Good morning Mr Blues! Help me out Drummer. You got it!

🥁

9:18am Brian in UK:

You can imagine in the stable, thirty odd years earlier. "He's got the milkman's nose, I swear".

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I will play a selection from Awopbopaloobopawopbamboom (OST) next.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Good early morning, Mr C!

🥁

9:20am Brian in UK:

Oh Doug (Our Special Tune)

9:21am melinda:

Hi all

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Doug, Bansuri Lahiri. Any relation to Bappi Lahiri?

9:23am Webhamster Henry:

Hi folks! monsoon music?

🥁

9:23am Brian in UK:

Hello melinda

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Bansuri is Bappi's MOTHER!

Grab an oar or a bucket, Webhamster H!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, melinda!

9:25am melinda:

I smell rain

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

It's deluging here in Pittsburgh, mel.

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

We had rain ten minutes ago, now sunshine. The washing has had three rinses so far today.

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

If God starts shpritzing shampoo and conditioner, Brian, take it as a sign.

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

This sounds rather high pitcher for the ubiquitous one

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

Hold the pitcher (for now) and make it pitched.

9:36am holland oats:

Drumma! Sinners!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

hollah! oats!

🥁

9:36am Sam Segal:

Howdy Doug and drummer company!

9:38am Mr C:

9:38am Uncle Michael:

I'm queuing up at the public library where allegedly they will have eclipse glasses. They open in about 20 minutes.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
This track is included on the compilation Good God! Apocryphal Hymns: www.discogs.com...

🥁

9:39am Artie:

I confess, I'm glad to be here with y'all this morning!

9:39am Mr C:

Otherwordly man!

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Don't hold back, Artie!

🥁

9:41am duke:

Jesus is back, and this time it's personal.

9:41am Mark Williams:

it's hard to do a bad version of "Sinner Man." please, nobody prove me wrong...

9:42am Webhamster Henry:

Still, listening in the kitchen, I thought I heard a cover of Basketball Jones.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Jesus is #1, duke. And he wants you to know.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

An incontrovertible statement, Mark Williams.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Never listen to GTDR when hungry, Webhamster Henry. Or, only listen when hungry — I forget which.

🥁

9:47am Artie:

Pharisees – on your knees! Sadduceess too, if you please!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Whoa, I had to Google "Sadducee." Thanks for the 411, Artie.

🥁

9:50am Brian in UK:

Stuff the religion but keep the music.

🥁

9:53am Brian in UK:

Oh and some of the buildings are fine too. Namely the Hagia Sofia now a secular site.

9:56am still b/p:

Saw totality in Winnipeg in '79, road-tripped up from Iowa. Fantastic. Shot a bit of 16mm film. I asked Jesus to arrange another viewing for me, and he sent me that picture.

Also in Biblical realm, all I knew about them from Catholic school references and lessons was Sadducees = Bad.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

I believe you were tripping, still b/p.

10:05am Alex In Illinois:

I heard a radio preacher once say: "The Sadducees did not believe in resurrection, so they were sad, you see?"

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Preach, Alex, preach!

10:15am Little Danny:

Mornin' Doug and all

Jesu looks so OVER IT in that painting

10:15am Uncle Michael:

Ugh.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
Fuckkk off Nazi punks, says our dear brother JC.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

...rhymes with Doug, Uncle Michael?

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I could listen to this TnT Boys track for 50 hours straight. So breezy and soulful.

10:21am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

10:21am Uncle Michael:

It can.

10:25am Little Danny:

Whoa, "Deep" is amazing

10:27am Little Danny:

I'm guessing "Hit the Bongo" was meant to fit in there somewhere

10:30am annie:

i went ot go get a snapshot of the view out my one window; all i saw was brick and i'm on the third floor. if i look out the window to the severe right i can see a NW-ern snippet of pisgah forest. the walking out-of- doors will increase!

10:30am annie:

hey ND!!!

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

ndbob, in the house!

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Good guess, LD!

10:32am Kris Holmes:

hi guys

10:32am Jeff Golick:

Nu?

10:32am still b/p:

Snippet of Pisgah is a good name fpr EITHER a band or the spot where a charming kids story character has a little house.

10:33am Little Danny:

Hey Kris

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

I didn't not play just because you did.. I have no problem with "too much Tito Puente." But I was looking for something to cut from that set, so that kinda settled it.

The radio royalty is rolling in: Howdy, Kris H and Jeff G!

🥁

10:35am doctorjazz:

This Clarinet Choir track is cool-likely written out? Sounds a bit like ROVA...

10:35am ndbob:

Heya Annie!

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

You can download this stellar LP from Douglas Ewart here: inconstantsol.blogspot.com...

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the clarinet quartet lineup"

Douglas Ewart ~ b-flat bass clarinet, contrabass b-flat clarinet, b-flat soprano clarinet

Edward Wilkerson ~ b flat soprano clarinet

Mwata Bowden ~ e-flat soprano clarinet, contra alto clarinet, e-flat sopranino clarinet, b-flat sopranino clarinet

J.D. Parran ~ contra alto clarinet, e-flat alto clarinet

10:40am Listener Gregory:

This clarinet choir is sweet, Doug! I've never heard of this group (though I know Wilkerson & Parran).

🥁

10:43am doctorjazz:

Know all the names except Bowden; thanks for the link, I'll download it at home

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Douglas Ewart is a wonderful fellow and a master musician. Here he is pictured with a friend's mother: blog.wfmu.org...

10:45am still b/p:

Benny Goodman's ghost is trying to give these guys the "laser eyes."

10:49am Jeff Golick:

Ps. There's an old D:O post with some Ewart music somehow still accessible over here: destination-out.com...

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Laser eyes of love, you must mean, still b/p.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I came across that page last night searching for info about the Red Hills recording.

🥁

10:52am Sam Segal:

A friend of mine and I interviewed Ewart a few years ago for the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. He lived in the Twin Cities for a long time. The interview got edited down to 45 minutes, but our initial conversation lasted about three hours. Douglas was very generous and brilliant, obviously. Check it out here: walkerart.org...

🥁

10:53am duke:

This is a really nice set. I'm filing the artists away for further listening later.

10:54am JtotheK:

Hi Doug, good morning everyone.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Wonderful stuff, Sam! Can't wait to go there. Thanks for sharing.

@duke
I am so pleased you are enjoying it.

Top 'o the morning to you, JtotheK!

10:55am Jeff Golick:

@Sam: sweeeeeeet.

11:02am Ramblin' Ray:

Solid sounds. Greetings to all Drummeristas!

11:07am northguineahills:

Pretty sure no one in my office would be offended by pissed off Jesus, but I'm still new here.

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Ramble on in, Ray! You can sit anywhere you like.

11:08am annie:

hey b/p!! great idea! and that reminded me that i can finally put my refrigerator magnets from last year's marathon on my brand new fridge!!! GNFAB, get ready to roll!!

11:09am Kris Holmes:

Love this Apostles 45

11:11am Flash Strap:

Hey Doug! Everyone!

11:11am Mark Williams:

the Apostles were working that same sound as Sir Victor Uwaifo, it sounded like.

11:12am Kris Holmes:

very much so, a popular & widely mined sound at the time

🥁

11:13am Brian in UK:

The Apostles, how appropriate. All thirteen oh no Dwayne checked out.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Flash! Strap!

🥁

11:17am doctorjazz:

Loving Amba! This twirly guitar style from the time is just great!

11:19am Jeff Golick:

Some Apostles stuff is being reissued via Bandcamp (though in physical formats only): preschmedia.bandcamp.com...

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Pre-soukous guitar, doctorjazz. Not yet too sweet. Still harding and more driving.

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

Jeff, how come one of the tags is Austria?

11:21am northguineahills:

Konono No.!

🥁

11:22am βrian:

Finally made it! Good morning.

I read that some of the recalled Amazon glasses were actually legit and that Amazon jumped the gun.

11:22am fred:

Nice to hear Konono as I just get home after fetching my swag (!) from the post office.

11:23am Jeff Golick:

@Brian: believe it's an Austrian-based label that's behind it.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

fred you must have needed a truck to deliver your swag.

🥁

11:23am βrian:

In any case, I'm going to watch without looking upwards. It's really the general light that's interesting.

11:24am annie:

true dat brian

🥁

11:25am βrian:

I also read that a one-inch thick slab of white oak will protect your eyes, though you won't be able to see much.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@northguineahills
Konono YES!

Welcome welcome, fred and swag!

Merry Isthmus, βrian!

11:25am fred:

@βrian: You mean they were fake-fake-glasses? All that fake stuff is getting annoying. I hear fake Mr Softee trucks are a big issue in NYC

🥁

11:27am βrian:

I got a triple espresso with a free extra shot. Oh boy. My office chair is vibrating.

11:28am fred:

@Brian in UK: These days are long gone. I can no longer afford to get everything after switching from a private sector job to a non profit.

🥁

11:28am Brian in UK:

@βrian I could fix you up with a cannula to save that messy business of drinking.

🥁

11:28am βrian:

Glasses that distort your view of the alt-fake?

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Bloody hell is this great. I can actually feel my arteries unclogging.

🥁

11:30am βrian:

They say you can't own a cup of coffee, but only rent it.

11:31am burke:

Konono Number 2 just didn't have the same magic as this.

11:31am MB:

Doug, thanks for for yours years of playing such life-affirming music. It has been a long and painful week for this nation but your show today has given me renewed hope and energy. Keep On Keeping On.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Next room. Per usual.

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am Listener Gregory:

Listening to this, I have to think, "So much for white supremacy."

11:34am sinner:

Atheists are the new Christians and bars the new churches.

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

Most music we have heard for the last one hundred years has not been of white origin.

11:34am fred:

My favorite Konono N°1 show took place outdoors on a hot summer day. I saw them with a much better sound on other occasions, but that free show in a park seemed more appropriate, with people who didn't know them at all just drawn in by the sound. Alas, those free shows are not happening these days, for "security reasons"

11:35am Uncle Michael:

No pressure!

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

@fred
Paradoxically, Konono sound better as the fidelity gets worse!

11:37am Little Danny:

Love this Sheppards

11:38am ndbob:

interesting to hear a Sheppards record from 1967

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Brother sinner! Your presence here is a treasure!

🥁

11:40am doctorjazz:

For those in the NY area; Charlie Parker festival next week
Some good performances.
cityparksfoundation.org...

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

This J Blackfoot track is on Prime Cut records. Question: Is the disc label art drawn to resemble raw beef? Take a look and see what you think: www.discogs.com...

🥁

11:43am doctorjazz:

It does look that way, but if you enlarge it, it's actually a map.

11:44am Listener Gregory:

Chicago, the meat-packing map city?

11:44am Mr C:

80s Country Soul from J Blackfoot, formerly of the Soul Children. Good one.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

It's a prime cut.

🥁

11:45am Brian in UK:

Oh, just noticed the label.

11:45am Carmichael:

Heya Doug and future eclipsers.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

J Blackfoot aka John Colbert

11:46am Listener Gregory:

Titles form a dialag (with a little reordering):
I have a stubborn heart!
Really? I don't remember loving you.
Don't destroy me, I'm beggin you!
I'm not responsible.

🥁

11:47am doctorjazz:

Got to see the lee Morgan documentary on Netflix, really great/tragic! Recommended!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

It was an excellent documentary, but I wished it had spent some time really describing what made Morgan a unique and key artist.

🥁

11:49am Artie:

Thank you, Doug.

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Thank you, Doug. Again.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

U R welcome, R T!

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hanging with y'all and digging groovy records is the very best thing.

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

Doug, could you clarify. The Bennett's ?

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Not a typo: www.discogs.com...

Ha!

🥁

11:52am doctorjazz:

Thanks, Doug! Great weekend/week, all!

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Go tear down some monuments, friends!

11:56am burke:

A terribly relevant track. Not the least bit dated.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, burke.

11:57am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug, enjoy the weekend!

🥁

11:57am duke:

Thanks Doug

11:57am JtotheK:

Lady Day and John Coltrane...yes.

11:58am Jeff Golick:

Whoooooooooooo!

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the program, Doug.

See you all in a moment.

12:00pm Ramblin' Ray:

Good one. Thanks Doug. Best wishes to all.

12:00pm fred:

Thanks Doug

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

That was ridiculously pleasurable. Thank you everyone!

12:02pm Little Danny:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

12:05pm Brian in UK:

Doug, forgot to mention this but you probably know already.
nodepression.com...

12:07pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I just download that record last night!!

🥁

12:14pm Brian in UK:

Sad to say, Lucinda has rerecorded Sweet Old World. Funnily, I played it the other night, what a beauty. Gurf and band are tops and her singing is spot on. Those days, compassion and caring were palpable in her song writing.
Now her voice is shot in my opinion. Why would you. Money, I hear you say.

12:18pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
When my little family goes on long car trips, we bring a go-to box of CDs (we just can't switch to MP3s, it seems) and many Lucinda discs are in the box. The most recent of the batch is Essence. After that record (and the departure of Gurf, as well) I things went in a direction I find harder to adore.

🥁

12:20pm Brian in UK:

Totally with you there Doug, I tried but was left waiting. (no typo)
Thanks again for all you do.

12:26pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
