9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Goyim in the AM! Goyim in the AM! Goyim in the AM!

🥁

9:09am Brian in UK:

@Goyim, what is the temp over your way; it was around 37C last year.

9:09am Alex In Illinois:

This must have been recorded when she was Louis Killen. Later, ze became Louisa Jo Killen

9:10am annie:

yeah, brian, it was the first leg of our Nick's Diner Tour, mashed up with a brithday thing in my old stompning grounds. we hit the road again in august

9:10am mauri:

sounds good. I bought some 60% vodka just to get the most of the hotness away from habaneros.
now I got a sauce to go with grilled chicken and beer.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Three years before she died, Louis/Louisa Jo underwent gender-reassignment surgery.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning Illinois Alex!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Allinois Ilex!

🥁

9:17am Brian in UK:

The Black Country in the West Midlands was so called because of the large scale manufacturing industry turned the air black.

9:18am M C:

Welcome home! Friday morning are back in the groove with the rhythm of the Saints!

9:19am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, M C! (Is that Mr C?) Glad to be back, oh so glad.

9:20am Mr C:

It is. I sold myself short once again.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Black air? Just like, so they tell me, Pittsburgh. Even into the early 1970s, office workers here had to bring a second shirt to change into midday, because the first was soot-soiled by noon.

🥁

9:24am Brian in UK:

Terry Earl Taylor sounds a bit like Mike Cooper.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

This Alasdair Roberts tune has a new unofficial subtitle: PLUG BREXIT UP THE BUM

@Brian in UK
The fine Mr. Cooper may just be listening. I exchanged good words with him yesterday regarding a Zimbabwean track that played on the stream.

9:27am Gary:

Welcome back, again, Doug!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, my dear Gary!

9:33am Paul Sherratt:

Great set. Alasdair Roberts is simply wonderful. Just sent a link to the show to his mum, Peggy.

9:34am annie:

there was a time when i knew all the Childe Ballads by name. in a life long ago

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Hello Paul, the sun always shines in North Staffs.

🥁

9:36am duke:

We're thrilled to have you back

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

THE. BLOKE. FROM. STOKE!

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@annie
Child's play!

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

@Gary, have a great trip over the water.

9:41am Paul Sherratt:

Brian, so much sun today that I managed to get the grass cut.

Doug, Hurley stayed with us, by accident ( aka Irish tour manager ) for four days and six hours, some years back. I still have this recurring nightmare ...

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

The last six hours are always the toughest, Paul!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Our next artist, Adam Carroll, is a Texan who I learned of from Paul Sherratt's late, great radio show.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Another beloved artist Paul turned me onto, Mary Gauthier (another artist who stayed at Sherratt Castle), is coming up later in this set.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Up next, is the stunning Iris DeMent, whose voice makes Paul's dog... irritable.

9:50am Paul Sherratt:

Doug, someone from Texas, I don't know who, sent me the Adam Carroll in a small parcel which included a couple of Caroline Herring albums. The kindness of strangers... Peggy Roberts has just sent a note crediting his dad with the artist that's emerged for the lucky few who know him.

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

I wrote to Iris a while ago to see if see was coming to these shores. Never got a reply. Aw shucks.

9:51am annie:

i saw mary gauthier just before she went viral. she sure could belt them out

🥁

9:52am listener james from westwood:

I want Henson's protagonist to meet up with Bobbie Gentry's Fancy and for both of them to have a fabulous life together.

9:52am annie:

strange to say i was very upset when i heard iris had married greg brown, i flet she had been stolen from us

🥁

9:53am Brian in UK:

Each time I have seen Mary, I think to myself why am I here again. After about ten minutes I ponder how could I not be here.

🥁

9:53am listener james from westwood:

GTDS was my gateway to Gauthier and I am endlessly glad for it.

🥁

9:53am listener james from westwood:

Want to say the same's true for Gillian Welch.

