WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 03/22/19

Listener comments!

8:16am ausmanx:

i'm not sure it's a good sign when the bear standing next to you is licking its lips. good evening, all, from the murderous antipodes

8:18am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe the bear has been singing its little heart out for hours and has dry mouth? (Doubtful.) Peace and love to you ausmanx.

8:31am annie:

finally have a friday morning to relax.. glad to be here.

8:43am Doug Schulkind:

Kick your feet up annie! Tell your ears to kick their feet up, too!

8:52am Alex In Illinois:

I am guessing that the bear's squeezebox is one of those aluminum-bodied ones made in Ukraine. Hmm, 2 rows on the treble side and on the bass side, 16 buttons?

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

The Bear's Squeezebox was the name of my first band in high school.

8:54am annie:

in my mind i will, i've got a case of creaky-legs.. ... working on a project ..mostly office work today; i'll be a-tappin' the toes and a-swingin' my head.

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Kick up your creaky legs, annie! And tell your mind to kick up its creaky legs, too!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gentlemen, let us get on down and give the Drummer some.

9:02am ausmanx:

the bear's squeezebox does sound like some kind of perverse euphemism, but i don't know where i'm going with that

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

DO go on, ausmanx. We're all ears, er, eyes!

9:05am Uncle Michael:

Dude.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

Right, in 2015 you were in C and I was in A. I'd forgotten that.

9:09am Mark Hurst:

Doug! Great hearing you again.

🥁

9:10am dutchtheo:

right on time, Kansas city here i come.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

A thrill to meet the wonderful Mark Hurst in person last Friday. And look, he's RIGHT HERE!

9:11am Sem:

Hello, and good morning, Doug, the usual susects, and the hip-wading in the stream curious, casting their ears into this calm pool of tunage.

9:12am thedunkel / el carnicero francés:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer! Good Morning all!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael! Sem! dutchtheo! Welcome one and all!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

I met thedunkel at the station last week, too. So much happy! Good day, thedunkel!

9:15am Maggie B.:

it was good to be there that second Monday, but so sorry I missed you Doug!

9:17am Mark Hurst:

Pleasure was all mine! And to see Uncle Michael again, too!

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

I always miss you, Mama Maggie B! (And Papa Bill D, too!)

Everyone, Maggie B has adopted yours truly for another year, and I am over the moon about it!

🥁

9:17am doctorjazz:

Hello Drummers!

9:17am Maggie B.:

and i am so happy to have that honor - again!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

doctorjazz, the smooooooth operator!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

"Like a Texas steer, she buffalo'd me"

What a lyric!

9:19am Webhamster Henry:

Hackensack namedrop!

9:20am Webhamster Henry:

Great to see the GTDS Dim Sum Picture! You'll have to photoshop in the missing DJs.

9:22am Dave Sewelson:

Brooklyn is not the same without you guys...

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Every year at the marathon, the local and visiting Drummer Stream DJs gather for a traditional dim sum brunch. (Give the dimmer sum?) Oh how I wish we could all gather together in one place. There are still many Drummer Stream DJs I have never met in person. Crazy!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Meeting Dave Sewelson in person was a great pleasure! Hello, Brooklyn Dave!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Killer tuba on this Bennie Moten joint!

9:26am Webhamster Henry:

Jazz Tuba set please!

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

Actually, it's likely a sousaphone.

9:26am Webhamster Henry:

I'm full of demands.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
I'll get right on it!

9:26am Alex In Illinois:

From the Young Ones: "Time for an instrumental break! Okay, what instruments should we break?"

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

A heartwarming sentiment, Alex in Illinois.

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and demon listeners.

The Balalaika Bears, band of ice hockey team?

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

The iconic version of "Kansas City."

The iconic Brian in UK!

9:30am davefromtoronto:

9:31am Mr C:

I got sunshine on a cloudy day when the drummer is on!

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Cool and scorching at the same time, davefromtoronto!

10:07am Webhamster Henry:

Here's a Vocal Fry Tenore show:
wfmu.org...

🥁

10:10am Brian in UK:

Bands formed in companies. Not sure if this is true but I was told that the Firehouse Five + Two worked for Disney.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

And here is a special feature I did on tenore singing from Sardinia back in 2011: wfmu.org...

🥁

10:16am Brian in UK:

Doug, ah Tuesday evenings.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I had to give up the Tuesday evening show because of graduate school. I continue to relinquish the time due to being gainfully employed.

🥁

10:20am βrian:

I'm ungainlily employed, myself.

10:20am Mr C:

Doug, do you still buy physical music - Lps, box sets,??

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
I do, but rarely. I am virtually drowning in the music I have downloaded and not gotten to yet. (I probably have 5000 LPs of downloaded material I have yet to hear. Gack!)

10:24am Mr C:

Great set right here going on..

🥁

10:26am JtotheK:

Nice Marcos Valle track. Hi Doug, hi everyone!

🥁

10:28am Brian in UK:

Were they singing Arancina, the speciality of Sicily?

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C knows from his Brazilian music. Check out these fabulous programs he broadcast on WFMU, mostly in 2003: wfmu.org...

Greets to you, JtotheK!

10:30am joe:

'ello folks

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Hey ho, it's joe! Please to see you, Sir!

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Jay Berliner on "classical" guitar here with Mingus.

10:44am Sem:

How great is this? Sweet, DS.

10:45am joe:

@Doug Sorry we did not have the opportunity to cross paths last week.

10:46am Jeff Golick:

Put a bunch of stuff in a blender and this is what you get? Meanwhile, my smoothies are terrible.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

I heard that you were around, but missed you! Next time!

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Jeff "Mr. Smoov" Golick!

10:52am Jeff Golick:

'morning, Mr. DJ.

10:55am Funky16corners:

Morning all!

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

NOBODY puts Funky in a corner!

10:57am Funky16corners:

God knows they keep trying...

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

The drummer on this Marzette Watts track is the great J.C. Moses. Max Roach used to perform a drum solo tribute called JC Mose-Is.

11:00am Mr C:

Give Marzette one!

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Marzette Watts Tower!

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Marzette Watts was a founding member of SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee)!

11:08am Funky16corners:

I dig this one

11:09am Dean:

Do I have this Khan Jamal record? Maybe...? Maybe not...?

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Khan Jamal was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but he has always been known as a "Philly guy."

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

You are tempting the wrath of Khan, Dean.

11:11am Dean:

Khan job!

One of my top three (or whatever) desert island records is Khan Jamal's on Steeplechase with Sun Ra.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Powerhouse quartet:

Khan Jamal (vib), Dave Burrell (p), William Parker (b), Sunny Murray (d)

11:12am Webhamster Henry:

A bit on the Nancarrowy side of Jazz.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Nancarrowy is my new favorite word in the English language. Because it is, now, a word in the English language.

11:15am Dean:

Nan caraway is an Indian flat bread served at a kosher diner.

11:15am Funky16corners:

I’d like a loaf of rye with Nancarrowy seeds

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Great, now I'm starving. Thanks, guys.

11:23am Uncle Michael:

Henry, you do not want to miss my first set today.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

Not that anyone does. So, DON'T! (top of the hour)

www.wfmu.org...

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Conlon Nancarrow playing an autoharp, Uncle Michael?

11:30am rw:

Good morning! It's my goal today to use Nancarrowy in a sentence.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Goal achieved.

11:32am Dean:

Well, there is the matter of "use" versus "mention."

11:33am Uncle Michael:

pedant

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

We should all strive to do so, rw.

11:33am Dean:

You can't spell pedant without D-E-A-N.

11:34am Michael 98145:

that bear shure can sing

11:34am rw:

Again, you guys all seem so... awake.

11:35am Dean:

(Does the GIF remind anybody else of...gulp...Frozen?!)

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Michael 98145
But does the bear utilize a Shure SM58 microphone, as I do I? That, Sir, is the question.

11:37am Uncle Michael:

I'm aWOKE, rw.

11:37am Listening Out There:

Hey. I be listening...

11:39am Michael 98145:

shure looks like he ate the mic

11:41am Listening Out There:

Ate the Mike? Does this mean (shudder) the end of Hinky Dinky Time?

11:42am chresti:

Good morning, from sleepy pst

11:42am Michael 98145:

- when you're here, you're almost there -

11:42am Funky16corners:

LOVE the Casanova Two!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Psssst, good morning, sleepy Chresti!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

You're a man of wealth and taste, Funky16Corners. Well, of taste for sure.

11:45am Funky16corners:

Northern classic!

11:45am Michael 98145:

heya, @chresti. i'm sleepy -and- pollen-afflicted

11:46am Funky16corners:

So bad I coulda been born twins!

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

But we're supposed to loathe Northern Soul, Funky16Corners. Guess we didn't get the memo.

11:48am Funky16corners:

I got it but I set it on fire

11:49am chresti:

hay Michael!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Who remembers Jason Sigal's show on WFMU called Talk Is CheaP? wfmu.org...

11:51am Funky16corners:

The lead singer on this sounds like Darrow Fletcher

11:52am Jessie Allen:

wow.

11:52am Uncle Michael:

I was thinking the same thing.

Who?

11:52am Michael 98145:

there are lotsa things we forgot to dislike

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

When God made radio shows, she broke the mold when she created Hinky Dinky Time (which has been thoroughly disinfected due to the mold situation). Tune in for the great Uncle Michael, next!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Wow! A wow from Jessie is quite an endorsement! WOW.

11:54am Funky16corners:

This is a nice one by Jean Wells. All I have by her is upbeat/Northern-style stuff

11:56am Uncle Michael:

First entry in the "Volume Two" sweepstakes, Doug?

11:57am Michael 98145:
