Bongo curious. Hi Doug and all.

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

ausmanxbob! I have always been pro podes, not antipodes.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

9:14am ndbob:

hello UM!

9:14am hyde:

yeah! a little live Drummer Some for once, before I go out to buy many pounds of pork shoulder

9:17am hyde:

plus I just saw 15 minutes of a movie that had a 13 year old Laurence Fishburne and Jamaal Wilkes in it. This day is pretty promising so far.

9:18am ausmanx:

when i first put carp in my pond, i called them all Bob (Black Bob, Red Bob etc) but they were unruly and undisciplined and jumped out and died. since i gave them names like Tom and Ethel, they've been peaceful...

9:19am Shaun:

Thankee Brian. Hope you're well?

🥁

9:20am Brian in UK:

Shaun I have been playing Ramblin' Sid Rumpo recently. Lawd knows why but it makes me laugh.

9:21am Lore:

Always a pleasure to hear Jack Owens. Cold called his old musical partner Bud Spires while passing through Bentonia, MS, a couple years ago. He invited me over to his place, played a few songs on the harmonica, told old folktale/jokes, & generally charmed the heck out of me. RIP!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, hyde! I once threw my pork shoulder out and was eating vegetables for a week.

It's always an honor and a pleasure to have your company, Lore!

9:25am Evan in NC:

My kiddos are in our school's computer lab today. Arranged my week around this show. If you have any songs about sentence diagramming or the elements of plot, that'd really help me out.

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

@Lore Charlie Jackson seems to have taken root on my turntable.

9:27am Maricôt:

Morning from São Paulo \o/

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

No sweat, Evan in NC. Coming right up!

Welcome welcome, Maricôt!

9:29am Lore:

@Brian in UK: That makes my day, thank you!

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

>> Just seeing word on Twitter from a reliable source that Ben E. King has died. <<

9:31am MrC:

Sorry to hear that Re: Ben E King

9:34am Jeff Golick:

I hear that's a pretty great Walmart, though.

9:34am Jeff Golick:

'ello.

9:35am ndbob:

woah Doug

9:36am ndbob:

think about WalMart - in some small towns there's not much - if any - competition

🥁

9:37am Brian in UK:

This is not meant to be offensive but the more I hear about the USA, the less I understand. But thereagain why should I.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Glad to see you, MrC! And you, too, Jeff Golick!

@Brian in UK
You're not saying anything we (I) don't already know. No offense taken.

9:40am Maricôt:

Choosing this band's name is cheating haha

9:40am holland oats:

drumma / peeps / snakes young & old

9:43am ndbob:

no offense taken , but I don't agree

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

holland oatssssssssss!

I am a proud name cheater, Maricôt!

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Fábio singing about São Paulo!

9:46am Maricôt:

He sais a certain captain Blue was ran over on Ipiranga street, São Paulo, turned himself into a fire bird and flew away

9:47am Maricôt:

oh, the 70's

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the translation, Maricôt!

9:49am chromaphone:

Mornin'. So far coworker has not shown up so I get to listen in real time :)

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

When coworker arrives, chromaphone, let me speak with him/her/it.

9:52am Maricôt:

love this song. this version's awesome

9:52am chromaphone:

LOL DS

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Maricôt
Original version by Sérgio Sampaio?

9:54am Maricôt:

oh, and it's not only "Eu quero é botar meu bloco na rua", there is a second song: "Amanhã ninguém sabe" by Chico Buarque

9:55am Maricôt:

She sings one afer the other

9:56am Maricôt:

Yes, original and a lot more "samba-like" by Sergio Sampaio

9:56am Evan in NC:

what a sublime set!

10:00am ausmanx:

Ki te kore a Tangaroa e whaangai i a taatou he raruraru tino nui mo ngaa mea, enoho ana ki raro i toona mari.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

And it's helping with the sentence diagramming, Evan in NC, I bet!

10:02am Evan in NC:

@Doug
I'm getting some weird but not unhappy looks. You know what they say: if you can get even one child to appreciate tropicalia, you've done your job.

10:04am Jeff Golick:

I'll just leave this here: I was born in 1968.

10:05am Shaun:

Yeah, soixante-huitard baby, baby.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Are getting Maori on me?!

10:07am V Priceless:

Morning, Doug!

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hoist on my own soixante-huitard, Shaun.

10:09am Maricôt:

Your Portuguese is better than it was a few years ago. I think you've been taking secret lessons.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Very sweet of you to say, Maricôt (you liar)!

Greetings, V Priceless!

10:13am Alex In Illinois:

@ausmanx: Is that the song in which the 7 Canoes of Aotearoa are named?

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Keshavan on piccolo!!

10:14am Listener Gregory:

Keshavan Maslak would have been much more popular if he/they had worked the phrase "washboard raggamuffins" into the group's name.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, Alex in Illinois!

@Listener Gregory
Keshacan sometimes performs under the name Kenny Millions. Here is a photo: en.wikipedia.org...

10:16am ausmanx:

damn near the canoes, Alex... perversely, Maori talk about Chile! "There are some countries that have a real connection with the sea, the day's rhythm seems to be in sync with the tides." i suppose that's like a request for some water songs...

10:21am Maricôt:

is this the guy from the Peanuts soundtracks or am I nuts?

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

You may possibly be nuts, Maricôt, but you are also correct.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

The great Carol Kaye on bass here!

10:35am ausmanx:

the launch of the new Clinton Walker BURIED COUNTRY on sunday was great, Doug, and look out for a new completely different CD too. i should try to get some of those field recordings from the doco from Clinton for you. meanwhile, the great blues singer Olive Knight (who sings in Aboriginal language) is about to have her whole remote community shut down by the right wing state government... www.youtube.com... www.abc.net.au...

10:38am Maricôt:

He's the one who's got me into jazz, as a kid growing up in the '90s watching Peanuts special reruns

10:38am MrC:

Close your windows Doug, but open the door to your heart..

10:39am Alex In Illinois:

I have met some devoted Vince Guaraldi fans. It is easy to understand why they enjoy his music. And, when listening to a Vince Guaraldi record with them they were like happy little kids (they were all over 50) and their joy was easily infections.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Some have said that Vince Guaraldi is the most listened to jazz musician in history. And many credit him with getting them interested in jazz. To all of that I say THANK YOU Vince Guaraldi.

The doors to my heart are always ajar, MrC.

10:43am ausmanx:

twinkle are truly great. what was that record they released some years back with the Polish folk family?

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

They've performed with Trebunie-Tutki! en.wikipedia.org...

10:47am ausmanx:

yes, that Higher Heights record, amazing. i think Adrian Sherwood has something to do with it, but might be wrong

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Adrian Sherwood has done greatness.

10:49am listener jeff:

speaking of Carol Kaye - I just saw the "Wrecking Crew" movie. If you haven't checked it out, please do so ASAP.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@listener jeff
Oh I really wanna!

10:52am northguineahills:

I had never heard the Twinkle Bros. before, digdug.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Well then my work is done, northguineahills!

10:54am Lewis:

Greetings all - The weekend can not come soon enough, but this set will do in the meantime!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Judy Mowatt singing Cilla Black!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Lewis! Hang on, I think Hinky Dinky Time is the official beginning of the weekend.

10:57am Mike East:

yeah, what ngh said. had to wiki. Got me and my coworker talking about reggae

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some, making workplaces less "going postal" since 1987!

10:58am Lewis:

indeed!!

🥁

10:59am Artie Haywire:

Working in a record store years ago, I helped out a very elderly, non-English-speaking, Japanese couple who could make their request known only as "Snoopy music". We special ordered them the Vince Guaraldi Peanuts record. Their unvarnished delight was a thing of beauty.

10:59am Maricôt:

Can't believe the show is my age

11:01am Mark Williams:

just checking in, Doug. I'm on the West Coast for a day, and lo and behold, you played some King Cry Cry (aka Prince Far I).

11:02am Evan in NC:

And another sublime set! My weekend will be spent listening to the archive of this one between Washington Nats games.

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Mark Williams
Far I is always far out. Nice to see you!

@Artie Haywire
Delight is a dish best served unvarnished. Hello!

11:08am Mark Williams:

Banana label being a UK label that frequently featured Studio One recordings, which is the case here.

11:09am Mike East:

anyone catch the Vin Scelsa piece on NPR this morning?

11:09am Mike East:

www.wnyc.org...

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Mike East
What is this NPR thing I've heard chatter of. You mean there is other radio out there?

@Mark W
I just have a digital copy. Went to Discogs and grabbed the first release that popped up to throw in the playlist!

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

@Mark Williams Island had Mango as a label in the Nineties. Any more fruit.

11:17am Mike East:

@Doug - Its what you tune into when all you have is FM and its before 9am on a weekday...when is GTDS gonna get a broadcast signal, huh?

🥁

11:17am Brian in UK:

There was Tomato, is that a fruit, ofcourse it is, seeds.

11:17am Mark Williams:

oh wow Doug, I haven't heard this "Missi Milai" track in ages. What a great vibe this recording has.

11:19am Mark Williams:

@Brian - yeah, there was a Grape label! Disappointingly dull in its label artwork, however.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Mark East
An intriguing thought. GTDR-FM!

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

Smooth FMU, listlessly chasing your dreams

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Many great LPs on Tomato! From Peg Leg Sam to Townes Van Zandt to Harry Partch!

11:25am Jeff Golick:

to Sam Rivers!

11:25am Jeff Golick:

...and Leroy Jenkins, iirc.

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

I am waiting for the drummer to fall down a manhole just as the gif flips over.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Keep waiting, Brian in UK, you sadist.

11:26am Jeff Golick:

That's Marie's Crisis, Brian. It happens to her later on.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of fruity record labels, one of the first record stores I started mass purchasing at was the local Peaches chain store in Rockville, Maryland. It had the most amazing cutout bins in the history of the vinylverse. I bought about 20 Yusef Lateef records there in maybe 1975 and the rest is (my delirious) history.

11:33am ndbob:

@Doug for sure - I worked near there at the time - One day I went in and they had a huge selection of County label prewar country collections in the cutout bin - must have bought 20 of them

🥁

11:37am Brian in UK:

In lieu of ......., read The Peaches by Dylan Thomas last night, the first story in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog.

Sounds like a great shop, you can test out sounds with little outlay.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Makes me sad. Back then I was completely close-minded to country music. It took me too long to shake off that particular bias.

🥁

11:39am Brian in UK:

The Sandpebbles, great book & film.

11:41am Uncle Michael:

Please keep me company in the next room at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Do what Uncle Michael says and no one will get Al Hirt!

11:44am MrC:

Today's show was a top of the list-er Doug..great one man.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Your words make me happy, MrC.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Nice bari sax on this Edwin Starr deal. Sounds almost electrified like Eddie Harris' electric sax.

11:48am still b/p:

Must give thanks for not only today's show, but for all the streamy blessings. Have spent long hypno-dogged-indoor-confinement days taking care of projects on the computer recently (I understand something called "Spring" is unfolding out there?), and yesterday the programs and the stretches of in-between musical flow on the Drummer stream were so good and especially welcome. I'd say awesome...and I never say awesome.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

We're here for you s b/p.

11:51am northguineahills:

I had friends that worked at our local Peaches. Then it became a Coconuts. Then a Blockbuster Music, then a Xtian book/music store. The last time I visited my parents it was a mattress store.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

You've been such a nice audience, I'm giving you parts 1 and 2 of Slow That Disco Down.

@still b/p
There is a woman at work whose favorite phrase is "awesome sauce." I am draw to it and repelled by it at the same time.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Great morning of music, Sir Douglas. Thank you.

🥁

11:53am Brian in UK:

Gruesome show, Doug.

11:54am Jeff Golick:

There's construction happening right at my feet in the apt below mine, so I must vacate. Thanks for the splendiferousness, Doug!

11:55am Alex In Illinois:

There was a Peaches Records in the St. Louis suburbs in the late 1970's early 1980's

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Glad it grew on you, Brian in UK!

Get out while you can, Jeff Golick!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
Now I might pay to visit a Xtian mattress store.

11:57am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug for another great show!

11:57am Shaun:

Cheers Doug.

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am Parq:

Hi, Doug and gang. Been here since ten, but haven't been very chatty. I'll be in and out of the room for Uncle Michael.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, Parqy! Chatty not a requirement!

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:
