It's good to be BACK, baby!

9:01am mauri:

I pay a trainticket and it doesnt show in the app but the moneys gone... Working for the railroad must be difficult.

HEY DOUG!

It's mauri! Hi mauri!

Hey mauri, Disney runs our trains over here.

🥁

♥ 9:04am Alex In Illinois:

Hello!

♥ 9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Alex in Ill-a-Noise!

🥁

♥ 9:08am Brian in UK:

This sounds like a Kurosawa film before he made films.

🥁

♥ 9:09am Sem:

And before he knew what his face looked like before his birth.

Hello, Doug, all.

9:10am Thatchmo:

Thatchmo in the hizzie for Doug's Christmas miracle!

♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, aboard, Sem!

@Brian in UK
A 19-year-old Kurosawa was maybe listening intently.

9:11am Artie:

Order is restored!! Welcome back to Normal(?), Doug.

♥ 9:12am Doug Schulkind:

This is the "old normal," Artie!

♥ 9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, Thatchmo, you fookin rawked the past three Fridays. Thank you ever so much!

♥ 9:15am northguineahills:

w00h00, I'm sick just in time for xmas, at least I'll be the only one in the office today.

🥁

♥ 9:16am Brian in UK:

Getting Max Fleischer flashbacks now. Oh dear.

♥ 9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry you're sick, northguineahills. I learned the hard way that this year's flu shot is fairly ineffective.

🥁

♥ 9:17am Sem:

Apply gin liberally, BiUK.

Real estate thing moving ahead? Hope so.

9:18am Thatchmo:

I am but a humble servant of the Perfect Master.

9:19am still b/p:

I hereby nominate the first happy comment happenstance-dropped excellent band name of Doug's return: The Max Fleischer Flashbacks.

🥁

♥ 9:19am Brian in UK:

Sem, why take two weeks when you can take three. How many surveyors does it take to review a house? If we are in by Springtime I will be happy.
Sun is not quite over the yardarm yet.

♥ 9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Work on getting that trademarked, still b/p.

🥁

♥ 9:22am Brian in UK:

Man, I got them Shamisen blues.

9:22am glenn:

if the band was middle aged women, they could be the max factor flashbacks.

🥁

♥ 9:23am Sem:

Patience, Grasshopper. equal parts green crème de menthe, white crème de cacao, and cream—shaken with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass.

🥁

♥ 9:25am Brian in UK:

I can smell the potato bread cooking and non-cavity stuffing on the go.

Sem, short of the white crème de cacao. Sounds like a mother......

🥁

♥ 9:25am Brian in UK:

glenn did you have a good birthday?

♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Next track will astound and delight. I predict.

9:26am still b/p:

Luxurious mascara for yer Popeyes.

♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Old Man Liver!

♥ 9:27am northguineahills:

Yeah, the flu shot didn't work on me last year, but probably b/c I was so overstressed and not sleeping. (I can sleep now).

9:28am glenn:

i did, in fact, have a good b'day, thank you brian.

♥ 9:29am northguineahills:

Most curious cover of Old Man River I've heard.

9:29am mauri:

that was greeeat!

🥁

♥ 9:29am Brian in UK:

The Cirrhosis Orchestra rules.

♥ 9:30am Doug Schulkind:

It would have been nice if Mr. Kasagi had bothered to learn the rest of the song. But whatever!

9:30am still b/p:

It was a great action/musical film, "Shogun vs. Showboat."

🥁

♥ 9:31am Uncle Michael:

He got the important parts. There was an old man...and he was a river.

♥ 9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, my hero!

🥁

♥ 9:31am Sem:

..and he had gone 81 days without feeling his liver.

🥁

♥ 9:32am Brian in UK:

Paul Robeson was clearly over egging the song.

♥ 9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Nice one, still b/p.

9:34am nedemus:

Shizuko certainly makes the Screaming Jay Hawkins version sound mainstream by comparison

♥ 9:35am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, nedemus!

9:39am DutchTheo:

Shizuko was an actress in Kurasawa's film "Drunken Angel" *Old man liver* Sayonara

♥ 9:39am Kris Holmes:

Good morning

♥ 9:41am Dominick:

Hiya kids

♥ 9:42am Webhamster Henry:

I guess the moon was back to shining on lovers after Prohibition was repealed.

♥ 9:43am Doug Schulkind:

The stars are all arriving now: DutchTheo! Kris Holmes! Dominick! Webhamster Henry!

🥁

♥ 9:44am Uncle Michael:

"Blaine?" That's not a name. That's a major appliance.

♥ 9:45am northguineahills:

If I didn't know better, I'd think Hiroshi Wada & Mahina Stars were Nisei.

♥ 9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Tom Anderson here sounds a lot like Lefty Frizzell, methinks.

9:46am still b/p:

Searched that Old Man River version so I could pass it to a friend. And knew I'd have the archive as a link possibility for him, but there it is on the YouTubes. People...people are out there...just....uploading.

♥ 9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
You could always just ask me for the MP3. I am a happy sharer.

🥁

♥ 9:51am Uncle Michael:

Doug, can I have one of your kidneys?

9:51am Bill from Rock Tavern:

Hey Doug , a rare Friday home for me so finally get to listen. Loved the Japanese stuff. Happy Holidays!

9:52am still b/p:

Thanks! I never seem to get around to acquisition, but I often take a note -- an ever-lengthening list -- of good things heard on the Drummer auto-stream, and think, "Ooooh, I should ask for THAT one."

♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Bill from Rock Tavern! Great to have you along for the ride. Give my best to your beloved.

♥ 9:54am northguineahills:

Well, this is lunacy!

9:54am glenn:

waiting for the spoon and june segments.

♥ 9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Soon, glenn, soon.

♥ 9:56am Rich in Washington:

Great show, Doug!
Been listening from the bath, trying to soak off a post-work-pre-vacation party hangover.

♥ 10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@davefromtoronto
That's what I'm here for, Sir.

🥁

♥ 10:06am Brian in UK:

How did he get to hear about it?

10:06am glenn:

troy hess grew up to be roy moore.

♥ 10:07am Rich in Washington:

That's hilarious, Doug.

🥁

♥ 10:07am Uncle Michael:

I want to hear the false statement!

♥ 10:08am northguineahills:

me gusta!

♥ 10:10am Doug Schulkind:

This is what I originally wrote on WFMU's blog, and which Little Troy got so upset over:

------------

Bennie Hess's papa, Vestral (yes, Vestral!) worked on the railroad with the legendary "singing brakeman" Jimmie Rodgers, who stayed at the Hess household in Texas on occasion, enthralling young Bennie with his yodeling. (Though Hess was a first-class huckster, promoter and bullshit artist, this appears to be fact.) Handing down the love of music from father to son continued when Bennie tossed his 4-year-old son, Troy, on stage as "America's Singing Souvenir." (Hear Troy sing his breakout number: Please Don't Got Topless Mother.

♥ 10:14am joe:

You know I could have been sympathetic as he was just hurt someone said something negative about his dad, but when then you get to the statement about your faithfulness as a European and the underlying connotations of the type of guy he is starts to creep out and well then.

♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@joe
I may well be trash, but I ain't Eurotrash.

♥ 10:16am Little Danny:

Good mornin' Doug, all!

♥ 10:16am joe:

@Doug Yeah talk about fact checking :)

🥁

♥ 10:17am Uncle Michael:

I think you should write him a tersely-worded rebuttal.

♥ 10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Little Danny is in Texas. I could have him go beat up Little Troy for me! (I'll explain later, Little Danny!)

🥁

♥ 10:17am Jeff Golick:

What time is it?

🥁

♥ 10:17am Uncle Michael:

Dare him to come to Pittsburgh. Use the word "yinz."

10:18am still b/p:

Huh..."college boy" too. Yeah, you'll TAKE your thumpin'.

♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Here was my original blog post. Take note of the person who left a comment right after Troy's diatribe!

blog.wfmu.org...

♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

HelloJeffGolick!

10:19am davefromtoronto:

he should be flattered - i'd be proud to be called a first class anything!

🥁 ♥ 10:20am βrian:

Happy Twenty-Tooth. There was only one person on the inbound bus this morning. T'is the season.

10:21am glenn:

should sriracha go on the hot sauce shelf, or the condiment shelf?

♥ 10:21am northguineahills:

yo soy brasura blanco!

♥ 10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I'm betting young Troy did not appreciate my suggestion that his father was exploiting his son by turning him into a carnival attraction. And he has a fair point.

🥁

♥ 10:21am Uncle Michael:

Oh, Jesus. I don't remember that at all!

