Good evening to you, ausmanx!

duke of url

8:51am d¢ pät:

DRUMMER! you going to give us some choice BB cuts this morning? Never was a fan and feel I have to change my way.

🥁

8:53am duke:

I wasn't a big BB fan either, but he was definitely classy and a hell of a guitarist.

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

That's funny, holland oats! Morning duke! SOrry, no BBK this morning, d¢ pät.

🥁

8:54am duke:

BB is the No. 1 topic on Hacker News this AM.

8:55am d¢ pät:

No prob. I'm sure there will be about 50 million BB posts today.

🥁

8:56am listener james from westwood:

Good Friday, Doug and all!!

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Listener James from Westwood is here y'all. Bring out the spiced pecans!

9:00am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:00am Gary:

Morning

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Good welcome, ndbob and Gary!

9:02am Maggie B.:

My sinuses just cleared on hearing this intro!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Maggie B! Thanks for my new slogan:

Give the Drummer Some, the nostril clearer!

9:05am Alex In Illinois:

Me too Maggie!

9:07am BrightMoment:

Listening from work in Jersey City!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some, the Sinus Whisperer®

@BrightMoment
Glad to see you! Don't work too hard.

9:08am Maggie B.:

Doug, you are my favorite son and decongestant!

🥁

9:10am Brian in UK:

Hey Mr Drummer man.

Totally with you ausmanx, used to have one that you could carry around, not quite a cool suitcase though.

🥁

9:10am Brian in UK:

.....and it ran off batteries.

9:12am ausmanx:

yeah, my parents bought me my first turntable when i was four years old. it's all their fault. it was about a quarter the size of that one, but clipped up into a carry case (batteries too!)

9:14am ndbob:

wow - never heard a celeste quartet before

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Brian in UK!

My first turntable was a portable, avocado green 45-player/AM radio all in one. Got it for my 12th birthday. It was the radio, not the turntable, that would have the more profound effect on my life. I used to listen to that AM radio all night, every night for the rest of my childhood. I still go to bed every night with the radio in my ear.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
The great Meade Lux Lewis on celeste here!

9:16am ndbob:

Mine was a GE portable - around 1965

9:16am ndbob:

@Doug wow!

🥁

9:18am Brian in UK:

The Stream is a different way of listenng to music.
You hear music in a more fundamental way on the Stream.
Music comes at you like it has been refreshed and given new life on the Stream.
You realise what you are listening to is just what you need even though you never knew that you needed it.

9:19am Jeff Golick:

I'd like to get on down and give the drummer some?

9:20am MrC:

All over rainy So Cal people are shouting "more more Oscar Moore!!"

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I personally scrub and polish each song that plays on the stream.

@MrC
Let it rain! Let it rain! Let it rain!

🥁

9:22am βrian:

Morning, Mr Doug Buff-it.

9:23am ausmanx:

had a separate radio in a brown leather case. sat on the swing in the orchard listening to it for hours. which sounds bucolic, but this was the north of england so it was probably playing Gerry & the bloody Pacemakers

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@MrC
Speaking of SoCal, this Oscar Moore was recorded in Hollywood.

9:24am trs:

I've got a Monday sort of grog going on this fine Friday. It's burning off like a fog meeting the sun in this music. Guten Morgen.

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

Doug, it's Jimmy from now on!!

9:26am holland oats:

kenya dig it?

9:27am glenn:

grog, and blarrrrghhhh.

9:29am MrC:

Oscar Moore: linch pin of Nat Cole Trio

9:29am Maricôt:

music that clears nostrils and soothes babies. morning.

🥁

9:30am βrian:

Was that a baby in your nostril?

9:31am AndrewC.:

Is this normal? - A foot of snow in SoCal in the spring: velonews.competitor.com...

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, glenn (glad you're hearing the George Barnes!) Maricôt, βrian, and AndrewC!

9:32am ausmanx:

ah, got Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee tonight. this set is making for a strange soundtrack!

9:33am glenn:

good ack emma.

9:34am annie:

so, yes i'm listening.. but getting ready to go to the next pet-sit.. this has been a pretty busy month, i've been home just 5 days...good morning everyone!

9:35am glenn:

anyway, b.b. probably put out 150 albums in his career. there's a lot of great stuff, and a lot of crap in the catalogue.

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Hello annie

9:36am Listener Robert:

A "suitcase" arrangement like that was very common. We had one phonograph that was a little more compact than the one shown. When Mother bought stereo, the "suitcase" had on its sides hinged speakers that clipped closed, but could easily be lifted out of their hinges for greater stereo spatial separation, & then rehanged to pack up. We didn't take them places, but they were nice tabletop models that could be kept out off the way.

We also had a console in the living room that also held the liquor cabinet & a bookcase. We never used it for audio of any kind once Mother got the portable stereo.

9:38am ausmanx:

got the great Tony Irving playing a gig at my house on Sunday night in case anyone on the playlist is in Sydney and can make it along! vimeo.com...

9:39am ndbob:

this is great - an A-bomb gospel song I've never heard

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Well hello there, annie!

9:39am AndrewC.:

What if you could save people souls by forceably exploding their bodies with flak and shrapnel made from bibles? What would superhero do if he got his powers by being coverted with a radioactive bible?

🥁

9:40am listener james from westwood:

This is not far from the people IRL who want to air-drop Bibles, DVDs, etc. on North Korea.

9:40am Webhamster Henry:

This song has everything.

🥁

9:40am βrian:

We used to gather round the Close-n-Play in the living room. "Open it, and it stops!"

9:40am glenn:

an a-bomb of bibles. i'm not sure the songwriter thought the metaphor out to the end.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, Listener Robert and Webhamster Henry!

9:40am d¢ pät:

GREG!

9:41am ndbob:

Hi Annie et al!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Here are your 101 Ranch Boys: 2.bp.blogspot.com...

9:44am ndbob:

thanks Doug!

9:46am Webhamster Henry:

It's the bomb! s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...

9:47am d¢ pät:

ha. Just had a tense discussion about Lee Hazlewood and Lee Greenwood with mrs. d¢ pät--apparently she had them mixed up or thought they were the same guy. Turns out Greenwood is the dick that gave us God Bless America...

9:48am d¢ pät:

Evan Johns and the H Bombs??

🥁

9:49am Brian in UK:

I think The North Koreans are capable of killing their own generals with anti aircraft fire for falling asleep during a Kim-a-thon.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

What about Lee Hazlegreen, d¢ pät?

9:50am scuzfink1:

In the voice of Garrett Morris: "B.B. KING IS STILL DEAD!"

9:51am ndbob:

@pat no one is a dick just because they write schlock

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Nice little vignette for the mind, scuzfink1!

9:52am d¢ pät:

@ndbob: dick.

9:52am d¢ pät:

I JES KEEDING.

9:53am ndbob:

@pat :)

9:53am Jeff Golick:

Loved the drumming on B-Bomb Baby.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Way to stand up for the schlockmeisters. Some of my favorite music today I derided as schlock years ago.

9:54am trs:

Oh, Richard.

9:56am ndbob:

@Doug How about a Tuesday schlock hour one week?

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Tuesday evenings, 6-7pm (eastern)?!

Good morning, dear trs!

🥁

9:57am Brian in UK:

The name Lee Charles is reversed to Charles Lee and both are used on Jim White's song The Wound That Never Heals'. Just saying.

🥁

9:57am listener james from westwood:

@ndbob: Sounds like the old Incorrect Music hour Irwin and Michelle hosted ages ago!

9:59am ndbob:

@james that was so great!

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Do you pronounce Lytton "LIT-un" or "LIGHT-un" ?? (I would say the former, but what do I know?)

@Listener James
That show was a pioneer. Some dude on public radioin Chicago started doing the same show many years later and it got syndicated on NPR. Shoulda been Irwin and Michelle!

9:59am trs:

Morning, Doug and all.

9:59am d¢ pät:

well God Bless America is just a pandering shitty song. Schlock or no.

🥁

10:00am duke:

I have been playing William Onyeabor over and over, especially this cut and Good Name

10:00am gina k:

Hi Doug, is anyone going to be playing BB King today?

10:01am doca:

Hi, @Doug, I must say I stopped worrying and started loving the bomb during this set

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

@gina k
No BBK today. No disrespect intended.

@doca
Well then my work is done here!

10:02am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: I say LIT-un in my head, but would defer to Brian in UK, or any other Anglo on the board.

Speaking of: saw WOLF HALL Part 1 last night.

10:02am Listener Robert:

What occasions this explosive set?

10:02am God:

@d¢ pät
We need to have a word.

10:03am MrC:

Anything by H Bomb Ferguson?

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
My wife read the Wolf Hall books, so that makes me cool.

10:04am Listener Robert:

Let's see...we're nowhere near close to Nobel's birthday or death anniversary. Any other clues?

10:05am ausmanx:

it's definitely LIT-un. and Wolf Hall as a series is work of some brilliance, and will make Rylance a star. if he wants to be one. they spent 20,000 pounds on candles for the show...

🥁

10:07am βrian:

It's the invisible hand of the algorithm, Doug.

🥁

10:07am Brian in UK:

Yes as ausmanx writes. As in Lytton Strachey.

Mark Rylance is already a star leastways overhere.

10:08am Listener Robert:

I actually used to like Sterling a lot, but he's far worn out his welcome, & himself.

10:08am Pedro G.:

John Sterling and Susan Waldman are the worst broadcast team in sports. Sterling wants to draw attention to himself, which is not what it's about. The master, Vin Scully, wants to bring you to the game.

🥁

10:08am βrian:

Ernie Harwell. We'd turn off the TV volume and turn on the radio.

10:09am tikk:

Totally with you on Sterling. I don't know a single Yankee fan who likes him and yet he's practically an institution.

🥁

10:09am βrian:

@I can one-up that: I don't know a single Yankee fan at all!

10:09am Listener Robert:

Sterling is very different from how he used to be 40 yrs. ago. Waldman always sounds like she's eating, which I think a lot of the time, she is.

10:10am Listener Robert:

Tikk, it's an example of someone's getting into a good place & then going on reputation.

10:12am Listener Robert:

When the Yankees play the Mets, if you listen to the Mets b'cast, it's amazing how much more they tell you about what's going on, or other useful info, than the Yankee b'cast.

10:12am ausmanx:

guess that depends on yr definition of star, Brian? even in UK i wouldn't have called him that since he's done so little TV and film he's not so well known?

10:12am Uncle Michael:

Doug? Bad file?

G'morning.

10:13am Listener Robert:

Even back 40 yrs. ago, Sterling tended somewhat to overplay his rep. They used to get him to announce football, at which he was just incompetent. But he was good for baseball & fairly good for hockey.

10:13am Uncle Michael:

That's part of the music?

10:14am gina k:

re:BB , The first two sets was good respect, it all comes from the same root.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Robert
True! Sterling was way different and better, earlier in his career. He used to do radio for Washington Diplomats soccer if I remember correctly. I have a soft spot for Suzyn Waldman. She is awful on the Yankees radiocasts, but I love hearing her Boston accent calling Yankee games!

@Uncle Michael
I love you you silly fool!

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Sterling's home run call has got to be the worst in baseball.

10:17am ausmanx:

"Wherever he goes in this dog-eat-dog world... he'll be admired by everyone." you can't finish a film better than that...

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you to Jeff Golick for sharing this Paul Lytton record and for not killing me for playing it first before he did on his show(s).

10:18am Jeff Golick:

Ps. That's WOLF HALL on Broadway (at the Winter Garden, previous home of CATS!), not on TV. RSC, not Rylance.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
As grating and embarrassing has Sterling's custom home run calls for each Yankee, I think I hate Michael Kay's hideous frat-boy holler "Seeee-ya!" even more.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you for understanding, gina k!

🥁

10:20am listener james from westwood:

I can stand nails on a chalkboard, but not JS's home run calling.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I still am chuckling to Uncle Michael's query, "That's part of the music?"

10:21am Uncle Michael:

My daily baseball broadcaster has no call. He'll shout "it's GONE," but that's as close to a call as he's got...and bless him for that.

Doug, I wasn't kidding. I thought you needed to know. I'm still not sure you were hearing what I was hearing.

10:21am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: same re wife reading the books; coolness; etc.

Does Sterling have custom calls now? I'm thinking of his interminable "It is far!...It is long!..." or whatever. Kay's "See-ya" is worse, though, yes.

And re Lytton, can think of no better show for its debut!

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

I grew up listening to Chuck Thompson call Orioles games. When something good would happen, or after a particularly thrilling win, he'd bellow "Ain't the beer cold!"

