Listener comments!

3:41am dutchtheo:

Happy cold turkey from Germany. Won't be able to join the feast irl. Guten appetit, tschüss

8:19am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, warm dutchtheo, or should I say deutchtheo! Enjoy your visit!

🥁

8:51am listener james from westwood:

Icy but clear blue skies over the mall capital of the world, Bergen County, and sending greets and grats to all o' yinz!

🥁

8:52am listener james from westwood:

I like my Bird with Parker House rolls.

🥁

8:52am doctorjazz:

Hey all, greetings and salutations!

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Don't get mauled, Listener James! Stay safe at home and Drummersome it!

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for being so patient, doctorjazz! (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

8:54am glenn:

bedlam, chaos, injury and death.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

In other words, glenn, American commerce.

🥁

8:57am duke:

Happy Black Friday - get all your shopping bargains at WFMU

🥁

8:57am listener james from westwood:

The only place I'd consider venturing this Friday would be up to a friendly book and record store to grab that Kiese Laymon biography, which they featured in a pic on their social media and which has been calling to me since then. Rather give them the dough than the guy invading Long Island City. Plus they have dough(nuts) in return on Record Store Day!

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, duke!

8:58am Sem:

My second high school band was named Bedlam, Chaos, Injury and Death.

Or was that my ex's law firm?
Hello, Doug, the schulkinder everywhere, and Bird-ers avid and otherwise.

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Sem you am!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

One more minute to paydirt!

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Crime doesn't pay, but, apparently, grime does.

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

Dizzee Rascal would concur.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

No Dizzee, Listener James, but plenty of Bird. Coming up.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

(Parker House rolls. Very good.)

🥁

9:04am listener james from westwood:

No Dizzee over here, either, but I am lookin' forward to the spins!

🥁

9:06am doctorjazz:

Vacation time,gotta do some errands but taking the Drummer along.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Spinning class commences. I shall peddle whilst you pedal!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

The guitar player on this track must've been grinning a mile-wide grin while delivering this glorious performance.

9:12am Uncle Michael:

good morning

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Good Michael!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Someone pass the braised parsnips, please.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

More Nigerian guitar heroics!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Careful everyone, you know the rules. If I make five comments in a row, y'all have to put a nickel in the cup.

9:26am still b/p:

Let us sing songs of braise. Got no parsnips though. A portion of stuffing did get carried home with me on the bus across state border for Black Friday lunch bonus.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

You just violated the Mannnn Act, still b/p.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Transporting stuffing portions across state borders for delicious purposes.

9:32am still b/p:

There's gooood dressing...no undressing. But at least two deadly sins might be involved.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Commit three deadly sins and you get the fourth half off.

9:41am David D:

Fire lit!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, brother David D!

9:44am Stanley:

Hi there, nice to be with you....

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Well hello there, Stanley!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Not playing the Jose Feliciano version, but this Charlie Guerrero version is faintly reminiscent.

9:48am still b/p:

My only little Black Friday flicker of commerce is likely to be a run to a discount joint for....wool socks!

Speaking of at third and maybe a fourth....this cover-in-bulk set is fun. A Fire sale! Or (high-quality) Costco cart-load.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Never skimp on the wool socks. My grandmother taught me that. No she didn't.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Just realized something about this set. No sitars! That's hard to do with a 1/2 hour of Light My Fires.

9:51am glenn:

it's much less obnoxious as an instrumental.

9:51am Stanley:

Someone has a sitar version as bed music. Fabio maybe?

9:52am Stanley:

I agree with glenn

9:54am Stanley:

Go Spanky!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

If you gotta be noxious, be obnoxious. I've always said.

9:55am still b/p:

The heat of the Fire is giving Spanky the good kind of vocal fry.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Vocal Fry, with Dan Bodah: Mondays at 7pm (ET) on WFMU!

9:59am Webhamster Henry:

Mary Wing can pick up the slack for you.

9:59am glenn:

the irony is that robbie krieger wrote the song, and bestowed rock god lyricist immortality upon jim morrison.

10:00am Webhamster Henry:

The idea that a song could be picked up and played by so many other kinds of groups is rather foreign to modern experience.

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

If people want to continue the GTDS tradition of Optigan talkover beds, I'm happy to make some using the excellent iOptigan iPad app.

10:02am Stanley:

I was waiting for Pete's talking guitar. We shall never know.

10:02am rob:

if i hear the jr hi profundity lyrics of light my fire one more time i'm gonna kick the dog

10:04am Stanley:

I'd rather hear the schoolboy lyrics version

10:04am Sem:

WHEEE! Yeah, Doug!

🥁

10:04am listener james from westwood:

Hoping they do indeed go for the GTDR-friendly arrangement!

10:05am still b/p:

If we'd heard just one more version, it'd be, like, Light My Menorah.

10:05am Listener Robert:

Tell 'em you get your Shabbos out of the way early, DS.

10:06am glenn:

not the dog. kick sarah huckabee instead.

10:08am Stanley:

Phew! After the first bar of this, I thought we were going to be 'treated' to endless versions of 'Summertime'

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@rob
Has "pyre" every been used in lyrics, before or since?

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
I did an hour of Summertime a little over three years ago: wfmu.org...

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Robert
I like the way you think, Sir!

10:10am Stanley:

Well, at least you got it out of your system, Doug.

10:10am still b/p:

"Def" - initely: "Pyre....some...sugar...on meeeeee!"

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Next week, an hour of Wintertime.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

I heard this D.B. Shrier Quartet tune on Little Danny's Cool Blue Flame show two Thursdays ago, and it KNOCKED. ME. OUT.

10:16am Sem:

Following comprehensive list of songs with the word "pyre" compliments of Richard (I'm on FIRE!" Pyre.
www.lyrics.com...

10:27am still b/p:

There's a whole lotta 21st Century Schizoid Man covers in that list...if sometime you want to assemble another bouquet/set of one song/many takes. That song in multiple would make an...unusual Drummer show.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe sometime in the 22nd century, still b/p.

10:30am Sem:

heh.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

After Billie Holiday, Jeanne Lee is my next most beloved vocal artist.

10:34am hyde:

helllooooo

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Hy, hyde!

10:45am Wendy del Formaggio:

Doug! Happy post-Thanksgiving!

🥁

10:47am doctorjazz:

Pretty good sound for one of these live Bird recordings.
(Searched a bit for that Schrier album... saw 1 copy that sold for about $500...)

10:49am hyde:

huh, apparently the Hi-Hat was at the site of the Harriet Tubman house in Boston

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
It's worth $500 to me, though I'd never cough that amount up.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@hyde
Cool. A deeply rich factoid right there.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Oh, hey! Wendy del Formaggio is here! Hoo-ray!

10:54am annie:

just came back from breakfast,had a huge treat of being able to ogle a round-body ukelele, hand-made polished and carved wood... the inlay was in the design of an owl; no camera, but it DID happen. good morning everyone!

10:54am Wendy del Formaggio:

Good morning, Annie!

10:55am annie:

hi wendy!!!!!!

10:55am thedunkel:

Happy Turkey Festival Day Mr. Drummer!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

I always knew you were a ukelele ogler, annie!

10:56am thedunkel:

hellllo wendy!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

The Bird is still flowing, thedunkel!

10:56am Wendy del Formaggio:

Hey, it's thedunkel! Welcome to the party!

10:58am annie:

well, i'm more of a leg-man, but i WILL turn the quick eye at a finely-turned uke, too

10:59am mauri:

snow coming down, hot chocolate and a thing called jazz. hey there!

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

What's the story, mauri!

11:00am annie:

there's a snow-sky here, too... hot chocolate sounds good!!!

