The Drummer beats on the sunny side..

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

I make my borscht with drummer beats, Mr C.

9:18am glenn:

this is what happens when ewoks let their daughters hook up with orcs. keep your ewok daughters under lock and key!

9:18am Mr C:

There was a new Elza Soares record last year that got singled out by Times as one of year's best. Missed that..

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Seems like a million years ago, you did a hugely pleasurable and inspiring Brazilian music radio show Maestro C.

9:19am glenn:

i see your cold weather, and raise it. news.nationalpost.com...

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
I hear it is warmer on Mars right now than in Toronto.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

I wrote that without clickety-clicking, glenn!

9:22am glenn:

uh huh. SURE you did.

9:24am glenn:

and also today in canadian science news. www.cbc.ca...

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Go with the flow, glenn.

9:27am holland oats:

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

holland oats in the howwwwwwse!

9:34am guy mauve:

Good morning from Etobicoke, West Toronto, Doug and drummer`s all.

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

Give the drummer some Brazilian beats!

9:35am glenn:

greetings from the junction, guy mauve.

9:36am still b/p:

Good right-at-zero-degrees morning! I got more foot layers on here indoors than I'll admit to, all inside my mukluks! Light synthetic ones...but mukluks still.

9:38am guy mauve:

Hey Glenn,

The junction has it going on, but you already know that.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Good greetings, guy mauve, Webham Henry, and still b/p!

9:40am glenn:

true, but etobicoke has the fords.

9:40am melinda:

hi folkses

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

melinda happening NOW!

9:41am annie:

it's a hoot, doug, i though you said cyndi lauper

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Did you know that Miles Davis once covered a Cyndi Lauper song?!

9:43am glenn:

oooooh. phyllis dale. this is fab.

9:44am annie:

which one? i think i knew this, refresh my brain.please.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Time After Time.

9:45am Dave in Vermont:

Just tuning in. Doug, congrats on the end of the semester - I finished with two exams yesterday. Are you done, or have more semesters?

9:49am Parq:

G'morning, all. Yep, that gif is exactly what the arrival of winter feels like.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

I have three more semesters, Dave. I'm 25% done.

9:49am Scraps:

In fact, lots of jazz musicians cover Time After Time. I don't know why, but it's become an almost standard.

🥁

9:49am βrian:

Wow, I didn't expect to see the inaugural parade so early ...

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

The arrival of Parq is a more pleasant thing to contemplate!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, nice to see you Scraps! and you, too, βrian of the Isthmus!

9:50am Scraps:

Cheers!

9:51am Parq:

Aww, I blush. My kid just finished grad school yesterday, Doug. The end does arrive.

🥁

9:52am doctorjazz:

I think Miles made Time after Time permissible for jazz musicians.
Congrats, Doug! Some deserved time off (waiting to see if my college freshman passed her last finals of her first semester today...)

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

And congrats on her passing the teaching certification thingy, Parq!

9:53am glenn:

yvonne devaney is also fab.

9:53am still b/p:

Remember the wisdom that says, "A journey of 100% begins with 25%."

🥁

9:53am βrian:

Finished grad school just in time for the End Times? Dear me.

9:54am glenn:

this is on beehives and bumper bullets, as is rome wasn't built in a day

9:55am Jeff Golick:

I love a parade.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Someone's got good taste, glenn!

9:56am Ike:

If that's not a classic Doctor Who monster in that GIF, then it should have been.

9:56am glenn:

it's a great compilation. all it's missing is vancy flowers.

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
A journey of 100% begins with 25¢.

I like Ike!

9:57am Hugo:

Time after Time is one of my wife's favourite tunes. I managed to find it on a 12-inch. Speaking of exams, 26 papers to grade. On to my my 26th now, finally.

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Wow! It's Hugo! Long time no see, Sir!

9:59am Jeff Golick:

Actually, scratch that. I hate parades.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Dig the deployment of the sitar in the next selection!

🥁

10:00am doctorjazz:

This Eve cover of "Anyone Who Had a Heart" took me a bit to recognize it. Nice, though.

🥁

10:01am βrian:

Why has nobody yet invented the Mouth Sitar?

10:01am glenn:

bonnie dobson. also fab.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

When the world gives you pars, Jeff Golick, make parade.

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Can one do Bacharach badly?

@βrian
Get right on that!

10:04am melinda:

Interesting cover. I love Bobbie Gentry.

10:04am glenn:

i got stung.

about
I wrote this around 1966 or ‘67. I think I might have been a little cross with someone.

10:05am Parq:

Ah, this is Gentry. Should have known. Love practically everything she does. Doug at 10:02, brilliant.

10:12am ndbob:

Heya Melinda!

10:13am ndbob:

@melinda Bobby Gentry is really underrated - so many only know her from Ode to Billy Joe and don;t like that - and never explore more

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

Prague rock again?

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

I'm nothing if not pragugressive, WH!

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, I'm a slav to your programme.

🥁

10:19am βrian:

Don't Google "Podrywacze" at work...

10:20am glenn:

praguegramme.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I'll whip up something special for you, Brian in UK.

10:22am Parq:

Praugressive sounds so much better than liauberal.

🥁

10:24am βrian:

A Japanese friend of mine told me he was reading about the Prague of the 14th century. Bubonic Prague, to be specific.

10:24am Jeff Golick:

@βrian: "Filmy porno polskie."

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

Prague is a beautiful city. Except the building that houses the municipal art gallery. You can use ironical, in its truest sense as it is Sixties functionality. Designed by a committee that was not talking to each other.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

I am about to crack open my third liter of seltzer during the show. I need an intervention.

🥁

10:27am βrian:

Well, I've never been a fan of municipal art, anyway.

🥁

10:28am βrian:

Alka seltzer?

10:28am burke:

Czech that seltzer consumption, Doug.

🥁

10:29am Brian in UK:

Doug, you comment at 10:20 reminds me of the old joke.
Woman talking to her friend about a man of god coming round later, saying "I'm going to lay on a trifle for the vicar".

10:30am Uncle Krampus:

Ahh...morning naps..

10:31am Uncle Michael:

Doug, you need a SodaStream (tm).

🥁

10:31am βrian:

@BUK: In the end, she Lady Mondegreen.

10:32am Buddha Pest:

Greetings, burke!

10:32am melinda:

hi Bob!

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
(a) The tap water in Pittsburgh is godawful
(b) I drink seltzer in such quantities that it wouldn't be prudent.
(c) Really godawful.

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

@βrian Guess it is what is on show inside. This stunning collection was there when we visited.
www.muchafoundation.org...

10:34am Uncle Michael:

Quantities is why it WOULD be prudent. No disposable bottles, a fraction of the cost. Get a water cooler and buy 5 gallon jugs of spring water. Again, a fraction of the cost and no waste.

10:35am melinda:

re: Bobbie Gentry- true, there is so much more than Ode to Billy Joe. But that's such a great song, it seems like it should make people more interested in her work. To each their own, I guess.

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

@melinda, Joe McGasko is a BIG Bobbie G fan.

10:36am Jeff Golick:

ooof sorry, Doug.

10:36am annie:

breathe, doug... <3

10:38am ndbob:

@melinda I agree - I don't understand it but many feel that way _ i had a conversation about this the other day - trying to encourage people to listen to more of her

10:38am melinda:

@BrianUK: you're right! He played one of my favorite BG songs not too long ago, Seasons Come, Seasons Go

10:39am annie:

doug feel free to put on a long track, or borrow the "Stalling Tape".

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Dad fell in the bathroom. Maybe a broken rib. They are calling in a portable x-ray.

🥁

10:42am βrian:

Bathrooms are hazards for some older folks. My father had a few falls, always in the bathroom. Hope that turns out ok.

10:42am Uncle Michael:

Ugh, sorry Doug.

10:42am annie:

.... a broken rib... minimal, but still troublesome. yeah, what brian said; hope it's a simple thing

10:43am glenn:

not too many soft surfaces in most bathrooms.

10:44am burke:

My best to your family. Music is the leading pain reliever on the market.

🥁

10:44am βrian:

BTW, I didn't realize "seltzer" was still in current usage. I associate it with classic movies like The Thin Man.

🥁

10:44am doctorjazz:

Any broken bone is no fun, but legs/hips would be much worse likely, hopefully just bad bruising, though.

🥁

10:45am doctorjazz:

Free jazz time? cool!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

I was planning to dash over to see Pops right after the show. We'll see if I have to leave any earlier. (Fingers crossed.)

10:45am Listener Robert:

A broken rib is minimal in some senses, but not usually when it comes to pain -- ouch! Because you can't immobilize it unless you stop breathing.

10:46am Listener Robert:

Playing rugby, I pulled an abdominal oblique by its attachment to a couple of ribs, and that was bad enough.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Do you make house calls, docjazz?

10:47am Parq:

Doug-- oh shit! If it's not one thing, it's another. We will be thinking of you throughout the day.

10:47am ndbob:

All the best Doug!

10:48am Uncle Michael:

check email doug

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for you well wishes, folks. My dad has gone almost three months without falling. He fell about four times in five days back in early September.

10:48am Jeff Golick:

Keith Tippett, of Ovary Lodge and many other lodges, is in my humble opinion, an under-recognized genius. (The mutton-chop sideburns probably did him no favors in this regard.)

10:49am Jeff Golick:

@glenn: Someone should really come out with a line of soft bathroom fixtures.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Are vegetarians allowed to wear mutton chops?

10:50am Jeff Golick:

On the outside, yes.

10:51am still b/p:

Hope your dad's not got much hurt. As Robert mentions, I know anything with ribs means coughing, sneezing, laughing, bending all get uncomfortable. Even when I just wrenched or zoinked the intercostals, I wanted the doc to say yes, a rib was officially cracked or broken -- "Say it IS so, Doc!" -- so the discomfort would be recognized or certified or something and I wasn't just being a baaaaby.

10:52am glenn:

anything rib related takes forever to heal, in my experience anyway.

10:53am glenn:

and DO NOT sneeze.

10:53am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Wat's up, Andrew!

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Sigh. Flustered.

11:03am Jeff Golick:

Absolutely understandable, @Doug.

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

Doug, I am sure that your Dad is tougher than any six of us put together. It is always harder for those looking in. Turn the volume up.

11:09am Little Danny:

G'morning Doug and all

🥁

11:10am βrian:

How tough *is* boiled owl anyway?

11:11am annie:

i know nursing homes are really picky about outside medicines, he may benefit from the homeopathic remedy Arnice Montana for bruising..

🥁

11:13am βrian:

I'm a fan of arnica gel, applied externally. I can't imagine they'd have a problem with that.

11:14am annie:

good, it's great to cut out early, ease your mind

11:14am Listener Robert:

Family 1st, Mr. Schulkind, good call.

11:14am melinda:

Hope things go ok, Doug. Yeah, arnica gel does work.

11:14am annie:

only hitch to the topical cream is that the skin has to be unbroken..

11:14am Uncle Michael:

I'm going to start my show on time. So for 30 minutes, at the end of Doug's show, I'll be fielding REQUESTS!

Get 'em coming at:

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:15am doctorjazz:

Good Luck Doug!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Mostly I just want to get over there so the don't send him to the emergency room.

11:16am Listener Robert:

Not just nursing homes, annie. Now they're not allowing his wife, even though she's a MD, supply General Stubbebine in the hospital with dietary supplements he was doing very well on.

11:17am Listener Robert:

And since they were withdrawn, Gen. Bert is doing much worse. And his condition is life-threatening.

11:18am annie:

i hate the way "modern" medicine has changed

11:18am Listener Robert:

I should've been clearer: Gen. (retired) Bert Stubblebine (correct sp).

11:19am Listener Robert:

You may have heard of him in the lampooning "The Men Who Stare at Goats".

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

I love how Dees sings "somewhat like a boomerang" instead of just "like a boomerang." Interesting that he felt the need to qualify it!

11:21am Jeff Golick:

Good luck and godspeed, @Doug. Best to your pa.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for all the well wishes, my friends.

11:22am Hugo:

My mother gets medication against 0steoporosis (porous bones). Quite common among elderly, particularly women. Risk increases with age. Nothing serious has happened, though she broke her wrist once, but now fully healed.

Best of luck to your dad, Doug.

11:23am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, Brother H.

🥁

11:25am βrian:

He luffs her!

11:28am ndbob:

and good luck!

11:29am Mr C:

Baltimore Soul from the Persians..

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

Doug, lovely choices as ever.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

THANK you, everyone!

11:33am Alex In Illinois:

I was listening, but did not have time. See you next door.

11:33am still b/p:

Best thoughts. Thanks for tending to US alla time.

11:34am Alex In Illinois:

I can hear Uncle Michael.