@Uncle Michael
Oh you silly wonderful man. OF COURSE IT WAS PART OF THE MUSIC!

10:22am Uncle Michael:

Oh, ok.

10:23am ausmanx:

time to start talking cricket, Brian...

10:23am Jeff Golick:

Still, for atmospherics, home-team-jingoism, and near-cardiac-arrest-level-drama, nothing beat Johnny Most calling/screaming Celtic basketball games.

🥁

10:25am duke:

@Jeff @Doug my wife also read the books. Can I be cool too?

10:25am Alex In Illinois:

In the old days, the sports announcers all started out on radio, and were radio-minded. So the default was tell as much of what was going on a clearly and quickly as you can. Maybe some of the terms even evolved for that purpose?

10:25am George from Bristol UK:

Heh Doug, we're twins ! I played a track by África Negra and Joao Seria on my 2 hour BCfm Silversound Contrasts radio show yesterday in Bristol UK. "Mino Bo Bé Quacueda" - the track with the really long fade out as the band rumba away down the street - from Carambola (África Negra 83).

10:26am George from Bristol UK:

Sorry, forgot my pic.

10:27am holland oats:

ack this is great!!!

10:27am annie:

i also grew up with baseball on the am radio out of NYC. i loved the drama in their voices and the creative ways they called the game. i hear a little of that when go outside the stadium here for food at the asheville tourists games, i could sit outside and listen to them all through the game. the action inside the stadium is just watch and cheer on your own.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

George from Bristol UK, my brother!

🥁

10:28am Brian in UK:

ausmanx, Kiwis next week then the AUSSIES. Deep joy.

10:29am Flash Strap:

hey doug i am jammin on the show but too sleep y to type. this track is nuts

10:29am Jeff Golick:

@duke: you've got red hair (judging by your avi pic), so you're already cool!

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

Baseball & cricket just an excuse to discuss statistics.

10:31am Pedro G.:

The best-worst of Sterling was when he started to do his HR call for ARod--"An A-bomb..." and it was off a Japanese pitcher. I believe he caught himself at some point. At least that's what I'm told. I can't possibly actually listen to the guy live.

🥁

10:31am listener james from westwood:

Heh, knew it was Annette Peacock from that opening syntho-weirdness. Always a treat.

10:31am Jeff Golick:

Gotta go pick up our car from the shop. I look forward to paying for repairs that cost more than the vehicle is worth. Hope to pick up the stream again once I'm in the driver's seat.

Gah, now I gotta miss "Pony?" Annette had a weird family, I'm guessing.

10:31am Jimmy Carter:

I have lust in my heart for Annette Peacock's music

10:32am ausmanx:

kiwis just as tough as us at the moment, but perhaps psychologically fragile still. you guys got a lot of work to do, i think... statistics are good!

10:32am Pedro G.:

And anyone with young children an $20 for MLB At Bat should make the kids listen to at least one Vin Scully game. He won't be around forever even though he's been around since 1950 doing what he does. The best ever.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

Steady Jimmy, glad you remember your name as your are ninety.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Pedro G
Holy crap, what an dolt. (I do feel bad for Sterling cause his home burned down during the winter.)

@Brian in UK
You are 87% correct.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

ausmanx we do not even have a coach!!!

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

The only coach we have is being driven off a cliff by Pietersen.

10:34am ausmanx:

coaches are overrated. belgium didn't even have a government for a while there and they got along quite well...

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Hi there Sleepy Flash Strap!

10:35am Flash Strap:

man this reminds me to finally get some Peacock albums. why don't i have these??

10:35am d¢ pät:

wake me up when you all are ready to talk futbol...

10:41am trs:

+2days and -2hrs to D.O. and an extra hour -- sounds good to me. Go Jeffs.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@d¢ pät
We are a big Messi/Neymar fans in this house. My daughter is the main instigator, but I have come to love them. Even the great dribbler nibbler, Luis Suárez!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Too bad Annette Peacock isn't on Strut Records eh?

10:47am d¢ pät:

Yeah, same in our house @Doug--they've turned mrs. d¢ pät into a soccer fan. I'm a Bayern supporter but Barca really stomped them.

10:48am d¢ pät:

I'm also a Liverpool fan and was glad to see Suarez go but MAN we miss him. He's just too great.

🥁

10:48am βrian:

Buzkashi is the rage in our neighborhood:
en.wikipedia.org...

🥁

10:49am Brian in UK:

Doug do you see who Suárez is playing against in the final if he is fit. Giorgio Chiellini. I'm sticking my neck out here to say that it should be an interesing tussle.

10:52am d¢ pät:

Holy crap, @Brian! I forgot about that! That should be interesting.

10:53am d¢ pät:

Did you hear that one of the guys Suarez bit, Ivanovic (Chelsea) went on to bite some one else?? That can only mean that Suarez is a vampire.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Brain in UK
Wow, I didn't realize either. Something to chew on.

🥁

10:56am Brian in UK:

What do you do with a player who is a serial biter, recially abuses opponents and is a quite brilliant footballer. BUY HIM. Barcelona have a wonderful front line but the Italians can defend and have patience by the bucketload..

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Barney Kessel on guitar here with Sonny.

🥁

10:57am βrian:

I swear I hear ice cubes clinking, Doug.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

By strange coincidence, Buckets of Patience is the title of my new memoir!

10:59am d¢ pät:

OK Mr. Drummer, gotta go run errands and get ready to coach my son's soccer practice--working on restarts. Thanks for the tunes!

🥁

10:59am Brian in UK:

I used to play a game with those who thought they were hip by making up names and hear them say yeah great band. One was 'Plastic Tearful & the One-Eyed Bucketload' Havn't thought of that in years.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

See ya later, alid¢ pätor

11:00am Listener Robert:

DC Pat, do you include the (uncommon) drop ball as a restart you practice? I bet not.

11:01am Listener Robert:

BTW, I coach chidlren in tackle football.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

You know, I think I forgot to extend warmest greetings to Alex in Illinois...

My very warmest, Alex!

If I missed anyone else, I am a putz and HELLO!

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Next Friday is Léon Francioli's 69th birthday. Happy 69th, Léon!

11:10am Dean:

Koglmann! Lytton! Chapin! Portal! And all the others in between, before, and after!

Catching up here. A renowned medical doctor wrote a memoir, "Buckets of Patients." Another great band: Peter O'Toole Lending Library.

11:11am d¢ pät:

LRobert--good point. It doesn't come into the games much but does happen. mostly working on throw-ins, corners, goal kicks--which they screw up sometimes and give up the ball. I'll do some drop balls today too!

11:11am d¢ pät:

Later, really going now...

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

The Dean of Listeners!

11:13am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug and all scratchers. My 1st turntable was a Kenner Close'n'Play, replaced later by some obscure Sears model.

11:17am Dean:

Oh, to be in London in June, when a really cool classical festival is slated, Swept Away, featuring the music of Kurt Weill, Ernst Toch, and many others: http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on-book-tickets/curated-weeks/the-continuum-ensemble-swept-away I work with one of Toch's grandchildren. His interest in Toch is purely due to the family connection. He has no idea who Stefan Wolpe, Ernst Krenek, Erwin Schulhoff, etc., are.

11:19am Parq:

Hi, all. Day off, slept late. Just got the news about BB. Wow.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Carmichael and Parq. Parq and Carmichael. Nice to read you, gents!

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

I am going to be softly weeping during much of this set Please join me.

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

@Dean we are planning to go to Vienna in August to see the sights travelling by train, then on to Brno to watch the MotoGP. Really captivated by the twenty years before WW1 and Stefan Zweig's writing.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

There is just miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of heart on display in these songs. I wish I could experience even a fleeting moment of the "express yourself by any means necessary no matter what" gumption that the folks in this sequence eat for breakfast. I find it all so breathtaking and impressive. And heartbreaking. In a good way.

11:28am Dean:

@Brian in UK: Funny you mention Zweig. I need to re-read his memoir, The World of Yesterday. (No, it's not called "Buckets of..." anything.) But I also have a book of his about Balzac and perhaps a novel or two, all unread, unopened.

And speaking of the World War (which wasn't WWI until there was a WWII), I have been reading Kenneth Burke's literary criticism written between the Wars. His observations are utterly fresh in many respects, despite their being from a world very much of yesterday.

11:30am Carmichael:

I had to check to see I was on the right stream. This sounds so un-Doug like. But that's OK.

11:30am ndbob:

Zweig is one of those people I've always meant to read but never have

11:33am holland oats:

what was that eddie callahan song? that was great. don't make me google. and hey this twilight nuages has a great hype sticker eh doug?

11:33am Stanley:

Friends!
Doug - the pleasure that is GTDS is here again.

11:35am Uncle Michael:

I hope you can all join me in the next room.

www.wfmu.org...

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
I fed your term "undouglike" into the Drummersomer 5000 and it does not compute. Please try another.

11:36am holland oats:

nrnmnd thx drumma!
flashstrap.blogspot.com...

11:37am holland oats:

i thought my stream had bounced too

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Zweig's history of Brazil is illuminating and a good place to start. If you can find it.
@Dean I was so shocked to discover that The Grand Budapest Hotel was an homage to Zweig.
pushkinpress.com...

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
You are all invited and encouraged to attend the next radio show on the Drummer Stream. Your host Uncle Michael will treat you with respect and neighborliness. Hinky Dinky Time is the show and here is the gathering spot: wfmu.org...

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Haha! Forgot that I found the Eddie Callahan at Flashstrap!

🥁

11:40am Brian in UK:

@Doug I think it refers to undoughlike and your pizza making skills.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I am making a leek and goat cheese pie these days. Sometimes with prosciutto. The leeks get sautéed in butter, cream and white wine. Um, like, really good.

11:45am Dean:

@Brian in UK: News to me, too, but I'm not all that tuned into movie stuff. For instance, about ten years ago I predicted the next blockbuster would be a contrived biopic about Gutenberg, the "invention" of movable type, the machinations surrounding a claim to the invention, his love life, etc. I figured we'd see one within two years.

11:45am Dean:

I love recipes that begin, "First, take a leek..."

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Yum, fax me one, por favor.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I'm a whizz at making them.

🥁

11:47am Brian in UK:

That was Police Academy?

11:47am Dean:

You can't spell pizza without a pee.

11:48am MrC:

Really nice show today. Just saw the BBall announcer stuff. Spare you from Phillies radio stories in olden times. Baseball and Ballantine!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

The hypnotic, undulating piano on this Karen Beth number just slays me.

OK, back the urine jokes.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd.
You can't eat doughnuts without licking your lips.

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Doug, I was supposed to walk the dog at least an hour ago. You are a fiend. Thanks.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

@MrC
The problem with listening to the Phillies on the radio is with the Phillies mostly. (Sorry, that was hurtful and I apologize.)

11:51am holland oats:

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Brian, you missed a Terence Boylan composition on my show last week.

11:51am MrC:

Hey...from Richie Ashburn to Richie Allen..

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Richie "Don't Call Me Dick" Allen.

~~~~~~~~~~

Can anyone understand a thing Mr. Brown is singing? I find it most unintelligible and entirely wonderful.

🥁

11:53am Brian in UK:

Uncle, I heard the archive and got the mention, thanks. First time I heard Ian Matthews take on Shake it. Prefer Boylan's.

11:53am Carmichael:

You can spell pizza with a pee, especially in the snow. Just ask Zappa.

11:53am Dean:

"Every little step you take..."

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for listening!

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

But then I would write that.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Uncle it is never quite the same when you can see what has been played.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Bobby Brown is performing on homemade instruments here. He had about 50 different contraptions, all built on a rig he could transport in his van. He would pull up to a site, pull out his rig and play. This recording was made on the beach near Laguna.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

I know. Don't look!

11:56am quinn:

I really like this

🥁

12:01pm Alex In Illinois:

@Doug: I heard that even the Phillies' own fans curse and throw broken bottles at them.

12:02pm Jesse K:

thanks Doug!

12:04pm Doug Schulkind:

You're welks, Jesse K!

@Alex in Illinois
The ballpark in Philly is where fans intentionally throw up on little girls.

12:20pm Jeff Golick:

Belated thanks for the great great show (and for hyping the schedule change)!

Catching this show a little late, I looked up Tiny Grimes on Wikipedia to find more about his non-Charlie Parker career and I learned that these very Highlanders performed in kilts. Of course I had to go find pictures: www.allmusic.com... and www.discogs.com... .
