12:08pm David D:

Greetings from over here.

12:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello, my dear radio friends!

12:10pm Leonardo:

Hiya Pittsburg. Wait, looks like I can't spell Pittsburg. Are there two g's?

12:11pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Let's try it with an "e." Pittsberg. No, that doesn't look right, either.

12:11pm Doug Schulkind:

Big thanks to the mighty Kevin Nutt of Sinner's Crossroads for sharing these songs with me!

Howdy, Leonardo! Yes, Pittsburghg has two g's.

12:13pm Doug Schulkind:

So nice to y'all here: Uncle Michael, Listener James FW, doc, duke, Brian in UKgg, ndbob, DD, Leo, KFHP!

12:22pm Doug Schulkind:

Jeff "El Jefe" Golick!

12:25pm Rich in Washington:

Hola, Doug, fellow Drummaniacs!

12:26pm Doug Schulkind:

Well isn't THAT Rich!

12:26pm Marie:

Hidy Doug and all! Really enjoying the show today, Thanks, Doug.

12:27pm Mark Hurst:

Enjoying this Kevin Nutt-inspired set!

12:29pm Doug Schulkind:

@Mark Hurst
This isn't just Kevin Nutt–inspired, it's Kevin Nutt–provided!

12:29pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm enjoying that you're enjoying, Marie!

12:30pm northguineahills:

Did the Rev Pittman sermon keep on going? I was starting to groove to it.

12:31pm Doug Schulkind:

@northguineahills
That was all of Part 1 of that Rev. Pittman record. Part 2 continues on the other side (which I don't have).

12:36pm ndbob:

this was one of those records I foolishly passed over many years ago -cheap - maybe $5 - on a 78

12:36pm Dominick:

Lovely set

12:38pm Doug Schulkind:

Lovely knows lovely, Dominick.

12:38pm Webhamster Henry:

Troublesome Waters has the same tune as Precious Jewel.

12:38pm Marie:

Beautiful song!

12:39pm ndbob:

indeed Dominick

🥁

12:39pm listener james from westwood:

Well, hell, a track Kevin can't trace the pedigree of, now that's a rarity.

12:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@Webham H
So terribly not uncommon for the same melody to be re-appropriated.

12:48pm Doug Schulkind:

When I started doing my show on WFMU in 1987, I wouldn't have been caught dead playing "country" records. My old biases have been demolished so satisfyingly over the years.

12:52pm Rich in Washington:

I grew up in a town where you almost couldn't escape being subjected to country music throughout the late 60s/early 70s. I went through a period in the mid-80s where I loved the darker, older country songs. I now find that I love 50s/60s, some 70s country music, to my wife's eternal annoyance.

12:55pm Doug Schulkind:

My rigid tastes as a young man had me avoiding much music by white folks. But the truth is, some of my best friends are white.

12:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Can this possibly be the same K.C. Carrington: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com... ??!!

🥁

12:58pm duke:

When I was a kid, I would moan and groan when my dad played country music in the car. Now I love this stuff. My old man would be proud. However, lots of contemporary country sounds like warmed over R&R to my ears.

🥁

12:58pm listener james from westwood:

The amazing Laura Cantrell broke my crust on that genre.

12:58pm northguineahills:

Johny Paycheck!

12:59pm burke:

If I had a country show, I think I would call it "Country Fixins."

12:59pm Webhamster Henry:

To do country the WFMU way, though, you need to find covers in Czech, Urdu and Tagalog.

1:00pm burke:

I have a friend who often uses the idiom "Bigger than Dallas" to describe something that's obvious e.g. "It was right in front of her, bigger 'n Dallas!"

1:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@Webham H
I used to say, I don't play country music, I play countries music.

1:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Yippee-tiyo, burke!

1:03pm Rich in Washington:

Oh, Doug! That's so true! I think I've even said something like that when recommending this stream: it's ALL country music, just from all over the world.

1:05pm Rich in Washington:

I always loved how Eugene Chadbourne put out a record called Country Music of Southeast Asia, or something like that.

1:05pm Dean:

Corollary is that all music is World Music. Georg Philipp Telemann? He was once part of the world, wasn't he?

1:07pm David D:

I'm sitting one block away from Telemannstraße and am part of the world - I think.

1:09pm Dean:

I'd love to have an address on Telemannstraße.

1:11pm Dean:

Not to be confused with the original hatin' music you play now and then, "I Hate Hate."

1:12pm Doug Schulkind:

Here's the lineup:

THE HAITIAN ORCHESTRA
Kenneth Roane (tpt), Sidney Bechet (sop-1/clt-2), Willie 'the Lion' Smith (pno), Olin Aderhold (bs), Leo
Warney (dms)

1:13pm geezerette:

:D Bechet!!!
Howdy!

1:14pm David D:

@Dean: Lots of great street names around here. Another block over is Haydnstr.

1:14pm geezerette:

We will build a great, permeable wall of music!

1:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Yay, geezerette's here!

1:17pm Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Don't tempt me. I will whip out I Hate Hate and play it for any old reason.