11:01am mauri:

it's that time to go crazy about klementines

11:03am Wendy del Formaggio:

Up here the skies are clear as a bell. It's cold, though! Warmer than yesterday, which isn't saying much because it was 16 out, but I'll take what I can get. At least I get to work inside. Writing writing writing.

11:04am Rich in Washington:

Happy Leftover Turkey and Mashed Potatoes Day to you and yours Doug!

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Rich in WA. And welcome to the family!!!

11:06am Rich in Washington:

Thank you! Hope I don't let the team down in some dumb way.

🥁

11:07am listener james from westwood:

This is the way to listen; all of the music and none of the cig smoke!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone, Rich in Washington is joining WFMU's new stream, Sheena's Jungle Room! Rich, tell us when your show will be airing.

11:09am still b/p:

And no covahhhhh chahge for the listenin' pahty! What a bahgain!

11:11am Rich in Washington:

It will be fridays at 7pm, but not quite this week.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Fantastic, Rich. Never fail to drop by here on Friday mornings and let people know!

🥁

11:14am listener james from westwood:

Master list-maker at work here!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Tahini dips? Tahini dips!

🥁

11:17am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Did somebody say tahini?

11:17am hyde:

@Rich cool! will check it out

11:17am Listener Robert:

Nobody could make me sick-laugh better than Joe Frank.

11:17am annie:

this is cheerful!!!

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Dig the image I used to grace my 2012 Thanksgiving show: wfmu.org...

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Yay! Granny Spicy Tuna is here!

🥁

11:20am Granny Spicy Tuna:

I am here! I hear here. A sprightly marching tune surging through my American veins!

11:20am Rich in Washington:

This is nuts! Wonderful!

🥁

11:21am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Hail Satan!

11:22am still b/p:

Hail Stan!

11:23am hyde:

exciting personal milestone: my LP's have been in storage for two years, but today they come out of the boxes and go back on shelves!

🥁

11:23am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Hail Santa?

11:23am rw:

Morning!

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Are Dubya!

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@hyde
Oh wow, that is something to give thanks for!

🥁

11:25am listener james from westwood:

Should be backed w/ "National Brotherhood Week"!

🥁

11:26am listener james from westwood:

Also, narrator here = Paul Frees?

11:26am Sem:

Stan the Man.

11:26am hyde:

@Doug you betcha.

11:27am Funky16Corners:

Greetings all! Sorry I'm late. Woke up late, went out to get breakfast then got involved in an insane reconfiguration project in my son's room. But I'm here now.

🥁

11:27am listener james from westwood:

No mistakin' Guaraldi!

11:27am Stanley:

I had an Indian for lunch last week!

11:27am still b/p:

My brother and his wife and young kids stopped at the cold, cold Plymouth waterfront yesterday morning, aaaaaand....no Mayflower. Ship's away for restoration work. Cold and disappointed.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Sweet man Vince seems to finally be getting his due, Listener James.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

@Funky16Corners
"Woke up late." GIVE THANKS FOR THAT!

11:28am Wendy del Formaggio:

"I got a rock!"
Oh wait. Wrong Charlie Brown holiday special...

11:29am still b/p:

Naked Feast!

11:29am Funky16Corners:

Ah yes, folksy Old Bull Lee.

11:30am Rich in Washington:

This is the only cranky uncle monolog I approve of every thanksgiving.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Apologies for the utterance of the unutterable N-word from Mr. Offensive.

🥁

11:30am Granny Spicy Tuna:

I'm imagining Uncle Bill offering these thanks at the Peanuts supper table. The only adult voice that comes in clear.

11:30am Sem:

Haha, Rich. Agreed.

11:31am Sem:

"Alright, let's see your arms."

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Context is everything, Doug.

11:31am Funky16Corners:

Hebert Huncke at all the pie...

