6:09pm ndbob:

ruben reeves is really good

6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

There is bedlam in my house because I had to take back the laptop I use in my home studio. It has been deployed in 24-hour-Olympics-watching mode in our house.

@ndbob
Yes! A recent revelation for me. I am really knocked out by Reeves.

6:12pm geezerette:

:D !

6:14pm ndbob:

I had the "Jazz Historical" CD

6:14pm geezerette:

smoothe!

🥁

6:14pm listener james from westwood:

I think Leslie Jones of SNL and "Ghostbusters" had like four electronic devices going for her 24/7 Olympics absorption.

6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

I've always loved the name of the bass player on this cut:

Leroy Vinnegar

6:16pm Uncle Michael:

Gimme some.

6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Ornette and Don Cherry playing here! And it's not their band!

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Hunka hunka burnin' Unka!

6:18pm Uncle Michael:

Lord a'mighty!

6:23pm Uncle Michael:

I've been to the Hillcrest Club.

6:24pm Dean:

I've driven past the Hillcrest Club.

6:25pm Uncle Michael:

Assuming the Hillcrest Club is the Hillcrest Country Club...I know of no other.

6:26pm Dean:

'tis.

6:28pm Uncle Michael:

I was there for a brunch prior to a bus charter to Pasadena for a football game. I asked a staff member where the bathroom was, assuming guests had a bathroom they were segregated to...nope. I was directed to the member's locker room where all I could think of is "Milton Berle used this toilet...Groucho Marx used this toilet..." I was in awe.

6:30pm Uncle Michael:

Doug, you will leave quite a void on Tuessdays. Good luck with barber college.

6:31pm Dean:

If I ever have a chance to go there, I'll make sure I use the toilet. "Uncle Michael used this toilet!"

I once used a urinal adjacent to William Parker's at a church basement at Vision Festival.

6:32pm Uncle Michael:

Second on the left, Dean.

6:33pm Doug Schulkind:

From Wikipedia:

The real Naomi[edit]
In 2003, Eleanor R. Long-Wilgus wrote Naomi Wise, Creation, Re-Creation and Continuity in an American Ballad Tradition.[2] Her book dissects folk music in general and the "Omie Wise" ballad in particular. She explains four types of singer/songwriters as: Perserverators, Confabulators, Rationalizers and Integrators.

Within the book she included a long narrative poem entitled "A true account of Nayomy Wise"[3] written by a young girl, Mary Woody, born in 1801 in North Carolina. The handwritten poem was found in a commonplace book that had been donated by Mrs. Thomas B. Williamson in 1952 to the UCLA Research Library. To understand the poem Wilgus studied the law, traditions and history of the early 19th century in North Carolina. Her research led to several important facts that reveal the fallacy of the original story and folk song:

Naomi Wise was quite a few years older than Jonathan.
At the time of her death, Naomi already had two children out of wedlock, Henry age 4, and Nancy age 9.
Mothers of illegitimate children had no expectation of marriage. They would, however, connivingly agree to name another man responsible for a pregnancy in court as required by the laws governing bastardy bonds. A gift of money and/or other "fine things" (as promised by John Lewis according to the song) was expected.

6:34pm geezerette:

Congratulations Doug!
Tuesdays will be less joyful but good to know you'll be back.

Um, certainly more intimate than stars on walk of fame!

6:34pm Doug Schulkind:

Give the Barber Some. We cut heads.

6:35pm Uncle Michael:

Good luck at the head cutting contest!

6:37pm Doug Schulkind:

I've been demolishing your ears. Now I'll just be aiming higher.

6:38pm Uncle Michael:

Just a little off the top.

6:39pm Dean:

That's terrific, Doug. It occurred to me yesterday that my son might pursue a similar career trajectory. Yesterday he spent minutes lovingly applying gel to and combing his sister's hair.

When you get your own barber's station, make you sure you play Sondheim in the background.

6:40pm Uncle Michael:

Mr. Schulkind's Tonsorial Parlor. Teeth pulled.

6:41pm Doug Schulkind:

I am not actually going to barber school, despite what Uncle Michael says. I will be attending the U of Pittsburgh's school of social work.

6:41pm Doug Schulkind:

Because why not go another 40k into debt?!

6:41pm Uncle Michael:

But that's not *funny*.

6:42pm Uncle Michael:

Doug's been my social worker for going on four years.

6:42pm geezerette:

Doug, its the American way!

6:44pm Dean:

Not funny? Oh, yeah?!

What is the difference between God and a social worker?
God doesn't pretend to be a social worker.

- or -

A social worker is facing a mugger with a gun. "Your money or your life!" says the mugger.

"I'm sorry," the social worker answers, "I am a social worker, so I have no money and no life."

(Call me gullible, by the way. I do think hair styling would be a cool career. I mean, you know, Warren Beatty.)

6:46pm geezerette:

Dean, that's such a good movie.

6:48pm Dean:

Come to think of it, geezerette, I think my mom took me to "Shampoo" when it came out. It was rated R and I was not yet 17. Elsewhere on these comment boards recently I mentioned being taken to "Blazing Saddles," too, but I'd forgotten until now "Shampoo."

6:50pm geezerette:

Such a good LA movie. Also great to see that version of the city because it's unrecognizable now, like most cities.

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Shampoo on you, Dean!

6:51pm geezerette:

like most everything!

6:53pm Dean:

Anyway, Doug, a professional/academic career aim is terrific, too.

6:54pm Doug Schulkind:

I first read "Amway" in your comment, Dean. That would be a very different career change.

6:54pm geezerette:

Shampoo & Carwash, double bill...

6:55pm ndbob:

a Fangette Engel/Willett song here

6:56pm Dean:

For that you'd need to be matriculate at the Ponzi School of Multi-Level Marketing.

6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Engel or Enzel, ndbob?

6:57pm ndbob:

Enzel - I know her son actually

6:57pm ndbob:

so I think of her as Willett

6:58pm Artie Haywire:

Raising a glass to Restoration!

6:58pm Doug Schulkind:

Artie Howareyouwire!

6:58pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug! and congrats on your new career

🥁

7:00pm listener james from westwood:

7:00pm geezerette:

Thanks Doug!