10:22am glenn:

and why do i have FIVE different kinds of dijon fucking mustard?

🥁

♥ 10:22am Jeff Golick:

@glenn: yes.

🥁

♥ 10:22am Uncle Michael:

That and calling his daddy names?

🥁 ♥ 10:23am βrian:

Who IS your daddy, anyway?

🥁

♥ 10:24am doctorjazz:

Late to the party, welcome back to mornings, Doug!

🥁

♥ 10:25am Sem:

Dijon is such a demanding mustard @glenn.

10:25am still b/p:

Sad tiny minority opinion on storage: Sriracha should be buried deep in the backyard where it can never hurt anyone again.

10:28am DutchTheo:

eurotrash is a golfing tweeting twat

♥ 10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to see ya, βrian! And hey there, doctorjazz!

♥ 10:28am joe:

Oh yeah
'ello folks
Happy Holidays

♥ 10:29am Little Danny:

Ahhh, this Gil Suarez

10:29am Sriracha:

Hey, I'm not little Sriracha anymore. Why don't you up here and try to bury me in the backyard yourself, college boy?

♥ 10:30am Doug Schulkind:

I like pushing your Gil Suarez button, Little Danny.

♥ 10:34am northguineahills:

mas cumbias!

♥ 10:34am Little Danny:

Big red button that sez FUEGO

10:35am still b/p:

That's funny, HOT-head. Who's a saucy li'l bottle...who? Popular topping,eh? Like the mug sez in On The Waterfront," "I'll top him off lovely."

♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind:

That thing glows in the dark, LD.

🥁

♥ 10:35am doctorjazz:

This is really good sound

♥ 10:36am northguineahills:

I can't stand brand named Sriracha, it has too much sugar in it. I've had other types of the rooster sauce that weren't saturated in sugar that I like. Found a good Asian market here and got decent Vietnamese chili sauce. Need to make my own from scratch in the new year.

🥁

♥ 10:36am doctorjazz:

The percussion is spread out a mile

♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry:

We are Normal and we want our freedom!

🥁 ♥ 10:39am βrian:

The Rooster brand Sriracha has artificial preservatives and is packaged in plastic. That's just silly. I'll make my own. (But if there are other good brands out there ...)

10:40am still b/p:

Sorry about the hostility. Now we come out of the trenches, laying down our condiments to meet in the mud of no man's land and sing carols together under a Christmas moon.

🥁

♥ 10:42am Brian in UK:

Wondered what you folks were talking about. It is that warming Thai condiment. You can even get it in supermarkets here. My wife's chili relish is the best. No returns.

🥁

♥ 10:43am Artie:

Sambal Oelek for all my friends!

♥ 10:44am annie:

starting the annual hunt for the perfect "minced-meat pie". i love the challenge. "White House Cookbook" is the first resource. i know they have it, but i'm not ready to go out hunting venison today.

♥ 10:44am northguineahills:

@βrian: Exactly, and it hurts my GI track. I only use hot sauces that use all natural ingredients and are in glass bottles, sure, they may potentially go bad, but that's never a problem w/ me (i go through them really fast).

🥁

♥ 10:44am doctorjazz:

Have the LP of this Laster haven't heard it in ages, great stuff!

🥁 ♥ 10:44am βrian:

"Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine ;
Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine
Tranquille. Il a deux tâches rouges au côté droit."

(He spilled his Sriracha)

🥁

♥ 10:45am Brian in UK:

The last batch had seventy Scotch Bonnet chilis in it. As you imagine I wore surgical gloves when chopping them up.

♥ 10:45am northguineahills:

@annie: If I had someone to cook for that would appreciate it, I'd make a Mexican influenced mince meat pie. (i miss baking).

🥁

♥ 10:46am Sem:

Sambal Oelek, a decided CERTAINLY! @Artie

♥ 10:46am Doug Schulkind:

I guess now is as good a time as any to announce our newest program on Give the Drummer Radio: Sriracha Talk!

🥁 ♥ 10:46am βrian:

Those are too hot for me, generally, Serranos are more in my range.

♥ 10:46am annie:

what meat do you use NGH? what is your recipe?

🥁

♥ 10:47am Sem:

Seventy is a lot of anything Scotch, but bonnets would make it a WMD.

10:47am glenn:

i don't lol, but lol.

♥ 10:48am northguineahills:

My Guyanese sister-in-law's mother gave me a bunch of here amazing hot sauce at T-giving. But it only paired w/ certain foods, and it went bad this week. First time that happened to me (it was about a pint).

♥ 10:48am Stanley:

Can we talk about Sorachi hops, instead, all this chilli talk is making me thirsty.

♥ 10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, thirsty Stanley!

♥ 10:49am annie:

just not a fan of hot sauces... i donate any hot peppers i find to a needy cause. one of my pet-sit jobs, she grows a whole front yard of 7-10 assorted hot peppers.

10:49am still b/p:

A local article the other day featured pork pies of French Canadian holiday tradition. I've never had one but the name alone plus descriptions and homey background & memories made a body hungreeee-desirous.

10:49am Dean:

Current hot sauces of choice for me are Bigfat's 708 and 808, and Paul's Haba Haba Mango Habanero, a suitable substitute for catsup.

🥁

♥ 10:50am Brian in UK:

The hottest chili essence I tasted was from a Mexican Vet student half a lifetime ago. Man, that was fundamental.

10:50am mauri:

I tried to get the hotness away from habaneros by rubbing slices in alcohol. trying to have just the flavor. the sauce was still hot. i didnt drink the alcohol after.

🥁

♥ 10:50am Jeff Golick:

Dean, if the 808 tag line isn't 808s and Heartburn they've missed a nice opportunity.

♥ 10:50am Webhamster Henry:

There used to be a "Hot stuff Spicy Food Store" on Sullivan St in the 90s. You could do some good taste tests. Hotter than hell sauce was a fave of mine, an Indonesian one. I also liked the jalepeño lollipops.

🥁 ♥ 10:51am βrian:

I was thinking of making egg nog. Don't have the time to let it age in booze, so maybe a coddling bath for safety's sake. But it occurs to me a pinch of cayenne might be a nice touch.

🥁

♥ 10:51am Sem:

Sorachi Ace, Stanley? Do tell us your Japanese beer experience.

♥ 10:51am annie:

oh still b/p!!! wow...

🥁

♥ 10:52am Brian in UK:

Japanese beef - You Wag you.

♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Dean!

🥁

♥ 10:53am Sem:

@still b/p: I urge you to go and get a tourtiere immediately.

10:54am Dean:

Heh, turn up the 808. The whole line is -08, from not hot to (808) kaboom! Naga Jolokia. I gave my 12YO niece a taste of 708, which is hot. She liked it, so with adequate warning I offered 808. She dipped her finger and tasted a drop. Eyes grew wide. I commend her courage.

🥁

♥ 10:54am Brian in UK:

I like the pork pies from the North West of England without pastry tops. They can be a bit pastry heavy.

♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Unless you have Tourtiere's Syndrome.

🥁 ♥ 10:54am βrian:

Hot peppers need to be approached gently, with the heat level providing a high note in the food's flavor, not a shrapnel wound. But with no heat at all, it's like listening to an orchestra with no high notes.

🥁

♥ 10:55am Jeff Golick:

Bern Nix, one of 2017's losses.

♥ 10:55am Doug Schulkind:

βrian, the poet of peppers.

10:55am still b/p:

No actual recipes revealed, but nice family glimpses and....the days of 3000 pies a year!
www.pressherald.com...

🥁 ♥ 10:55am βrian:

And then there's cilantro, herb of the gods, which marries well with heat.

🥁

♥ 10:57am Brian in UK:

The heat should be a subtle use not a smack in the chops. Italians use Chili well as a warming heat under the main flavours.

♥ 10:57am Doug Schulkind:

I am one of those people genetically incapable of ingesting cilantro without retching.

♥ 10:57am Stanley:

Call me Kobe, Brian

♥ 10:58am northguineahills:

@annie: I add various chilies (dried chiplotles and others for spice, and fire-burned poblanos for flacor). I also use a cumin and a wee bit of coriander, and agave syrup for the sweetness. Otherwise, it's the usual.

10:58am glenn:

pie tip - tourtiere is called tourtiere because it was originally made with passenger pigeons, a.k.a. tourte.

🥁

♥ 10:59am Brian in UK:

Coriander does have a wonderful dry aroma.

🥁 ♥ 11:00am βrian:

My True Love's name, however, is Rosemary.

🥁

♥ 11:00am Brian in UK:

Pork pies are a bit tedious to make especially if you buy the trotters to make the jelly. No pie is complete without the jelly though.

♥ 11:00am northguineahills:

Webhamster Henry: darnit, i never made it to Sullivan Street until 2000.

11:01am glenn:

and a good tourtiere is a wonderful thing.

♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry to change the subject, but...

Oh bloody hell. Somebody just posted "RIP Roswell Rudd" on Twitter.

🥁

♥ 11:03am Brian in UK:

@βrian I can see you, you dirty dog, cutting off a stem and sliding you hands down it to loosen the green uniquely flavoured, shall we call them leaves.

11:03am Dean:

The thing with Bigfats is the melding of flavor and sheer, nearly brutal heat. For flavor appropriate to many dishes, 708 is the go-to. One adds 808 for a layer of smoke and Scoville ecstasys.

🥁

♥ 11:03am doctorjazz:

This Amina Meyers is GREAT!

♥ 11:04am northguineahills:

@mauri: I put slivers of an habenero in vodka and let it sit for a week. I have a high tolerance for picante, but it was probably the third spiciest thing I'd ever experienced. (still drank over 6 months)

11:05am still b/p:

In Greenwich a couple years ago, stopped at more-than-century-old Goddard's (I think) for what seemed like the perfect spot for the most delicious simple hearty comfort-classic beef pie and mash. The lunch was so surprisingly and discouragingly bland. I oughta write the queen.

🥁 ♥ 11:05am βrian:

And the rosemary must be gathered from the slopes of Mt Sainte Victoire, of course.

♥ 11:06am Stanley:

Sem, tying these threads together, I once had a most sublime experience with a Kobe beef steak and a bottle of Sorachi hopped beer on the twenty seventh floor overlooking Shinjuku in Tokyo at the Japanese branch of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

🥁

♥ 11:07am Brian in UK:

Doug, if true that sums up the bluddy year.

🥁

♥ 11:07am Sem:

Great and true envy. Stanley.

🥁 ♥ 11:08am βrian:

Is it true they make a version of the highland pipes with whole Fugu as the bag?

🥁

♥ 11:08am listener james from westwood:

"2017 can fuck straight off" is evergreen like this impending holiday's tree, but on its way out it does seem to be trying to be, as the kids say, extra.

🥁

♥ 11:08am Jeff Golick:

Lucas Niggli doesn't hit you over the head with it, I always like to say.

🥁

♥ 11:09am Jeff Golick:

WHAT

♥ 11:10am annie:

@doug: cilantro makes me retch... blech.

and, on another note: serious eats website has become a mess, i'll never go back..

🥁

♥ 11:11am doctorjazz:

Roswell Rudd... Very sad if it's true...

♥ 11:12am Webhamster Henry:

I'm in contact with Verna Gillis, who was taking care of Roswell Rudd, but haven't heard anything yet. That may of course be why.

🥁 ♥ 11:12am βrian:

I used to have the cilantro problem, too. It got better.

11:14am Dean:

Damn, seriously, @doctorjazz?

♥ 11:14am annie:

there's only one place in this city that uses cilantro sparingly and well enough to eat the food, it's Taco Billy, i barely notice the cilantro at all.. just wish they'd not garnish with it..

11:15am Dean:

I *love* cilantro. Gimme chimichurri.

🥁

♥ 11:15am doctorjazz:

Not a fan of cilantro uncooked, OK in recipes. And have a family of GERD /heartburn prone folks, lost my tolerance for very hot food soon after getting married.

🥁

♥ 11:16am Jeff Golick:

Another Pat Thomas I'm only just now becoming aware of: www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk...

11:16am DutchTheo:

New York Eye and Ear Control with Roswell Rudd and Sunny Murray (Murray died 7th December) and Ayler and Cherry, Tchicai and Peacock

11:16am Dean:

An entire stand-up routine lies dormant in that clause, @doctorjazz.

♥ 11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Roswell's glorious funk epic MAINE, up next. With broken heart.

🥁

♥ 11:18am doctorjazz:

🥁

♥ 11:19am doctorjazz:

Nothing on Google yet, but really sad to hear it.

11:19am Dean:

Heard him with Lacy at McCabe's in Santa Monica.

♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Always deepest gratitude to Listener Hugo of Bergen, Norway, for providing a clean copy of this beloved recording.