1:17pm geezerette:

!!! :D

1:18pm ndbob:

Heya Geezerette!

1:19pm geezerette:

ndbob! hello!

1:20pm Doug Schulkind:

I bet you can all guess what track is coming next...

1:21pm Doug Schulkind:

Now THIS is some fine freakin cover art: images.genius.com...

1:22pm northguineahills:

An American, who adopts a Jamaican name, pens a song about a Haitian. I like!

1:22pm geezerette:

Egad! Some image!

🥁

1:22pm doctorjazz:

But of course!

1:23pm geezerette:

Damn, i love Mingus.

1:23pm Dean:

Speaking of streets and composers, this is a fun mini-tour of NYC's association with world musicians: http://www.wqxr.org/story/220328-map-where-famous-composers-have-lived-nyc/

Heh, Copland grew up on Dean St.!

🥁

1:24pm listener james from westwood:

Haitian Fight Song >>>>>> Fight Song.

1:24pm geezerette:

Then you must've grown up on Copeland st.

1:28pm geezerette:

& greetings ,David D., Dean,DocJazz,L.James, everybody!

🥁

1:29pm doctorjazz:

Hey, Geezerette!

1:29pm geezerette:

Great Mingus autobio, "Beneath The Underdog".

1:30pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James From Westwood
Haitian Flight School?

🥁

1:30pm doctorjazz:

Love the little gospel part of the bass solo.

1:31pm Doug Schulkind:

@geezerette
Mingus' blathery blustery bullshit throughout Beneath the Underdog is a thing to behold!

1:31pm geezerette:

yes, sooooo good!

1:33pm geezerette:

@Doug, right? It's one long rant! Love the descriptions of LA.
Ethel Waters' autobio also scathing.

1:34pm David D:

Greetings to you as well geezerette and everyone!

1:34pm Uncle Michael:

I'm guessing five.

1:36pm northguineahills:

I want to see Doug's playlists from 1987.

1:36pm Dean:

I grew up on a quiet suburban street, Cage Rd., @geezerette. Later my family moved to a more cacophonous neighborhood on Led Zeppelin Way.

1:38pm geezerette:

Hi, NGH!

Dean, ha ha! :D No wonder you're a musician.

1:38pm Uncle Michael:

Montego Joe is the WWally Pipp of WFMU

1:39pm Dean:

@geezerette: I read a book long ago primarily for its connection to LA, The Price of Experience, by Randall Sullivan, about the murders connected to the Billionaire Boys Club.

Not really a musician, geezerette, though I'm a virtuoso with the remote.

1:42pm Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Can I be the Eddie Murray of WFMU? Please?!?!

1:43pm geezerette:

@Dean, you're not a practicing musician, but once an artist always an artist, or so I believe.

1:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Here's the lineup on this Don Ellis ditty:

Don Ellis (t), Jaki Byard - (p, as), Ron Carter (b), Charlie Persip (d, tymp)

1:49pm Doug Schulkind:

There's that "tymp" listed in the credits!

1:51pm Jeff Golick:

(I always think of Wally Pipp whenever someone fills in for me.)

1:55pm Dean:

Running to a meeting, dammit.

Tomorrow I'll have the pleasure of hearing Satoko Fujii and her husband perform at Phil Gelb's flat in Oakland. Phil will prepare a vegan dinner for attendees. Gonna be amazing.

1:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Have a great meeting and dinner, Dean!

1:57pm Dean:

Thanks. Bye, all.

1:59pm geezerette:

Enjoy that feast, Dean!

1:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Jaki Byard, on SAX here.

2:01pm geezerette:

Love this!

2:01pm Jeff Golick:

Sounds great, @Dean; I'm jealous. Tell Satoko to maybe ease up on the CD releases, let some of us catch our breath.

Can I be the Jack Brohamer of Give the Drummer Radio?

2:06pm David D:

Did someone say Subway?

2:13pm David D:

We stuff ourselves all days of the year over here - as tradition stipulates.

2:13pm Uncle Michael:

Time on the 1/4-hour in Eucla!
www.wfmu.org...

2:16pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh for heaven's sake! Looks Eucla is practically non-euclidean.

2:18pm David D:

Off-topic: This track rocks.

🥁

2:19pm Brian in UK:

Hello David, bit chilly in Watford this eve. Had to cover the chickens.

2:23pm Jeff Golick:

Is "cover the chickens" a metaphor.

🥁

2:26pm JtotheK:

hi doug, hi everyone.

2:26pm Doug Schulkind:

It's definitely not a simile.

Whoa, JtotheK just showed up!

2:26pm David D:

Hi Brian, same here, no chickens, not even metachickens.

2:28pm Doug Schulkind:

I bet all the other deejay don't have commenters discussing metachickens. #iamsmugashell

2:29pm David D:

That was a metametachicken.

2:30pm Doug Schulkind:

Makes me wanna spin some Charlie Parker. (That was metametametachicken.)

2:31pm Dean:

I never metachicken I didn't like.

Meeting's over.

2:33pm Doug Schulkind:

I bet there was no meeting. Dean just dashed out for a tongue burrito. Tell the truth, Sir!

2:35pm Dean:

We're on a roll (figuratively speaking) this week with succinct meetings. Never had a tongue burrito, but I have had un taco de seso, i.e., brains. That's why I'm so spicy smart.

2:35pm Doug Schulkind:

The problem with eating tongue is, how do you know when you're finished?

🥁

2:37pm Brian in UK:

Lord protect us from readers of whatever stripe. "Cover UP the chickens" should suffice.

2:37pm Uncle Michael:

I'm biting my tongue.

2:38pm Dean:

So it's "Up *with* People," but "Up *the* chickens"!

2:40pm Dean:

Answering @Doug's query @2:35, when you're rendered speechless.

2:42pm geezerette:

! {:c[ guys, guys, enough with the tongues 'n chickens.

🥁

2:43pm Brian in UK:

The chickens are within my responsibility; Up With People by Lambchop would do.

Aaron. The perfect wedding singer, no insult' he could sing any song you threw.

2:43pm Doug Schulkind:

@geezerette
There's no hope with grope.

2:46pm geezerette:

Mopey Grope!, great band.

2:46pm ndbob:

great song here Doug!

2:47pm Dean:

The Neville tune reminds me that my son's middle school is recognizing Transgender Awareness Week next week. In the message to parents, this line: "Here are some terms gender-expansive teens use to identify themselves: agender, boi, both genders, gender fluid, genderqueer, neither, neutral, non-binary, questioning, two spirit, and...human!" Taught me something.

2:48pm ndbob:

so many great records on Amy but never heard that one

2:48pm Monica:

lovely last set, doug! the whole enchilada, in fact!!!!

2:49pm geezerette:

enchilada de lengua.

2:49pm Doug Schulkind:

Good afternoon, dear Monica!

2:49pm Leonardo:

Yeah the enchilada was a gas.

2:50pm Dean:

Enchilada de lengua de pollo!

2:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Better than giving you gas, amirite, Leonardo?!

2:51pm geezerette:

hard to listen when I'm laughng. :D

🥁

2:52pm doctorjazz:

My daughter ran through the gender terms being used now; have to say I couldn't understand what some of them represented.

2:53pm Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
So many great ones on Amy to be sure.

2:54pm geezerette:

If it's possible to have a favorite show, which it isn't, this is mine!

2:54pm Dean:

I can come up with a few terms not on the list that should be: depends, what's it to you?...

2:55pm Monica:

the chi-lites!!!! now yer talkin'!

2:55pm Doug Schulkind:

@geezerette
I have about 1,200 all-time favorite records.

🥁

2:56pm Brian in UK:

Good afternoon, Monica.

2:56pm Doug Schulkind:

@Monica
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the DJ!

🥁

2:56pm doctorjazz:

Man, is this BEAUTIFUL! (The Chi-Lites track), wow!

2:56pm geezerette:

@Dean, chicken tongue sounds like a record label.

2:57pm Dean:

@geezerette: Yep, that and Chicken Scratch.

🥁

2:58pm doctorjazz:

(have family members who love a deli tongue sandwich; always grossed me out, I actually have a memory of my immigrant mom getting a whole beef tongue and cooking it in the house, yuck!).

2:58pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey everyone, it will be my esteemed pleasure to hang out with you next week post-Thanksgiving. There is no place I'd rather be.

🥁

2:59pm doctorjazz:

Thanks, Doug, great stuff!

2:59pm geezerette:

Thanks, Doug and buddies!
Beautiful and so much fun, always. :)

3:00pm burke:

Til then, Doug!

3:00pm ndbob:

🥁

3:00pm Brian in UK:

There's going to be a next week. Yippee. Thanks, Doug.

3:01pm Monica:

hey there, brian in the UK! thx for the terrif tunes, doug!

3:01pm David D:

Meta- and megathanks, Doug!

🥁

3:01pm listener james from westwood:

Many thanks for all this loveliness, Doug!

🥁

3:01pm doctorjazz:

Not Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa?

3:01pm burke:

Ending the show on the south side. Nice.

🥁

3:02pm doctorjazz:

Sounds more like Feh Feh Feh (more sad, I suppose...)

3:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@David
I promise not to drop the baton next Friday!

@doctorjazz
You're counting the fas? You're counting the fas!

3:03pm Doug Schulkind:

@burke
In addition to Monica, my wife is from the South Side. (I'm no dummy!)

3:04pm Jeff Golick:

This show definitely makes me feel more human.

3:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
You are so ridiculously welcome.

🥁

3:04pm Brian in UK:

Sounded like Lou Rawls was the place that Robert Palmer was trying to get to. Maybe.

3:05pm Uncle Michael:

thank you for the music, Doug.

3:05pm Doug Schulkind:

How was lunch, UM?

🥁

3:05pm JtotheK:

thanks doug!

3:10pm Uncle Michael:
