🥁

9:17am doctorjazz:

Hi Drummers!

9:18am still b/p:

9:18am mauri:

hellou champpions

9:19am Webhamster Henry:

9:28am joe:

'ello folks

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Yay! It's joe!

9:33am mauri:

Sem of spring! How are you?

9:34am davefromtoronto:

i had a roommate years ago who studied tabla and he used to drive me crazy practising his patterns all day.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@davefromtoronto
I can think of worse roommate annoyances.

9:38am Sem:

In the garden finally, mauri. All good there?

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Did he drink straight from the milk carton? Let his pet tarantula out for "exercise"?

9:40am davefromtoronto:

you're right - it could've been bagpipes!

9:42am davefromtoronto:

no but he used to pick his nose and flick it onto the walls.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

He was just feeding his tarantula.

🥁

9:48am Artie:

Greetings, Drummersomers! @ausmanx - Holy Cow!

🥁

9:59am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and playmates.
.

10:00am Webhamster Henry:

Oy Doug, I was listening just yesterday to my Pop Songs on Sitar recording.

10:02am Sem:

Greets, BiUK.

10:03am listener Rey:

Hey all you drum-a-rooneys. Hope everyone is feeling all reet

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Brian in UK!

@Webhamster Henry
Oy Doug is actually my legally observed first name.

10:04am sinner:

Hallelujah!

10:06am Mr C:

Apropos of nothing, did you know former Pacific Jazz artist Curtis Amy was married to Merry Clayton? I did not until yesterday.

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Sem, slowly settling in. Just returned from the osteopath, been attacking the garden too madly.

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

There was a Japanese bloke who played wooden guitar.

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Brother sinner!

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
That's news to me, Sir!

10:09am Listener Gregory:

Is "wooden guitar" the same as the usual acoustic guitar, or is there more tree involved?

🥁

10:09am Sam Segal:

Doug and other folks, HELLO!

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

...Is there more tree involved?...

Listener Gregory Philosopher King!

Howdy, Comrade Segal!

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Sem, cats have been released into the garden. First time proper since we got here
in over three weeks, they had a bad case of cabin fever. Trying to figure what to do with all this space.

10:15am Sem:

Poor cats! I guess you will see what kind of hunters they are. I suppose Spencer is happy w/ a new walking route.

🥁

10:16am Brian in UK:

You bet, and now with stock fencing, should be beagle proof.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Beagle proof. That's how I like my whisky.

10:20am Sem:

Haha, famous last, hopeful dog owner words.

10:20am davefromtoronto:

reminds me of capt kennedy by neil y

10:23am northguineahills:

I've only heard the Pentangle version of this (may be some older ones as well).

10:24am Listener Gregory:

Is this a wooden piano?

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Wooden you like to know, LG.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Pleased to read ya, northguineahills!

10:28am Listener Gregory:

Doug, I'm going to have a witty response to your very witty reply, but probably not for a while. Check this page in a few weeks.

10:31am Listener Gregory:

"Long a-growing" sounded awfully familiar. A little research shows that I know it from The Basement Tapes, there known as "Young but Daily Growing." fwiw

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

Thank God someone's doing a little research around here!

10:34am Dean:

Is there a psychoanalyst in the house? A dream last night involved an encounter with a woodshedding Keith Moon. When he finished, he dropped his sticks. I asked if I could keep them. He approved.

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

I dreamt last night that I had two baby goats. Good morning, Dean!

10:36am Listener Gregory:

@Dean. I bet they were wooden sticks, too.

10:37am Dean:

@LG: They were, and narrow.

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
I have half a mind to play Dizzy Gillespie's "Woody'n You" next.

🥁

10:39am Brian in UK:

@Doug are you kidding?

🥁

10:40am JtotheK:

hi doug, good morning everyone.

10:40am Dean:

Then you can play Alan Broadbent's "Woody 'n' Me."

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheeverlovinK!

🥁

10:41am dutchtheo:

Seven yellow gypsies was also "done" by Mr Dylan as Black Jack Davey and by the White Stripes a.o.. press the speaker: translate.google.com...

10:41am Jeff Golick:

I gotta get to work earlier. And by "work," I mean this show. And also work.

10:44am Listener Gregory:

Wooden Guthrie is one of my favorite folk singers.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Khalil Gibran said that work was love made visible. The Drummer Prophet says that love is work made audible.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
I have selected my next talkover track in your honor.

🥁

10:48am Brian in UK:

Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beech Boys.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

That song was very poplar.

Oh boy, here we go...

10:49am Listener Gregory:

@Doug. Thanks. Payback is a beech.

10:49am Listener Gregory:

Whoops, @Brian, you beat me to it!

10:50am Dean:

You mean Wooden It Be Nice, @Brian in UK?

10:50am Dean:

(I was in a short-lived band called Arbor Day.)

10:50am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

Aloha drumbassadors

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Well hello there, ocJ!

10:51am Jeff Golick:

What a band this is.

10:52am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

Keep humping drummedaries

🥁

10:53am Brian in UK:

@Dean I took it as read that it would be understood by these fine listeners.

🥁

10:54am Brian in UK:

I tried unsuccessfully last week to buy a spark plug.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Llama drama ding-dong, ocJ!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Are you referring to the Andrew Cyrille cut? If so...

David Murray (ts, bc), Oliver Lake (as), Adegoke Steve Colson (p), Fred Hopkins (b), Andrew Cyrille (d), Mor Thiam (p)

10:55am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

I looked up your name DJ
Etymology
From Schule (“school”) +‎ Kind (“child”).
An appropriate name for a music historian... a scholar of sound... a clerk of clicks and clacks...

10:55am Mark Hurst:

Hi Doug & other good people! Enjoying the show.

10:57am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

A Sherpa of shuffles and shakes

10:57am Uncle Michael:

Sorry for the silence. I've been doing housework since breakfast. This set has been totally killer.

10:58am Dean:

I've never heard Cyrille live (nor Keith Moon, for that matter, see above). But the first Jimmy Smith show I ever attended, at the old site of Hollywood's Catalina Bar & Grill, was to have included him. Jimmy announced at the outset that Cyrille couldn't make it, and now I can't remember who sat in.

10:58am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

A rabbi of riffs

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Mark Hurst!

Y'all should be devouring Mark's Techtonic show over on the FMU mothership. Mondays, 6-7pm (ET):

wfmu.org...

10:58am Jeff Golick:

(That's the one!)

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Silent Uncle!

Keep 'em coming, ocJ! My ego is expanding with each addition.

🥁

10:59am Brian in UK:

Now the fun starts, fitting a new inner tube to the wheelbarrow.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

May the Fifth Anniversary be with you, Uncle Michael!

11:00am Mark Hurst:

Shucks, thanks, Doug. Fridays are made extra excellent with your show - and then continuing into Uncle Michael's.

11:00am Dean:

Speaking of kinder, I guess Hinky Dinky Time will head to kindergarten this fall?

11:01am David D:

This is putting a spark in my day

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

Comrade DD!

11:03am Listener Gregory:

Billy Wooden! Nice.

11:04am Jeff Golick:

(Evidence reissued that Cyrille record, under his name.)

11:05am Dean:

Evidence was the label. Venus is (also?) a label out of Japan. I have a handful of Ken Peplowski LPs on that Venus. Amazing sound quality.

11:06am Dean:

It is indeed the same Venus! Based in a record store in Tokyo, I think.

11:06am coelacanth∅:

greetings Doug and punishing drummers

🥁

11:06am duke:

Enjoy your well earned vacation

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

I will impose a salary deduction to anyone out there not doing the Shika-Shika!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard-o, coelacanth∅!

11:08am Stanley:

So that's what I'm doing?

11:08am Dean:

Er, looks like I only corroborated evidence initially proffered by Jeff G.

11:09am coelacanth∅:

i can handle a celery deduction, if it's not too extreme.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Apparently, those Evidence reissues of the Sun Ra records are sonically for shit. The newly remastered releases are pristine (as pristine as possible) and gorgeous.

🥁

11:09am doctorjazz:

Haven't seen Ken Peplowski on Venus records, have a few on Concord (which was considered a good sounding label for US issues). Cool find!

11:09am own crabapplesatellite Johnzon:

I might be just about alliterated out... governor of grooves?

11:12am Dean:

Yeah, Peplowski is a prolific dude. Some of his more recent releases are on smaller labels, but they're quite good. The Venus stuff is just so well engineered and mastered.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

@ocJ
I've always like Kool & the Gang's description:

"We're scientists of sound, mathematically putting it down!"

11:14am coelacanth∅:

Doug do you happen to know, without going to extra trouble, what song played last before your opening track this morning?
(i was listening early but didn't say hi. i thought i was going back to sleep)

11:15am sinner:

man this is funky (Shika-Shika)

🥁

11:15am doctorjazz:

These guitars always make me smile!

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth∅
That track right before my opening theme was Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'awu by K. Frimpong & His Cubanos Fiestas.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Ghana's Alex Konadu released recordings under many different names. Such as these...

Alex Konadu's Band, Alex Konadu's Band One Man "1000", Alex Konadu's Band One Man 1000, Alex Konadu's Band One Man Thousand, Alex Konadu's Int. Band, Alex Konadu's International Band, Alex Konadu's International Band Of Ghana, Alex Konadus Band International Of Ghana, Kanadu Dance Band Of Ghana, Konadu´s Band Of Ghana, Konadu´s Guitar Band, Konadu's Band, Konadu's Guitar Band, Konadu's Int. Band Of Ghana, The Wonderful Konadu's Band, Wonderful Alex Konadu's Band, Wonderful Alex Konadu's Band (One Man Thousand), Wonderful Konadu's Band

11:19am coelacanth∅:

thanks Doug! good stuff.
and... if anyone can go see Thomas Mapfumo, who's touring apparently DO IT!

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Mapfumo is a revolutionary hero, and also a fine musical artist.

🥁

11:21am dutchtheo:

Doug, will they pay you some hush money next week, for staying silent? I think the song was: Cruel Frederick - Ms. Pines @coelacanth∅

11:21am coelacanth∅:

yes all of that - and credited with inventing chimurenga.
...and he's magic!

🥁

11:23am dutchtheo:

Ebo taylor and Orlando Julius are in town next month!

11:23am coelacanth∅:

theo, Thanks! Doug got it already though (^)

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

Ironic that Thomas used to sing Zanu, Zanu. Times change and power corrupts.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo
I have some Cruel Frederick around here somewhere.

11:27am rw:

Good morning! It's Friday. Doug, is that you with the tambourine helmet?

11:27am Uncle Michael:

I hope you'll all attend Hinky Dinky Time's fifth birthday party at the top of the hour. Your presence is the only present I seek.

www.wfmu.org...

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

@rw
Tambourine Helmet was the name of my first band in high school.

11:29am annie:

11:34am Sem:

Favourited the whole she-bang, MSW Schulkind. Much obliged for such delightful work made audible.

11:37am coelacanth∅:

Brian - ironic and sad. and commendable that he changed his tune regarding them.

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

The pleasure is entirely mine, Sem! OK, maybe not entirely.

11:41am northguineahills:

Been tre busy, have a backload of work after moving the office in the last week.

11:44am northguineahills:

but I've been here the whole (read: most) of the time.

11:46am Mr C:

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Never enough Milton Campbells, Mr C.

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Crazy About You Hinky! Uncle Michael's sublime radio show is up next on the Drummer Stream. Go have a tinkle, then come running back to Hinky Dinky Time!

Playlist: wfmu.org...

11:48am Mr C:

11:48am Uncle Michael:

Hinkle Tinkle Time
