9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Oops! First mistake. João Tudella is from Mozambique, not Angola.

🥁

9:20am listener james from westwood:

Supposed to get to 44 with a bullet today in northern NJ, which is welcome but still seems abnormally warm for late Jan.

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

This is a wonderful atmospheric record.

9:22am annie:

it's odd LJ, here the temps are much cooler than they normally have been. if we're trading zones, then i may move back to NY, NOT

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

One of our daughters went to the Azores and Lisbon, whilst there went to the Fado Museum and bought me a comp of old Fado music. An eyeopener.

9:27am melinda:

44 feels warm for January here too

🥁

9:27am listener james from westwood:

Super like this Super Mama!

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Wonderful stratosphere music, Brian in UK

9:28am guy mauve:

We have freezing, or just above in Toronto.

Downright balmy.

9:28am Paul Sherratt:

Here in the UK the cost of scotch pancakes has just increased by 33%. Anything happening over your way?

9:31am Flash Strap:

morning drummers

beautiful music doug

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Paul Sherratt is here, everyone! And now, Flash Strap. The beautiful people are here!

🥁

9:33am Brian in UK:

Paul, have you told your 25 million Twitters followers?

9:35am Alex In Illinois:

Hi! I have been enjoying this music from the start of today's show, but I have been too busy with work so far to let yo know until now.

9:37am Paul Sherratt:

Brian, I have. And the perpetrators at M&S. You can only take so much ...

9:39am Stanley:

I'm here, beautiful as ever!

9:43am Dave in Vermont:

You are beautiful as ever, Stanley.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

My dear friends, please meet and appreciate Mr. Alan Jabbour:
blogs.loc.gov...

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Here is a the text that accompanied the Hammons Family recordings: www.loc.gov...

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

And HELLO AND WELCOME to Stanley and Alex in Illinois!

9:47am Dave in Vermont:

Thanks for this, Doug.

9:47am Flash Strap:

what a happy looking guy he was

🥁

9:48am Brian in UK:

Doug, would the Hammons be the American equivalent of the Coppers of Rottingdean?

9:50am mauri:

Good day gentlemen and gentlewomen.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Interesting comparison. I have that Topic release with the Coppers. So magnificent.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
Every picture I've ever seen of Jabbour carries that warm smile.

Greetings, gentlemauri!

🥁

9:53am Artie Haywire:

All suited up and ready to resist. Let's Go!!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

"He lived under a rock." That is Alan Jabbour's voice.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

The Haywire, Our!

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

You can hear the crickets in the background of this recording. I LOVE that.

9:57am annie:

right out of foxfire books...

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

What an honor it is to be allowed into the lives of these good people.

9:59am Uncle Michael:

I once got lost in my car on the Tron landscape. It was terrifying.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

You were lost but now you're found, Uncle Michael. Was blind but now you see.

10:01am annie:

Wilma Dykeman wrote a novel based on people's lives in western carolina, and the main character made a temporary home in an overhang while her cabin was being built. she describes in such wonderful detail all that encompassed. wow.. what a life!!

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

America is now so full of hatred. I am ashamed. I am ashamed.

10:06am guy mauve:

We have to pass through the hatred to attain something better, though.

I know, easy for me to say.

Music helps.

10:06am annie:

i was teling my housemate that i think there hasn't been this much division in our contry since the civil war.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

"That's a chicken, then." That's Alan again.

10:11am annie:

that old Burl Ives tune: "i gave my love a cherry without a stone"

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

It is the same hatred now as then, annie. And the same struggle. If you align the map of the free states/slaveholding states at the start of the Civil War with the electoral map of the 2008 presidential election

it is the exact same map.

10:14am annie:

yes it is doug, you're right..guess we have to relearn a lesson of some kind.. man, cut my eye-teeth one some of these songs..

10:15am ♥ Ike♥:

www.newyorker.com...

10:16am annie:

a wonderful diary which i love is "Rural Hours" written by susan cooper, daughter of the writer JFenimore.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Alan Jabbour on fiddle, coming up next.