9:54am annie:

oh krickey i was ruined for gillian when i worked for a woman who played nothing BUT GW and Townes van zandt... talk about LOOONG working days

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Paul
Yeah, you turned me onto Caroline Herring, too. Hey, tell Peggy Roberts she shouldn't settle for anything less than 51% credit.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

@listener james from westwood
Gillian almost made the cut for this set!

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

As Mary would say, "Gauthier rhymes with gateway, y'all!"

9:56am annie:

i've always hoped iris would make an album with her mom.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

@annie
Iris' mom does sing on one track on one of her albums.

9:59am Paul Sherratt:

Doug, Peggy is one of the 48.1%. Well no, where she lives, Scotland, one of the 62%

10:00am annie:

which is why i want more.. that tune is beautiful. and every time i play it, i'm told to turn that screaming off.. go figure

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

If only it had been called the Bremain referendum. Messaging is everything.

10:01am Michael:

I mentioned this years ago when Gauthier was played on Doug’s show – but I did have the pleasure of eating in Dixie Kitchen back when it was open on Mass Ave and Mary was still in the kitchen.

And morning Doug and fellow drum peeps.

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

This Lucinda is an extra track?

🥁

10:04am Brian in UK:

That is to say, not on the original. There told you.

10:05am annie:

we love you doug, breathe through this

10:05am mauri:

hehe doug. these songs call for a cold one.

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Michael
I am enjoying your past repast vicariously. Welcome aboard! Mary called one of her LPs Dixie Kitchen.

Apologies for that shocking turn of evens, friends. I was already weeping at the song. Now and I am scarlet with shame.

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

mauri, chink. Bluddy mary any one?

10:06am Gary:

Well, I was loving this song, so it's nice to hear it from the beginning again ...

10:07am annie:

these echoing back-ups remind me of kate wolf

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Normally, I just let things be, but you can be sure I am going to edit out that horrible occurrence from the show archive. Please, everyone, forget that happened.

🥁

10:07am Brian in UK:

This is my favourite period Lucinda, so much compassion.

10:10am annie:

i never really listened to lucinda, really listened, until "World Without Tears", and was just blown away by her open-hearted singing, gut-wrneching reality

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

OK, I've had a turn of mind. Now I won't edit that glitch out of the archive. It would be like me playing God or something. That makes me uncomfortable.

🥁

10:15am Artie Haywire:

Good morning, Doug, Drummers!
It was 'Six Blocks Away' that first took me down. Highly relevant at moment of first listening. Oof.

10:16am Uncle Michael:

I was out listening in the yard...are you telling me you put a round thing on a machine and it produced music?! Are you some sort of *wizard*? Are you Michael Cumella? Is this some sort of historic re-creation? Are we in Colonial Williamsburg? Is this the Bronze Age??

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Artie Haywire!!

He sleeps all alone on Second Street
With a roof over his head and food to eat
But he can hardly make it day to day 'cause
Everything he wants is six blocks away, six blocks away

He's got a regular job and it pays the rent
In a donut shop on third and tenth
But he doesn't understand why she turned him away
He can hear her heart beat six blocks away, six blocks away

Six blocks away dirty old street
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away dirty old street
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat, six blocks away

He walks real fast down the dirty street
He turns his eyes from the people he meets
It hurts so bad what can he say
He sends her a message six blocks away, six blocks away

Six blocks away dirty old street
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away dirty old street
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat, six blocks away

Six blocks away
Six blocks away

🥁

10:16am Artie Haywire:

@Doug - Wear the mantle lightly, happily; for you are the God of your own archive. And rightly so.

10:17am Mickey Mantle:

Someone ask for me?

10:17am annie:

what s that tune doug? who wrote that?

🥁

10:18am Brian in UK:

I was just humming Six Blocks. He is the son of God. The Life of Doug.

🥁

10:18am Artie Haywire:

@annie - that's Lucinda

10:18am Lore:

It's been way too long since I've spun this Ra & Dickerson LP. Thanks for doing the honors, Doug.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

The honor is mine, Lore.

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

annie album is Sweet Old World. Recommended.

10:19am annie:

i thought so, thanks

🥁

10:21am Brian in UK:

Gurf Morlix is a vital part of Lucinda's work at this time as player and producer/arranger.

10:22am Paul Sherratt:

>> by her open-hearted singing, gut-wrneching reality. We were saying something similar the other day, annie, and that was just by hearing her helping out for a few songs on Terry Allen's marvellous ' Human Remains ' album

🥁

10:22am listener james from westwood:

Sun Ra's generally good editing music, but this collab is especially effective.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

"He Never Got Enough Love" from Sweet Old World makes me hurt.

@Brian in UK
I respect an artist's decision to change course and evolve, but I have always felt Lucinda's best work was done with Gurf onboard.

10:24am annie:

i saw her here in asheville last year. bittersweet show..i was dating someone who easily have been one of her subjects, he was so wretchd and lonely, i loved him with all my heart.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@listener james
Good editing music. Is that music that music that distracts or doesn't? I have always had a hellish time writing to music, because my mind makes my ears listen. Maybe editing is different?

10:30am annie:

good editing music for me is jazz or heavy math-type stuff life brubeck

🥁

10:30am duke:

Wm. Parker and Hamid Drake - rhythm section made in heaven

10:30am coelacanth:

good morning Doug and drummers and other Lovers
...Welcome back!

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth
Thanks! Great to be back!

@duke
With Parker and Drake, they are almost a front line with the horns in support. Astounding.

10:33am still b/p:

I get pouty if I have to turn a good FMU show off when I'm editing video and have to be attentive to its audio.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, still b/pouty!

10:36am coelacanth:

first communion + piecing the veil is a pretty amazing document, as well as excellent music. for those who aren't familiar, it's the recording of when Hamid & William first met.

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Preach, coelacanth.

10:44am annie:

stepping into the kitchen to throw breakfast in a pan..

🥁

10:47am listener james from westwood:

Aaaahhh, that is horrible to hear, Doug.

10:51am Mr C:

There we go. More dip in your hip. More glide your stride.

🥁

10:51am Artie Haywire:

@Doug - Hate it! If you have a way to generate a list of the missing, I'd bet we could wrangle up a good few.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@listener james
Yeah. I am devastated. But, like the Six Million Dollar Man, we will have to rebuild him. The Six Million Dollar Sheep.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Artie H
I will do exactly that. I will compile a list of the missing and send it around. Thanks for suggesting and, ha! offering!

10:53am coelacanth:

Yes - what Artie said. between us we may be able to get you at least 1/2 way there.

10:54am Little Danny:

G'morning all. And agreed re: sheep. I feel yer pain.

10:55am still b/p:

Need all them wandering hypnotiiiiiiized Pokeman searchers to play a more helpful and worthy search/acquisition game on your behalf.

10:55am Goyim in the AM:

@Brian -- sorry, was called away. 20C and a thunderstorm brewing.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Your arrival is a pleasure, Little Danny!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

It will take me months to compile a list of the missing sheep. I will get baaaah-ck to you.

🥁

10:57am Artie Haywire:

@stillbp - Yes! A "Ghosts of Megaupload - Go" app, inspiring a legion of little deerstalker capped sleuthy youth.

11:10am Ramblin' Ray:

Greetings all! Missing sheep likely to show up as empty folders under iTunesMedia/Music/Artist/Album. If so, may be possible to use a search or script to compile a list of said critters.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

I loved Sleuthy Youth. Their early records. Before the sold out.

11:12am still b/p:

Haaaaang on, Sleuthy,
Sleuthy hang on..
I called it Pokeman instead of Pokémon, so by Monday those same youth will be hauling my beyond-it bones up to a rocky ledge as a picnic for crows. (Ice floe harder to scout in present and generally shifting conditions.)

11:13am Alex In Illinois:

I think that is the store where I bought that Moussa Doumbia record in 1987 or 1988.

11:19am Jeff Golick:

Is there an echo in here?

11:19am Jeff Golick:

...and Give the Drummer Some returned to Friday mornings, and the earth spun on its axis, and all was right in the world again.

11:19am sinner:

I can't tell you how many records I bought at the Record Mart back in the early 1990s. Once one of the fellows looked at me and said, "Yes. You always buy the "typical" styles." From then on whenever I shopped there I would be greeted, "Hey, Tipico!"

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Ramblin' Ray! As far as scripts go, I even forgot how to write in script.

@Alex in Illinois
Moussa Doumbia is my all-time fave Afrofunketeer.

@Jeff Golick
The man who sent me sheep!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey hey, it's Sinner! Welcome, brother!

11:27am sinner:

Angolan rebita is just killer.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@sinner
Oh my yes it is. Do you have the Soul of Angola comp? One of my all-time favorites.

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Would you consider Hinky Dinky Time as a listening choice at the top of the hour? Thanks.

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am Dean:

I've missed most of a damn fine show, including the Dickerson/Sun Ra "Visions" track!

My record store story: I used to treat myself to Pasadena's Poo-Bah Records in its old location on Walnut Street on occasional weekends. Once when I arrived the familiar clerk at the register looked up and announced, "Here comes the guy who pays my salary." At the time I was single and sans kids. I don't expect I'll ever hear a similar remark. (Speaking of being single, today's my and wifey-poo's 16th angryversary! And speaking of record stores, we're heading tomorrow to Chicago. Jazz Record Mart, here I come!)

11:34am Uncle Michael:

Happy anniversary Dean & SO.

11:36am still b/p:

I can only have 90 minutes of HDT today, but I...willl...HAVE IT!

Anniversary 16 is traditionally the vinyl anniversary, yes?

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Anniversary, Dean! And thanks for inspiring the spinning of the Sun Ra/Walt Dickerson. Sorry you missed it.

11:38am Dean:

Thank you, UM and Doug.

Great photo of Phil Campbell at Montreal Int'l Jazz Festival: http://jazztimes.com/images/content/articles/0019/0001/The_20Campbell_20Brothers_C2_A9FrederiqueMenardAubin-2-3.jpg

11:40am Dean:

Every anniversary is the vinyl anniversary!

11:44am Jeff Golick:

Amen, @Dean.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Amen @Jeff Golick

🥁

11:48am Brian in UK:

@Dean where were you? It's the naughty turntable for you.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael is up next with Hinky Dinky Time! It's a radio show that will tear you up inside. That's "tear" boo-hoo, not "tear" rip-to-shreds, silly!

Here's is the Hinky Dinky Playlistinky: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

So this is how the show ends. Thought it was a twelve hour show to catch up. Just kidding, nine hours would do.

11:51am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:52am mauri:

what a show. dying mp3s and broken backups. all that drama.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
What I wouldn't give to do this for another 9 hours. Unfortunately, I gotta dash to work right after the show.

@mauri
Just no broken backs, please. That would be a whole other order of drama.

11:54am Dean:

@Brian in UK: On the West Coast, alas.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, have I used this playlist GIF before? I found it in my unused GIFs folder, but I could swear I used it before. Good enough to use twice. Obviously.

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Dean Congrats on your anniversary, have a good trip.

Doug, well I liked the show. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

11:59am Dean:

Thanks, Brian.

Seems to me, Doug, you have used a GIF of somebody pounding a big bass drum, but maybe not this one?

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug and welcome back!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Moi? Pounding a big bass drum?!

12:00pm Mike East:

pretty sure I've seen you use that gif before. Been lurking all morning.
good show, Doug!

🥁

12:01pm duke:

Thanks Mr. Doug

12:01pm coelacanth:

Doug's playlist page, last i knew, had Enrico Caruso beating a drum.

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

GTDS is an answer song to a hard week. I am always happy to have it. Thanks!

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi, Mike (b)East!

@coelacanth
Glad you noticed Enrico!

Here's to an easy week, Listener James!

THANKS, everyone!

12:03pm coelacanth:

oh that's not true about Caruso....that was quite a while ago!
...Thanks Doug!

12:03pm Jeff Golick:
