How do you do that thing. Might start crying with all this soul.
Great weekend everyone.

11:38am Listener Gregory:

Maybe this should be your closing theme!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

It's not goodbye, Listener Gregory, it's hasta la vista.

11:41am geezerette:

Meant to say Brian in the U.K. is right about his Monet experience. The collection and the light in that museum are spectacular.

Helene Smith, wow!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

That makes me happy, lucyinbrooklyn!

11:42am jessie:

this song is almost enough to make me break out of grading jail.

11:44am lucyinbrooklyn:

happy...

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

I'll bake a file in a cake, jessie.

11:47am coelacanth:

if you don't have time, duncan hines makes a mix with a file already in it. 'tasty too!
takes only 20 minutes.

...at your grocers today.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael has the power to make you happy—and he'll use it for good, not evil (mostly). Stay happy and stay tuned for Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time, up next here on the Drummer Stream.

Playlist: wfmu.org...

11:48am Dean:

I remember visiting the National Gallery in '84 and walking into the room where this and its companion hang: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/robert-campin-a-woman I knew the painting from books. Or so I thought. Seeing the actual paintings filled me with joy.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

This is great comments string in the history of comments strings: From power mowers to French impressionists. God dang, I love you people.

11:50am Listener Gregory:

I like the album title: Losers Weepers.

11:51am Dean:

La Tondeuse sur l'Herbe

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Parfait!

11:53am Listener Gregory:

The songs tell a story: Anything for a Laugh, You Got the Power to Make Me Happy, I am Controlled by Your Love, Should I Let Him Go?, I Can't Hear You No More, Ease Away a Little Bit at a Time, I'll Be Gone.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some, where the songs tell a story. He typed, unashamedly.

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug! See you all shortly.

11:58am coelacanth:

i must know at least as much as most people about paintings and painting, but not too many names and not much history....i know i like Monet and Van Gogh...

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Storytelling titles are always welcome. Thanks for the stories and tunes as always!

11:58am geezerette:

Yes, this is quite a group Doug!
Always astonished by the range and imagination.