10:17am Alex In Illinois:

Now, West Virginia split off from Virginia, to join the Union, so West Virginia was not a Confederate state.

10:19am Little Danny:

I was just looking at the new WFMU swag section and "Jimmy Johnson" was perfectly synced with the pointing hippie horde

10:19am annie:

there were rifts from the tippy-top north to the deep south. it was an ugly time.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

You're right, Alex.

10:19am Little Danny:

G'morning everyone!

10:21am guy mauve:

Mr Jabbour had a wonderful voice.

Almost like Yogi Bear is speaking.

10:21am Dave in Vermont:

has anyone seen my earbuds?

10:24am annie:

in that drawer to your left dave

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

@guy mauve
I tried to find a performance with Jabbour singing to play. I would love to hear his singing voice.

10:27am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! hi-fis & high fives!

10:28am Paul Sherratt:

Privilege to hear that set, Doug.
Brian when are coming up to visit the current political epicentre of Little England ?

10:28am Dave in Vermont:

I found them, thanks for your support.

10:28am Flash Strap:

HOLY SHIT

GOOD FLAMENCO

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

holland oooooooooats!

I am privileged for your having heard it, Paul.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

More holy shit coming, Flash Strap.

10:32am Flash Strap:

I can barely keep myself from being knocked flat, Doug

i'm strugglin'

10:33am Jeff g.:

Hi Doug, folks. It's my birthday today, and I'm hitting the town with my lady. Just wanted to quickly alight here to say thanks for this oasis of sound and good sense. And even better people.

xo

10:33am AndrewC.:

The only flamenco records I see in the charity shops in the uk are by Manitas De Plata. Is he good flamenco? Or just something for the tourists... Was extremely successfull according to wikipedia. Doesn't sound much like what I'm hearing now I must confess.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Why fight it. Save the resistance for... other things.

Destination: BIRTHDAY! Here's some cake for yer ears, Jeff Golick!

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

Paul, w/c 28th Feb. Not sure of exact dates yet,

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

Doug, this show feels like some sort of redemption special.

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

This is some deep Flamenco as Jeff Golick might say.
Happy Birthday, old bean.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

This fellow's name was Fernando Fernández Monje. But his stage name was Terremoto de Jerez. Jerez is a region Andalusia in Spain. And Terremoto means earthquake.

The Earthquake of Jerez.

Now THAT is a badass stage name!

10:42am Flash Strap:

The Earthquake! That explains why I am laid out on the floor!

10:42am Jeff g.:

Thanks, Doug! Brian!

10:43am annie:

there is so much heart in some singing that it's unbearable to listen to. but then, it feels so good

10:45am annie:

human-kind's wolf howl

10:45am AndrewC.:

I got some Brandy De Jerez for Christmas. Yum.

🥁

10:47am Brian in UK:

Jerez is where Sherry comes from. A delicious aperitif.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

I feel like throwing up.

"Emmett Till" is now trending on Twitter. I don't have the time or attention to pay to it, but it appears that the white woman who accused Mr. Till of flirting with her — has now admitted she made the whole thing up.

This is, of course, no surprise to anyone. But it is desperately sickening.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, AndrewC! (Sorry to introduce such a downer just there. Your presence is a wonderful thing.)

10:51am melinda:

I wonder why she is coming forth now.

10:52am melinda:

Also, thanks for the Hammons and flamenco.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@melinda
My pleasure!

10:53am Stanley:

Nice segue. Mmmmmm

10:55am AndrewC.:

I think my brandy is distilled sherry as opposed to distilled wine.

🥁

10:56am βrian:

Can't wait for the Orange Bloviator just admit he made it all up.

🥁

10:56am Brian in UK:

It only took thirty years to convict Medger Evers' murderer.

10:57am Flash Strap:

she admitted it in some intimate conversations, for a new book about the incident. Very interesting woman, in a way. Spent most of her life, post-event, pretty secluded. Worth a read: www.vanityfair.com...

10:58am guy mauve:

The Cheeto knows he is out of his depth.

Just look at the pictures.

10:59am Parq:

"Till entered the store and reportedly made ugly remarks and grabbed Carolyn Bryant by the waist, saying he’d been with white women before. "
* * *
"'I want to tell you' what happened that day at the store, Donham tells Tyson in the opening chapter. 'Honestly, I just don’t remember. It was 50 years ago. You tell these stories for so long that they seem true, but that part (the grabbing of the waist) is not true.'"

www.mystatesman.com...

11:01am Flash Strap:

such a heinous lie, unforgivable that she stuck to it for any length of time. unforgivable.

11:02am guy mauve:

I saw Mr Bang perform this at the Ottawa Jazz Festival with Bern Nix.

Rather transporting, it was.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Medgar's murderer, Byron De La Beckwith, died in prison. Like a lowdown pig. (No offense to pigs, mind you.)

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Parq! Here's to another 30 years, Sir.

🥁

11:05am Brian in UK:

Will there be a new protest movement forming?

🥁

11:05am Brian in UK:

By that I mean a musical one.

11:06am Dave in Vermont:

I mentioned this last night, but i saw I Am Not Your Negro last night - Very powerful and highly recommended.

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

It is hard, nay impossible, to explain or understand how alien it feels to hear Trump or anyone speak the way they do.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

These sorts of lies are sins we can never, must never, recover from. It is who we are.

@Dave in Vermont
James Baldwin is my touchstone. I couldn't hold him in higher regard.

11:09am northguineahills:

Brain come out of the fog...Wait, is that Billy Bang?!! I saw him in 2001 at Stonewall. Small, intimate audience, it was amazing.

11:15am Lore:

Some nice interviews with Bang on youtube, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwVibikdN74

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

If I remember now, ALL of the musicians on Billy Bang's Vietnam: The Aftermath LP were Vietnam vets.

11:15am Kris Holmes:

longineu parsons shreds, new to me

11:16am Carmichael:

Hey Friday Drummers and that guy Doug leading the charge.

We have a typically stupid hate-filled news item here in Sacramento. A local brewery (12 Rounds) owner spewed a typical pro-Trump, anti-female and anti-minority series of barrages on his personal Facebook page, where he also lists his occupation. Someone connected the dots and and screen-grabbed his months worth of postings and put them on his company page. It has since gone viral, with patrons, suppliers and restaurants all cancelling their connections to him. Massive backlash, and his business will likely not survive. Words have consequences, especially on social media.

11:16am Jeff g.:

John Edgar Wideman's new book deals with Till's father's story, inter alia. There's a big story on JEW (huh that's kinda funny) in this weekend's NYTMag.

🥁

11:16am βrian:

"longineu parsons shreds" is correct. Please enter.

🥁

11:17am βrian:

@Carmichael: Ameni.

11:17am Jeff g.:

(I'll bet Wideman didn't get a lot of shirts monogrammed.)

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Lore
You and your loving knowledge are to be exalted.

Howdy, Carmichael! Thanks for the hate update.

@Jeff Golick
Wideman is a wonderful writer.

11:21am Dean:

Hate and beer don't (or shouldn't) mix.

11:22am Parq:

Carmichael, it constantly amazes me that people still think you can put something out on social media and maintain full control of where it goes from there.

11:22am annie:

carm there was a similar thing here, too, google ""Waking LIfe cafe for this city, those two guys DID lose thier business..

11:25am Jeff g.:

@Doug: one of my faves. You ever read SENT FOR YOU YESTERDAY? Lord.

This set takes the cake!

11:25am Flash Strap:

@annie: as a fellow Carolinian, i especially enjoyed those two idiots getting their stupid prizes

fuck those guys. redpillers, weren't they?

11:28am melinda:

love this Spaceheads

11:29am Kris Holmes:

did y'all hear about that time Egon & Madlib bought all the records & master tapes from Stanton Davis' storage unit?

11:29am northguineahills:

what Dean and melinda said!

11:29am Jeff g.:

Has this been talkover bed, @Doug? My lizard brain keeps expecting you to cut in...

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

I'll give you your cake back, Jeff.

11:30am northguineahills:

Woah, Kris, that's amazing!

11:31am Kris Holmes:

yeah it was bananas the stuff they got

11:31am Mr C:

Stanton Davis was a local Boston jazz hero when I was in college and afterward, as evidenced by Ghetto Mysticism Band..

🥁

11:32am listener james from westwood:

Rager of a set!

11:34am Uncle Michael:

Meet me in my hidey-hole at the top of the hour?

www.wfmu.org...

11:34am Jeff g.:

Stay Wolk!

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Someone mention bananas? I've got the hongries.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C, can you enlighten on Joey Kingfish? I know nuttin'!

11:36am ɨkɛ:

Douglas Wolk's show on FMU was great. Archives here: wfmu.org...

11:37am LIstener Gregory:

One of my students said that I eat bananas "like an angel." You know, you have to take compliments wherever you get them.

11:37am Kris Holmes:

it's a unissued at the time cover of a steve mancha track, detroit soul.

11:38am Mr C:

Can't help you with Fish Doug. Good record though...

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Just got an email from a real estate agent in Maryland. The closing just finished on my parents' house. We now will have enough $ to pay rent for my father's assisted living until he's 100. (Two and a half more years.)

🥁

11:38am doctorjazz:

SOUL SET!!!

🥁

11:39am doctorjazz:

(catching up to my 100 year old mother in law, good to hear it went well).

11:40am Kris Holmes:

this curly moore is maybe the only sans 45 i don't have

11:40am ɨkɛ:

There are tons of great shows on FMU but nothing quite like that show. Or the Floating Pad with Crowe. Or, or, or....

🥁

11:41am JtotheK:

curly moore was great! hi everyone.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Can I send you the MP3, Kris. Or would you prefer the live animal?

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey hey, it's JtotheK!

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Malai Kofta Kashmiri is on my mind.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

And ɨkɛ is here! Hi ɨkɛ!

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

Doug, some consolation metered by ambivalence.

11:43am Carmichael:

Holy moly, Doug. You have a hale and hearty father! Is he trying to live forever?!?

11:43am annie:

ok, cutting out early, y'all. finally getting achance to treat my ever-suffering taxi lady out for lunch. all those 5-dollar rides and she deserves a break.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

annie, wrap up warm.

11:44am Kris Holmes:

i have mp3 & CD of it, currently watching the 45 on ebay, currently at $224 with less than 24hours left

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Doug, phew some show. Thanks.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

My Dad will often say "I'm shooting for 100," and I usually respond, "I hope you have good aim."

🥁

11:46am βrian:

There's no march this weekend. Now what am I gonna do?

🥁

11:47am JtotheK:

(expletive deleted) YES! to this Oracles.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
This program is a grain of sand of love. I just hope it gets stuck in a lot of butt cracks.

11:47am Dean:

Cantankerous neighbor of my mother, who will reach 90 in April, often tells her, "Only the good die young."

🥁

11:49am JtotheK:

Re: The Oracles 45 - this was a record that area soul DJ (now deceased, sniffles...) would spin on his program. So great to hear it today.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Glad to reconnect you with a happy memory, JtotheK!

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Doug, in that case I will bring my weekly bath forward from Sunday to this evening!

11:51am Carmichael:

My dad made it to 90. I think it took God a while to warm up to the idea of dad hanging around with him.

11:51am Dean:

Re: Joey Kingfish, an entry in copyright register from 1964 for SOMEDAY, w & m Joey Kingfish, pseud. Joseph Stribling, (c) Thelma's Pub. Co.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Nice detective work, Dean! Thanks!

11:52am LIstener Gregory:

I'll drink to this.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, the great Tommy Tate, who died one week ago today.

11:52am Flash Strap:

it's in my buttcrack Doug. no outdoor shower could wash it off, not even if I take off my swimsuit

11:54am Mr C:

Tommy Tate's "School of Life" is a tremendous song (btw)

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

This show is an earritant, Flash Strap.

11:55am Mr C:

It looks like Joey Kingfish is from Detroit (btw)

11:56am Dean:

...where memorial concerts in his honor are performed: http://www.bluesphotosbydonmcghee.com/keyword/kingfish/