11:20am Dean:

At least we still have McCabe's.

🥁

♥ 11:20am Brian in UK:

I got a ton of tissues available. My fault I just 'found' him this year. Curses.

🥁

♥ 11:22am doctorjazz:

Saw him a few times, once with African musicians (took my older daughter), at Symphony Space, NYC. Great show.
(just recently tracked down the vinyl of Maine, I think after hearing it here.

11:24am Dean:

Gonna have to miss the rest of the show and all of UM's, dangit. Happy holidays, all.

🥁 ♥ 11:25am βrian:

My your metadata be curated, Dean.

🥁

♥ 11:25am Brian in UK:

Relentless Roswell Rudd.

The great body of my music life stands on many legs. Roswell Rudd is one of those great, bold, powerful, beautiful legs.

Thank you, DS, and all, for the appetite building talk, and the sublime company. Nice spins, too:-D. Later.

♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Here is what I wrote about this record in my Best of 2003 list:

"Cram a jazz musician in a studio with an authentic African folk ensemble, and what's the typical result? Ersatz "world jazz" suitable for serenading Banana Republic shoppers, and little else. I usually avoid records like this and would have but for the presence of trombonist Roswell Rudd. With his hallmark speaking-through-the-horn sound, he blurts out his thoughts as if skanked up on truth serum. Overlooked and underappreciated, Rudd has appeared on precious few recordings. This one, as Rudd fans would expect, is magnificent."

Sad, Maine: Roswell with Hans Dulfer. Natale caldo e piccante, Signor Batterista

🥁

♥ 11:39am Brian in UK:

Thanks Doug. Hits like a train.

🥁 ♥ 11:40am duke:

You were sure right about this one Doug. Rudd is magnificent.

♥ 11:41am Doug Schulkind:

It is hard enough to mourn exalted musicians from the past. But Rudd has been making brilliant records until very recently. There is so much more we will never get to hear.

♥ 11:41am Rich in Washington:

What an amazing track, this...

11:44am Mr C:

I Almost, forgot to remember to forget that the Drummer is back at 9 est.
Sure did treat me nice, gave me 9 for Xmas, now I'm living in Paradise!

🥁

♥ 11:44am doctorjazz:

Happy Holidays all (off to a sad start, hope the rest is nice).

🥁 ♥ 11:45am βrian:

I've been to Paradise. And I've also have been to Hell. They're both in Michigan.

🥁

♥ 11:46am Brian in UK:

Thelonious' version was on the Stream just before the show started.

🥁

♥ 11:47am doctorjazz:

The recent Trombone for Lovers is great Rudd.

🥁

♥ 11:48am doctorjazz:

Lacy /Rudd stuff great as well... Even like his old Dixieland stuff.

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Rudd was inactive (out of the public eye) for so many years. But for the past 15 years, he had been furiously making up for lost time. So many incandescent performances and recordings.

🥁

♥ 11:49am Brian in UK:

@doc he takes Joe Hill there and back again. Thanks for the copy. Funny, I was playing Phil Ochs' take on Joe Hill today. Got it bad for Phil recently.

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, Mr C! Semper welcome.

🥁

♥ 11:49am Uncle Michael:

Thank you for ending our long, national nightmare and making it morning in America, again, Doug.

Sad bout Roswell...

♥ 11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Mourning in America.

11:52am Mr C:

I just heard a first generation person of Asian descent, with s thick accent, singing along to Charles Brown's "Please Come Home for Christmas" in Whole Foods..he did make up a few words. This land is your land..

♥ 11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry no soul set on today's GTDS. Had to clear the decks for some Rudd love.

11:54am Mr C:

♥ 11:56am Brian in UK:

Doug, thanks for the show. One of those moments.
Like I was watching Lonnie Holley at the same time as Nelson Mandela's demise. Some things you remember like it or not.

♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Every moment of every radio show I've ever done is a tribute to Roswell Rudd.

12:22pm Johanna Climenko:

Welcome back Doug! I just came home and Bob told me of Roswell's death. All I can say is with how much we adored him and his music and all of his profound work, it helps to have the news come from you. Blessings in our shared grief.

♥ 12:29pm Doug Schulkind:

@Johanna
I found out about two hours into the show. A day later, I am still shaken. Roswell has been so prolific these past 15 years or so. What an incandescent legacy he leaves us.