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Speaking of context...and leftovers... Come see about me. Top of the hour:

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am Rich in Washington:

@Granny Spicy Tuna: That's exactly what I thought - I'd stepped out of the room to refill my java to the Vince Guaraldi music and then heard old Bill's croaky voice when I returned.

11:32am still b/p:

Snoopy loves Neal Cassady stories.

11:33am Rich in Washington:

Hello, Uncle Michael! Is there any leftover gravy? Gravy's the glue that holds the leftovers together.

11:33am annie:

there is very little radio like this anymore, this lovely random holiday audio homage ... so glad i tuned in..

11:34am Funky16Corners:

Linus Van Pelt was at the wheel on the bus to never never land

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Truth be told, context isn't enough. I should either retire WS Burroughs or at least bleep it.

🥁

11:34am listener james from westwood:

"Why is it that you never get laid on Thanksgiving? I think it's because all the coats are on the bed." —George Carlin

11:35am Rich in Washington:

An enormous black centipede suddenly rushes into the room, spilling the pretzels and jelly beans everywhere.

11:35am Uncle Michael:

I appreciate your pure heart. I think Huck Finn should be read aloud. I think it's essential.

11:35am Rich in Washington:

Lucy to Linus: Let me hang you...

Sorry. That was too much.

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and those giving thanks.

11:37am Uncle Michael:

No pressure.

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

That's a harp!

11:38am Wendy del Formaggio:

I'm doing Thanksgiving in VT, too, but I'm not in a cabin in the woods with a wood-stove. I'm in a rented 1920s-era Cape with an oil furnace in the "suburbs" of a town with a population of just over 12K. It's still pretty fabulous.

11:39am Monica:

Doug! Giving thanks for all you do every day, every week, every year to make Give the Drummer Radio my numero uno destination!

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Thankful for you, my dear Brian in UK!

11:39am Uncle Michael:

My email filter for the phrase "black friday" is working a treat...and overtime.

11:39am thedunkel:

The miracles - wonderful to hear this chilly morning!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Oh wow, Monica! You are the very best! I adore having you along for the ride!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Reasons to be cheerful (and thankful), part 3: Uncle Michael is next with Hinky Dinky Time! Don't go anywhere (unless you gotta).

Let's all rendezvous at

11:44am Funky16Corners:

Digging this sweet soul Doug

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

What an unsurprising turn of events, Funky16Corners!

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

This is not the esteemed pedal steel player.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Give him time, Brian in UK. He could learn.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Doug, fingers crossed for every Friday.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

And eyes. And toes. And hot buns, Brian in UK!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug! See you all soon.

11:56am Rich in Washington:

Thanks for a great show, Doug! See you on the flip flop!

11:57am Sem:

Thank you, Doug, for hosting this and every Friday morning Drummer Stream listening party. See you and all later

11:57am still b/p:

I was very thankful on my Thanksgiving ride home because I finally went to my FMU favorites list and had a really fun taste of this and that while riding along on a dark bus. A large number of the favorited tracks are from Drummer stream shows, of course. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

See you Rich, my Friday brother! See you all again soon, my exalted radio family!

11:58am Monica:

If these are leftovers, fix me up another plate! Thanks again, Doug!

11:58am annie:

thanks doug!!!!

11:59am Funky16Corners:

Thanks for fattening my want-list Schulkind! I pulled the trigger on a copy of that Al Perkins and added a few others to saved search.

🥁

12:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

Thanks for another great set, Doug. Be well, everyone.

12:00pm hyde:

thanks!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

I am richer for your presence, even if you are poorer, Funky16Corners.

Big huge sloppy wet kisses of thanks to all of you!

12:01pm rw:

Thank you Doug! Always.

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Doug! Sweeter than pumpkin pie and less taxing on the waistband!

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Are you saying pumpkin pie is a terrible thing to waist?

12:07pm Welsh Rarebit:

I was actually thinking about this theme this morning. Spooked out now.

12:07pm Welsh Rarebit:
