	👻 9:07am Mike H: Odd to hear an ostensibly jazz program starting with Weather Report and Kenny Burrell and not Don Henley
	9:08am HyperDose: Easy like Thursday morning!
	9:08am Andres: Jazz?
	9:08am terminalhipness: I picture JA being lowered from a helicopter by a rope to the roof of the WFMU studios..
	👻 9:08am Handy Haversack: Maybe JA is already living in Friday while we're still stuck in Thursday like a buncha schnooks!
	9:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Would have been funny to hear Steve and Eydie Gorme doing their take on "Black Hole Sun" That or I just need more coffee.
	9:09am Strandlund: C'mon Clay...you gotta throw a "Mannix" in there somewhere!!
	9:09am G: Ah tuketa tuk!
	9:09am PigeonsAndRust: Sounding great to me! If yr taking suggestions how about some Ahmad Jamal? Or maybe Donald Byrd?
	9:10am Edgar from Maine: Lounge Lizards!
	9:10am Andres: Acute Thursday AM ambivalence.
	9:10am StringOFperils: Johnny Hartman & John Coltrane. They say it's wonderful.
	9:10am Lord Jimz: Nice sides, Jah
	9:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Voice of Chunk, baby!
	9:11am Too Obtuse: We can always type our own drops right here!
	9:11am ike-o: I guess the ultimate improvisation is to free form 3 hrs of jazz unexpectedly-I'd be hard pressed to even get started:)
	9:12am MikeG: If your on time, you're five minutes late as far as I'm concerned.
	9:12am Deano de los Muertos: I wasn’t expecting to still hear the Pidge after waking late. Morning Clay!
	9:12am Wind: WAIT WHA? Pidge? what are you still doing in the studio?
	9:12am yippie: I went to the bowling alley where chunk sees the police chase
	9:12am The Butterman: You may as well stay to 6AM Friday Clay!
	9:12am Clay Pigeon: You know I WOULD Butterman!
	9:12am Wind: lol The Butterman!
	9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Does this record have the same guitar player as on Spectrum?
	9:13am Wind: JA is MIA?
	9:13am PigeonsAndRust: Hey Clay what's the longest air shift you ever pulled?
	👻 9:13am Mike H: Speaking of Voice of Chunk: has anybody else here read John Lurie’s memoir? Pretty wild book
	9:13am Malcolm: Jazz pidgeon!
	9:13am Clay Pigeon: I believe Spectrum is Tommy Bolin and this is Abercrombie? All trying to be John McLaughlin!
	9:14am Clay Pigeon: Probably 18 hours during Hurricane Irene
	9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Mike H: After reading that thing, I'm kind of amazed that Lurie is still alive.
	9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Clay Pigeon: Pretty accurate synopsis, right there!
	9:15am sphere: hello there. just saw the new schedule so I had to say to you all: BRYCE!
	9:16am HyperDose: We're schnooks in a nook, Handy!
	9:16am The Butterman: Clay, that was a highlight of my life. Deep deep memory! Thanks for doing that.
	9:17am sphere: Oh, are we in a JA-less void? I get it.
	9:17am Clay Pigeon: So fun, Butterman. With Julie: Dark Night of the Soul
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: For reals, sphere! (@9:15)
	9:17am Edgar from Maine: John Lurie is amazing. I can watch "Down By Law" over and over and it's so good every time.
	9:17am Deano de los Muertos: Wow 18 hours
	👻 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Bryce countdown clock for you, sphere (and anyone) - www.timeanddate.com...
	9:18am Clay Pigeon: Didn't Jonesy go like 5-days???
	9:19am Deano de los Muertos: I’ve heard him mention it
	9:19am Wind: omg Jonesy moved into the studio for 5-days???
	9:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ken From Hyde Park: That's a cool countdown thingie...and I can't wait!
	9:19am Clay Pigeon: He set a world record!
	👻 9:20am YETI BOB: well this is fun!
	9:20am berkshires matty: that crazy marathon!
	9:20am Lord Jimz: you guys are hilarious
	9:21am Deano de los Muertos: Internet says Jonesy went 100 hrs and 40 seconds
	9:22am Lord Jimz: Clayster!-wowza
	👻 9:22am Mike H: Are we sure JA knows that the new schedule starts next week and not this week
	9:23am renzo: lovely work C.P.
	9:23am Clay Pigeon: TY renzo!
	9:23am StringOFperils: This CTA album. :)
	👻 9:23am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Pidge!!!! What a pleasant surprise!!!
	9:24am sphere: Oh my god, I began my music journey as a rabid Chicago fan and this was the song that did it.
	9:24am Hughie Considine: This song derives its title from the love life of keyboardist Robert Lamm, whose girlfriend besieged him with commitment inquiries during the last two years of the Johnson administration
	9:24am winston legthigh: this is a nice surprise. bake on!
	9:24am queems: now it’s a party
	👻 9:24am Mike H: You’re doin great Clay
	9:24am PNX: Free the Pidge!
	9:24am onthetrain: Clay can we switch to some psychedelic rock next ?
	9:24am hairboat: clay pigeon: MVP!
	9:24am onthetrain: Some 13th floor elevators maybe. ?
	👻 9:24am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): I miss X-Ray Burns, even if he was a bootlicking lunatic in the end.
	9:24am Lana in Bucksom County: A true showman you are, Clay!! ... I think Jonesy made it into the Guinness Book, with his marathon, didn't he?
	9:25am Lord Jimz: is that Renzi spirit buffalo?
	9:25am Uleeshuh TN: extra pixie
	9:25am Rich in Wading River: @Mike H - I wouldn't be surprised if it's calendar confusion
	9:25am sphere: I was a baritone horn/trombone geek in 1982 and nothing on the radio spoke to me.
	9:25am berkshires matty: I know how edgy I get in my little life when I'm late, can only imagine how a DJ would feel
	9:25am winston legthigh: you must be tired but the time and a half don't suck.
	9:25am Lana in Bucksom County: I dig what you're throwin' down, Clay
	9:26am Edgar from Maine: I'm picturing JA walking slowly along the sidewalk towards WFMU with sunglasses on, reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette ... casually glancing at his watch and dancing to the music.
	9:26am chresti: What?
	9:26am JetBoy now of Astoria: I saw a guy playing baritone horn for tips in the Union square subway station yesterday. That was a first. I also played the baritone as a kid
	9:27am winston legthigh: horn rock \m/
	9:27am StringOFperils: It's okay, chresti. Just breathe.
	👻 9:27am captain beef fart: Play some Billy Joel!
	9:28am StringOFperils: Aack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack
	9:28am sphere: @ JetBoy: I played in the tuba/baritone horn choir that played Christmas songs on the Ellipse (Washington DC)!
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: WHY
	9:28am Rich in Wading River: I remember there was a show a few years back when Kenny G had a shift on WFMU and he just played the whole entire Chicago live album, intending to piss off the listenership
	9:28am G: Why not?
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: (By the Byrds)
	9:28am Lana in Bucksom County: Edgar, LOL! I enjoyed that Jazzercise session yesterday. The old videos are really delightful too, especially her crew.
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: Please!!!!!!
	9:28am Lord Jimz: Awesome Clay! You know how to throw down! What is this chord progression based on?
	9:29am sphere: And this is funny again. I changed over to electric bass and pretty much based my style in opposition to everything Jaco stood for. I think I loved reverb on bass solely because Jaco loved chorus.
	9:29am HyperDose: Appreciate you working overtime for us today, Clay ❤️
	9:29am BillyLundun: It's an all day Pidgefest!
	9:29am chresti: Morning StringO! Morning Clay!
	9:30am PaulRobeson1922: Oh why oh whyy Morning, chresti!
	9:30am sphere: @PaulRobeson1922 - totally with your sentiment, dude.
	9:30am winston legthigh: was just thinking we need a wake after party and my wish is granted.
	9:31am Lana in Bucksom County: Oh, yes, thank you, Clay!! For your sweet and peaceful transition. Didn't you do this a few months bag, and you played all prog?
	9:31am PaulRobeson1922: Thanks, sphere. & good morning to U!
	9:31am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	9:31am chresti: Morning PaulRobe!
	9:31am Edgar from Maine: Jazz is ok. It just needs more screaming.
	👻 9:31am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): HA!!! I LOVE the jazz-fusion beatnik version of The Pidge!!!! Where else can you hear Mahavushnu Orchestra on the airwaves?
	👻 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: If there's a jazz rendition of "Roger The Rocket Ship" out there, today might be the day for it!
	9:32am G: Boy, he is late... And no text/call?
	9:32am Strandlund: CP in the AM!! Be-Bop-Be-Bop-Be-Bop-A-Dinga-Da!!
	👻 9:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Subtle Mahavishnu humor: Their song "Resolution" never resolves.
	9:33am G: Irresolution
	9:33am banksy68: Hey Pidge, how about “you know, you know” by mahavishnu?
	9:33am Lana in Bucksom County: Me too, Johnny in SC. These are the magic moments.
	9:33am medson: FOGHAT !!!!!
	9:33am StringOFperils: Back in the 70s, when I had this Mahavishnu Orchestra in heavy rotation down in the basement bedroom, my dad would return from the paper mill and want to kill me (I think). Not too long before I moved out.
	👻 9:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Can we hear S.A.M. do some scat? Maybe cover an Ella Fitzgerald tune?
	9:34am Jessie: I love that Billy took the MVO construct, added brass, and...found the one guitarist on Earth who could shred like McLaughlin to make this opening section COOK.
	9:34am sphere: Nothing that WFMU has done with fusion and prog lately that has changed my mind that 1) fusion began and ended with Miles 2) prog is the one genre that I would retroactively wipe from existence. The only thing I would regret is the loss of Cereberus Shoal.
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): McLaughlin had a trio for a time in the 90's that was just him, Kai Ekhardt on bass, and Trilok Gurtu on tablas. Really cool. Sorta like Shakti.
	9:34am G: Thanks for your input, sphere.
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hope J.A. is O.K. ...there has to be a Dissolution to every Problem...
	9:35am sphere: @ G: Always happy to help. Isn't WFMU all about going against the grain? Even when going against the grain is going against the grain.
	9:35am queems: i love when clay pigeon gets to play whatever he wants
	9:36am StringOFperils: Stanley with his active Alembic bass
	9:36am G: @queems: Freeform, who knew lol
	👻 9:36am Handy Haversack: Word, queems!
	9:36am Edgar from Maine: I'm listening to this while watching "The Song Remains the Same" with the volume off.
	9:36am Lana in Bucksom County: Love Stanley Clark - got me into bass, and bass players
	👻 9:36am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Woods : Was that Remember Shakti? I have a bootleg live recording where Trilok Gurtu plays a walking blues bassline ON TABLAS! Mindblowing!
	9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Listener Jonny: I really think it was called John McLaughlin Trio....now I've gotta go look....
	9:37am winston legthigh: handy!
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: winston!
	9:38am Deano de los Muertos: Hope John is ok
	9:38am Hughie Considine: @Sphere, that is what FMU is all about. Prog is a divisive genre, and you're not alone.
	9:38am doctorjazz: This is great!!!!
	9:38am StringOFperils: Hah, this is cool; I haven't heard this since the late '70s. I need to hear the rest of this again.
	9:38am Hughie Considine: I always loved this jam -- it's about as poppy as Stanley Clarke ever got.
	9:38am Lord Jimz: yes sphere
	9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This is one of the recordings: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 9:39am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: There is recently a website/blog/project that has the recorded history of Miles Davis' electric period, from 68 to 74. Bootleg recordings as free mp3s from nearly every performance in that era. If you like Live/Evil, Dark Magus, Pangea, Big Fun and Agharta, then you would LOVE this.
	9:39am Mi-rgod: Who's on guitar on this track? Sounds like Steve Morse to me but mebbe just 'cause it's a very Dixie Dregs-y sounding tune.
	9:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie Considine: Except when he did those recordings in Animal Logic w/Stewart Copeland and Deborah Holland.
	9:40am sphere: @ Listener Jonny: OOOH! That sounds sweet. :)
	9:40am Mi-rgod: Ah Jeff Beck!
	👻 9:40am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: Let me look...
	👻 9:40am Handy Haversack: sphere and LJiSC(O): Creamo played three hours from that MD archive on Tuesday's SAB: www.wfmu.org... Links to the archive in the chat there.
	9:40am sphere: Totally forgot about Animal Logic. They sounded intriguing but somehow I never caught up with them.
	9:40am Lana in Bucksom County: Yes, Clay did a last minute follow-up fill-in, three hours!! Was it last winter? It was fantastic. Now let's see, which DJ were the listeners expecting then....
	9:41am Mi-rgod: this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ornette!!!! Ha, I played this record for one of my music-loving grandkidz. He did not appreciate it. At all.
	👻 9:42am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: Here you go! And everyone else too! theheatwarps.com
	9:42am Panther: Jazz it up Pidge!!! So cool!!! Extended PidgePlay!!
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): First Animal Logic record was great. Loved Holland's vocals on "Spy In The House of Love"
	9:43am Baja Joe: Hoping John is safe and well. In the meantime, enjoying the Clay P in the Ante meridiem
	9:43am davehamilton: hmmm, nice!
	9:43am sphere: Music really is a journey. Chicago Me would have never understood Keiji Haino Me.
	9:43am StringOFperils: thx 4 heatwarps link !!
	9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes well - if Fusion waters down the complexity of Jazz - & also the power of Rawk - then you have the worst of both worlds. Sometimes however other things happen(ed). Sundays on the Drummer stream you know there is the destination : Out! program - & others besides on this station have helped me realize that 'Bitches Brew' was not such a solitary corner of the universe after all. People have taken it in all kinds of directions - & they are many. & Im thinking not so much of trying to be radio-friendly like 'Fusion' was @ all ...altho one did used to hear Jazz-adjacent Musics that way on the radio (meaning 'normal' commercial radio) - which is a little hard to remember now...
	9:44am Jessie: Ornette Coleman’s “Free Jazz” used Jackson Pollock’s “White Light” for the album cover.
	9:44am Colleen: CLAY ALL DAY!!
	9:44am davehamilton: hope you're getting overtime CP
	👻 9:44am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): More long winded free-jazz stuff please!
	9:44am sphere: yes indeed, thanks for the link Johnny!
	9:44am z bong: hope JA is A-OK
	9:45am sphere: @ z bong: me too.
	9:45am b0b0b0b Plasticland: don't blame J A put the blame on WFMU for moving so many shows around ...too much Cut and Paste!!
	9:46am terminalhipness: what not going for the full side?
	👻 9:46am Handy Haversack: Listen to that crazy Pigeon fly!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wynton Marsalis observed that historically Rawk is actually a branch off the Jazz tree anyhow - so how can one speak of 'Fusing' them really - which is somewhat legit... 'Oh - I'm still Thursday this week ?!?'...
	9:47am mark/denver: thanks for ornette
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw Ornette with Prime Time (when Tone Dialing came out) and man, it was a trip. They'd go off on what I thought HAD to be lost avenues but then they'd stop on a dime and go off in a different direction. It was crazy great.
	9:47am Andrew Waterloo: People used to go outside and smoke when Ornette hit the stage.
	👻 9:48am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): "St Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast" by Frank Zappa
	👻 9:48am YETI BOB: Stomu!
	👻 9:48am Mike H: If JA really was/is at a Kiwanis event... lol
	9:48am sphere: @RRN63: To extend the metaphor, we all have relatives that we don't get along with. :)
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Ornette.
	9:48am winston legthigh: perfect excuse to puff.
	👻 9:48am chris_in_space: I love it when you get to indulge in a jazz odyssey, @Clay!
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: RevRab: Rock uses guitars, jazz uses saxophones. And when you have both it's fusion.
	9:49am People Like Us: Hope John is OK!
	9:49am Clay Pigeon: So fun for me! Hoping Johnny is OK!
	9:49am eva: good morning
	9:49am StringOFperils: It'd be awfully boring if creativity and change weren't frothing and boiling over...sorta like flat beer.
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: (don't confuse me by mentioning Kenny Burrell or Wes Montgomery or any one like that)
	9:50am sphere: @ YETI BOB: Should we call Painkiller "fusion"?
	👻 9:50am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wynton Marsalis is also full of shit. Wynton thinks that Miles and Coltrane are not "authentic" in the history and significance of jazz. Remember, Wynton showed up to a Miles show with his trumpet and walked out on stage uninvited and unannounced. Miles walked his ass back offf stage.
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - so BillHaley was Fusion ...he was def a Fusion in fact.
	9:50am Lana in Bucksom County: Fly Pidge!! Am Iloing it, or did Stomu do an album with Steve Winwood?
	9:50am Andrew Waterloo: Somebody asked me the difference between Blues and Jazz...
	👻 9:50am YETI BOB: @sphere - yes @revrab - no that's going too far
	9:51am chresti: I think I might of seen Chicago. maybe they were playing with the Almond Bros?
	9:51am sphere: Blues is from the country, jazz is from the city.
	9:51am StringOFperils: My fave Zoot track!
	👻 9:51am Handy Haversack: Instant request, Jonny!
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I liked early Wynton (up to Majesty of the Blues) but then him and Crouch established the Church of Armstrong and Ellington. Kind of boring and predictable.
	👻 9:51am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): blush
	9:52am Andrew Waterloo: @sphere.. yah.. pretty much.. but another person in the group started talking time signatures...
	9:52am mark/ denver: thanks for zappa..not enough zappa on fmu...too much mainstream shit
	9:52am abbazabba: Yeah, I joked earlier, but I hope JA is okay
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ListenerJonny - yeah but Wynton is also sometimes quotable. I just finally saw 'Chasing Trane' - & there's the obligatory Wynton facetime - & he's fine. I think he's grown up somewhat. If I may say such a pompous thing myself.
	9:53am Flaco: Extra Clay in the morning--added bonus! Also, somebody call a doctor... because that Mahavishnu was SICK SICK SICK! And now Zappa?! Go, Clay, Go!
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: oh no what's happening to me I'm actually enjoying this Zappa
	9:54am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think that Branford went on to do much more interesting stuff, at least to my ear. The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born is a fantastic album.
	👻 9:54am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Woods: I concur completely. Wynton also pisses me off for completely ignoring the Chicago scene and Art Ensemble of Chicago and the more avant garde domains of jazz. I would argue that, culturally, Art Ensemble of Chicago and AACM are the pinacle of jazz-as-American-artform.
	👻 9:54am Handy Haversack: YB: I knew you'd be surprised!
	9:54am Barefoot Jimmy G: Yay Clay! Yay Zappa!
	9:54am JetBoy now of Astoria: I, for one, welcome our new pigeon overlord.
	9:54am Lana in Bucksom County: Oooh, who's the drummer on this Zappa track? Love the syncopation!
	9:55am Jeremy_S: Man this is exactly the fill-in show I would have wished for. Excellent work, CP!
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: i generally find FZ kind of unbearable but i'm digging this
	👻 9:55am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Lana: I'm pretty sure it's Bozzio
	9:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Instrumental Zappa is almost always better than the vocal stuff. I think the drummer is Terry Bozio?
	9:55am DJ Guin: 🎵 The Queen is dead, boys But, it's so lonely on a limb Life is very long, when you're lonely. Life is very long, when you're lonely 🎵
	9:55am sphere: @ Andrew Waterloo: It's not like the blues and jazz didn't evolve from there, so I don't think that time signatures matter.
	9:55am Barbara in PA: Played that Zappa record till it wore out back in the day.
	9:55am HyperDose: We have a visual. Target acquired. 🎯
	9:55am Lana in Bucksom County: Oh thanks Jonny, that makes sense
	👻 9:56am Mike H: Also shocked how much I enjoyed that Zappa track
	9:56am geo in jc: He better have a donut
	9:56am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks again for doing this, Clay!
	9:56am sphere: @ Lana: Say what you want about Zappa, but he always has excellent taste in drummers.
	9:56am Lana in Bucksom County: I'm guessing it's a Johnny A Traffic Delay
	👻 9:56am YETI BOB: @AW: I saw Cooper-Moore once, he opened with a song, "The Blues is the Mother Of Jazz" - but who is the mother of the blues? Then went on to "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child"
	👻 9:56am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Thanks Pidge!!! You get THE gold star for today!!!!
	9:56am StringOFperils: Thanks for the bonus Pigeon time, gotta run!
	9:57am ?: Love love love how clay pivoted and did an amazing spot on hour of jas program
	👻 9:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Ah, maybe JA assumed Daylight Saving Time has ended.
	9:57am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: @Jetboy - thumbs up to that comment!
	9:57am Edgar from Maine: Thanks Clay. Good stuff.
	9:57am DJ Guin: love you Clay.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Listener Jonny: Yeah, I remember being on the (I think) John Zorn mailing list and there was a discussion about how in a head-cutting thing, Lester Bowie would have layed waste to him.
	9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zappa & his bands - unbelievable. The jokes & attitudes aside - I get tired of his cynicism but those players drag me back every time. What to compare it to quite? ...There was sort of a spiritual / ideological competition with Mahavishnu... ...Yeah Wynton as Musician ...I can't think of anything I even know. Somehow.
	9:57am Lana in Bucksom County: Thank you Clay!!!! You were wonderful
	9:57am Andres: Thank you, Clay!!
	👻 9:57am Mike H: Way to fill in Clay, sounded great
	9:57am winston legthigh: thanks pidge! catch you on the flipper!
	9:57am sphere: OH NO CLAY (lol)
	👻 9:57am Handy Haversack: Way to be, Clay! Thanks for keeping the ship on course! Hi, Barbara!
	9:57am mark/denver: saw zappa 5 tumes fillmore east once with fli and Eddie and captain beefheart..great live shows!!!
	9:57am Strandlund: Thank You Clay Pigeon!!
	9:57am terminalhipness: Thanks Clay, saw a whole other side today
	9:58am renzo: Thanks C.P.
	9:58am BillyLundun: Thanks Clay! Great to hear some Pidge picks!
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: was sort of hoping for a long conversation between Clay and JA
	9:58am chresti: Thanks Clay
	9:58am People Like Us: thanks Clay :)
	9:58am abbazabba: Thanks for keeping the faith, Clay
	9:58am DJ Guin: Queen Elizabeth is circling the drain...take the Donald with you, please.
	9:58am Clay Pigeon: Thanks everyone! John is OK!!!! See you tomorrow! This was really fun for me!
	9:58am People Like Us: yes I was waiting for "where the hell have you been?" conversation :)
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: You excel, Clay
	👻 9:58am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere and @Lana: Check out the video on youtube on Zappa's drummers. A discussion between Terry Bozio, Chester Thompson, Ralph Humphrey, Chad Wackerman and gasp Ruth Underwood. AMAZING and HILARIOUS. Chester Thompson's story of is audition and starting in the Zappa band is great. The music scared him so bad he said he didn't sleep for the first two months he played with Zappa.
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Yes. I saw Terry Bozio at a drum clinic one time and he talked about Zappa auditions and how he had to play "Approximate" after listening to it for a little bit. Just crazy.
	9:59am LEX: GREAT SET TODAY, ESPECIALLY THE JAZZ
	👻 9:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Pidge!
	9:59am People Like Us: I somehow doubt Queen Elisabeth wants to take Donald Trump ANYWHERE
	10:00am davehamilton: xtra dark web sanka to keep going that xtra hour?
	👻 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Taking him to prison would be nice, Vicki.
	10:00am People Like Us: YES
	10:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @People Like Us: Are you aware of the Evan Funk Davies "mystery song"?
	10:01am StringOFperils: Bunk Gardner and Don Preston's audition stories are also good.
	10:01am Edgar from Maine: monarchy and fascism both suck and are pointless
	10:01am People Like Us: you'll be getting Boris Johnson over in the US by the end of the year, mark my words!
	10:01am Barbara in PA: Hi Handy!
	10:01am People Like Us: what mystery song?
	10:01am Lana in Bucksom County: Thank Jonny, looking forward to checking that out. Love Chester Thompson, not so familiar with the others. Drumming as almost as interesting to watch as to listen to.
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Terry Bozio with JeffBeck on the tour with Steven Ray Vaughan ...& Terry had us shouting for himself.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Check yesterday's playlist. It's a song he received and can't identify. So far, nobody can. Some of us thought you might know who it is.
	10:02am People Like Us: oh ok
	10:02am StringOFperils: Oh Vicky. Say it ain't so.
	👻 10:03am YETI BOB: No that was Weezer
	10:03am People Like Us: @woodsofNH - where on the playlist? wfmu.org...
	10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I am chuckling at your Zappa thing. I'll say the same thing if/when I enjoy Ween.
	10:04am People Like Us: oh found it
	10:04am BennyThePlug: I hope Clay gets OT. :)
	10:04am Edgar from Maine: 01:33:04 @people
	10:05am JA IN THE AM: THANKS CLAY
	10:06am PaulRobeson1922: Thanks Clay! Hi Hi Hi Johnny
	10:07am sphere: @ RRN63: I saw that Jeff Beck/SRV tour (that was Stevie's last I think). I must admit that live Jeff Beck was totally insane in the best possible way.
	10:07am People Like Us: sounds 100% like 1980s ska/2-tone but I don't know
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @sphere: I saw a show from that tour (Worcester, MA). Great show (and incredibly loud!)
	10:08am Andres: Those were some seductive sounds.
	👻 10:08am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Steve Vai's Zappa audition story is also well known. Basically, Zappa give him a melody, add notes, subtract notes, play it in different time, feel tempo... And then adds a couple more factors that literally makes playing the part impossible. Zappa's response: "Well, I hear Linda Ronstandt is looking for a guitar player." Of course, he was poking Vai and Vai passed the audition.
	10:08am BennyThePlug: Thanks for the great tunes today, Clay and crew! We're loving it at the shop!
	10:08am winston legthigh: hey johnny glad you made it!
	10:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @People Like Us: Yes, that's what most of us (including efd) said. But no Shazam, no goggling of lyrics...nothin'!!
	10:09am sphere: Yeah, glad you are here JA.
	10:09am Edgar from Maine: It's pretty well produced. How did they know it's '81-82?
	10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @sphere - seen JeffBeck in a more recent era ...& he had me hallucinating concentric circle on no more than a pint. I still passionately wanna be him in 1966 fergawdsake...
	10:13am sphere: @ RRN63: Totally. You have to go with your ears, and from what little I have heard, the recordings don't do Beck justice.
	👻 10:14am Handy Haversack: And JAll shall be well. And JAll manner of things shall be well. Morning, JA.
	👻 10:20am Mike H: Digging this Tarika Blue. Looks like a pretty rare record
	10:21am sphere: you can find Tarika Blue on Bandcamp no problem. it was covered by their Daily folks once.
	10:23am G: @Edgar: As I recall it's on an old mixtape with no song list, and other known songs on the tape are from 81-82...
	10:25am Jessie: Captain Beefheart gave drummer Cliff Martinez a cassette of his wife washing the dishes and told him to write a percussion piece for the Ice Cream For Crow album based on that sound. Cliff thought that was easy based on the clanging of pots and plates. What Cliff didn't realize was that Beefheart wanted a percussion piece written around the sound of the water coming out of the tap, not the dishes.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko guested on some sitcom - & the plot was she asked this character to photograph the wind - & the character was all distraught that it was impossible & didn't make any sense ...& @ the end she's like ...no big deal - it's just an idea !
	10:29am abbazabba: "Moth Cock"
	10:29am McGroovey: People Like Us @10:01 Eek. Yes, it sounds like a joke, but stranger things have happened. Boris renounced his US citizenship in 2017, so he can't run for Congress. It would probably be a simple thing to require it, though. He can't be President, either, for the same reason, but also because there's a 14-year residency requirement. But he could still get his face on Fox News. Or be in the cabinet. Q: Why do we even have to think about these things? A: Because stupid things happen. #TOOMANYSTUPIDPEOPLE
	10:31am StringOFperils: Well, batten down the hatches for Liz Truss.
	10:31am ranjit: "Thanks Pidge, thanks Jaco" - a prayer for the 21st century
	10:32am sphere: "Out of the frying pan and into the fire" might be the unofficial Tory motto.
	👻 10:32am YETI BOB: been wondering what moth cock sounds like since i first heard the name. turns out it's way better than i expected!
	10:32am People Like Us: Boris will just be an idiot that does after dinner speeches in the US
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Tune in The Pidge on the Verrazano Bridge!
	10:33am sphere: @ YETI BOB: I was convinced to buy the new Moth Cock sight unseen, so that is good news indeed.
	10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am absolutely confident Liz is the one to make Brexit magically work & make sense. ...She wants to be Thatcher - but utilities are about to go up 80% or something. Not a ride Boris wanted I suppose...
	10:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You just like saying "Moth Cock"
	10:34am People Like Us: you mean she might even make it legal again to work in mainland Europe? At the moment it's crippled the music/artist/band industry
	10:35am Andres: More fun to say it over the airwaves.
	👻 10:35am Handy Haversack: I have to say, I have yet to see a usage of "moth cock" that hasn't made me happy to be here.
	10:36am chresti: Boris in the US, he'll be on talk shows.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...read something that before the Tories had even decided for sure which would be PM - they all have written letters of No Confidence for each of them. Efficient these Conservatives, you see...
	10:36am johnbeym: mouth cock is cool
	10:37am StringOFperils: Alas, there are always more storms off the starboard bow; just be prepared, as the boy-scouts used to say.
	10:38am terminalhipness: I don't follow this site, but this came up near the top of a search for "moth cock" pitchfork.com...
	10:39am greg from montreal: Amazing songs, thank you!
	10:39am HyperDose: I like your avatar, johnbeym. Sp00ky month can't come soon enough.
	10:39am Andres: Moth cumbia?
	10:40am winston legthigh: moth cock envy.
	10:40am chresti: I'm all for oddball experimentation.
	10:40am Andrew Waterloo: moth cock is like Tipsy.. except weird.
	10:41am chresti: @pitchfork
	10:41am Feldy: This is bonkers. In a good way.
	👻 10:41am Handy Haversack: Though maybe it's being a reader of China Miéville that makes "moth cock" take on a little extra resonance of uncanny terror.
	10:44am John Allen: moth cock has everything going for it
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: HH: it made me wonder how moths actually mate, so I found this. sciencing.com... It does mention "genitalia" and some interesting mating behaviour
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: "Acoustic signaling moths use ultrasonic sounds to attract mates. In these species, it is often the male that emits sounds to attract the female. For example, the male Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) uses his ultrasonic song to attract receptive females. His song causes the females to 'freeze,' increasing mating success"
	👻 10:46am YETI BOB: "The gold swift moth (Phymatopus hecta) of Northern Europe and Asia has an extremely elaborate mating system with more than seven different courtship strategies. Unusually, both the male and female emit pheromones to attract each other. The males also sometimes form groups, called leks. In the leks, they flutter and perch together, displaying their wings and bright yellow scent brushes (a cluster of hairs on their legs containing pineapple-scented pheromones). Females come to view the lek, then pick their favorite from the group to mate with."
	10:47am coelacanth∅: this moth cock is right up my alley
	👻 10:47am Handy Haversack: Moth Cock should call their tour the Lek Party.
	👻 10:48am nathan: i feel compelled to break from my usual lurking to say "moth cock"
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Moths have pineapple scented ritual sex. Don'chaknow.
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: RR: With ultrasonic music that makes you freeze in place!
	10:49am sphere: @ Handy: After you mentioned Mieville, I did have to flinch in horror briefly. :)
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But can they pass the Zappa audition.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Gotta make those saving throws, sphere!
	10:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sure, they'd just play ALL of the Zappa catalog at the same time, from what I heard.
	10:50am sphere: @ Handy: LOL
	10:51am winston legthigh: morhra cock, now that would be something.
	10:51am Kat in Chicago: The Hausu Mountain discography is worth digging into. Label is run by a couple of nice weirdo Deadheads
	10:52am winston legthigh: *mothra
	10:52am Kat in Chicago: I actually saw Moth Cock play a show a few years back
	10:52am sphere: I like Hausu Mountain a lot. :)
	10:53am HyperDose: This was sampled in something. A Tribe song maybe?
	10:54am johnbeym: ah, the residents I saw their tune of two cities show waaaaaay back when
	10:55am Ivan: and Wu-Tang www.whosampled.com...
	10:56am desi: LOVE the pigeon to JA JAM
	10:56am The Oscar: @Hyperdose Yep-- "Can I Kick It!"
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - the U.S. Legendary company did give Mothra a stinger ...just sayin'.
	10:58am HyperDose: Thanks Ivan and Oscar! 🧠
	11:02am winston legthigh: lols rrn63! full moon weekend yahoo!
	11:03am doctorjazz: Nice to Gabe this shoe Thursday AM, couldn't listen in the old time slot.
	11:04am Kat in Chicago: Cocktober?
	11:04am John Allen: DR J / show is moving back to the rightful friday mornings next week.
	11:04am John Allen: exkatly!
	11:06am winston legthigh: was planning on getting some work done today but moth cock has other ideas.
	👻 11:06am Handy Haversack: I like to think of it is as Thursdays not being Fridays anymore.
	11:07am doctorjazz: Adds,will have to listen to archives,very cool show! (At least I got a chance to check it out in real time...)
	11:10am abbazabba: And now the name of this artist. I am sensing a theme to today's show
	11:11am winston legthigh: abbazabba! 😂
	11:12am John Allen: i am seeing the name moth cock a lot more than there are stars
	11:12am Meesalikeu: schweet jamz
	11:13am Andrew Waterloo: just order a moth cock boxed set
	11:13am doctorjazz: Great Minus tune (cover by his drummer)!
	11:14am winston legthigh: nice beaver. thanks, just had it stuffed.
	11:14am doctorjazz: *Mingus (damn phone)
	11:14am John Allen: abbazabba, i can assure you moth cock blocked the rest of this set
	11:14am coelacanth∅: i like the Beaver too. i can really sink my teeth into it
	11:15am John Allen: you all are showing why jazz isn't being promoted in schools as much anymore
	11:17am winston legthigh: as much as i enjoy calculating roof pitches and drawing them on graph paper, this is way more fun.
	👻 11:20am nathan: yeah well, i don't pay taxes for my kids to be learning about moth cock in school
	11:21am HyperDose: Sorry, John. All for separation of church and state, but I draw the line at jazz in the classroom. What about the children?!
	11:22am doctorjazz: They talk about jazz in school? They ever talked about it? I didn't hear about it until college...
	11:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hell, you can't even teach empathy in public schools anymore. Jazz?? That's WAY out!
	11:23am sphere: We had jazz ensembles in school but that was a-whiles back....
	👻 11:23am karlward: Separation of jazz happened to me just this morning
	11:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bass sounds like the slowed-down version of the South Park theme.
	👻 11:24am karlward: Me and jazz got back together just now but it was touch and go for a minute
	11:24am abbazabba: hahaha thanks!
	11:25am sphere: @ karlward: Why the separation? What did jazz do to you?
	11:25am winston legthigh: the letter z is banned in florida school books. jazz is doubly banned.
	11:26am HyperDose: Make sure jazz knows your worth, karlward
	11:27am McGroovey: "Jazz" used to be spelled "Jass". Reverting to that spelling could be a partial workaround.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Free your JAZZ, your class will follow.
	👻 11:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Come to the PTA meeting and claim that jazz evolved from bebop and then watch the ruckus that ensues.
	👻 11:33am karlward: Jazz was all "how about a drum solo where each bar increments the numerator by 1 and denominator by 2, so first bar 1/1, second 2/3, 3/5, 4/7 and so on" and I was just like "I can't, I just can't" and then jazz just played 4/4 glaring at me THE WHOLE TIME
	11:34am coelacanth∅: that's a future classic,Handy
	11:34am sphere: @ karlward: how terrible! what did you do?
	11:36am PaulRobeson1922: @RR1963 @10:29: So long as you cannot go beyond the wind, my friend, you cannot reach the Way
	11:36am doctorjazz: Have to sees Lewis!
	11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I got a Charles Minus on my JazzQuiz...
	11:37am steveo: oh jeez, is it Friday already?
	👻 11:37am karlward: sphere: We both agreed not to play drums, all drum machine now, I think it will work out
	11:37am HyperDose: @Handy Does K8 plan to infuze (with a "z" because it's cool 😎) a lil jazz/funk/fusion into her curriculum?
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...VinceGuaraldi just makes wahwah muted trumpet noises with his voice offscreen & beats you with a ruler ...I'm done with JazzClass...
	11:42am sphere: @ karlward: good to hear it. as the hippies said: "music is love."
	11:50am StringOFperils: Torrential downpour of goodness.
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: K8 used to be the singer in a jazz band! Mary Wing actually found one of her covers and played it during a 3OAK without realizing it was K8!
	11:52am abbazabba: I am digging this ken mcintyre trio
	11:52am johnbeym: I agree
	11:54am HyperDose: Would love a link to that archive at your earliest convenience ❤️

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from September 8, 2022

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:24am winston legthigh: this is a nice surprise. bake on!
	9:24am queems: now it’s a party
	👻 9:24am Mike H: You’re doin great Clay
	9:24am PNX: Free the Pidge!
	9:24am onthetrain: Clay can we switch to some psychedelic rock next ?
	9:24am hairboat: clay pigeon: MVP!
	9:24am onthetrain: Some 13th floor elevators maybe. ?
	👻 9:24am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): I miss X-Ray Burns, even if he was a bootlicking lunatic in the end.
	9:24am Lana in Bucksom County: A true showman you are, Clay!! ... I think Jonesy made it into the Guinness Book, with his marathon, didn't he?
	9:25am Lord Jimz: is that Renzi spirit buffalo?
	9:25am Uleeshuh TN: extra pixie
	9:25am Rich in Wading River: @Mike H - I wouldn't be surprised if it's calendar confusion
	9:25am sphere: I was a baritone horn/trombone geek in 1982 and nothing on the radio spoke to me.
	9:25am berkshires matty: I know how edgy I get in my little life when I'm late, can only imagine how a DJ would feel
	9:25am winston legthigh: you must be tired but the time and a half don't suck.
	9:25am Lana in Bucksom County: I dig what you're throwin' down, Clay
	9:26am Edgar from Maine: I'm picturing JA walking slowly along the sidewalk towards WFMU with sunglasses on, reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette ... casually glancing at his watch and dancing to the music.
	9:26am chresti: What?
	9:26am JetBoy now of Astoria: I saw a guy playing baritone horn for tips in the Union square subway station yesterday. That was a first. I also played the baritone as a kid
	9:27am winston legthigh: horn rock \m/
	9:27am StringOFperils: It's okay, chresti. Just breathe.
	👻 9:27am captain beef fart: Play some Billy Joel!
	9:28am StringOFperils: Aack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack
	9:28am sphere: @ JetBoy: I played in the tuba/baritone horn choir that played Christmas songs on the Ellipse (Washington DC)!
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: WHY
	9:28am Rich in Wading River: I remember there was a show a few years back when Kenny G had a shift on WFMU and he just played the whole entire Chicago live album, intending to piss off the listenership
	9:28am G: Why not?
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: (By the Byrds)
	9:28am Lana in Bucksom County: Edgar, LOL! I enjoyed that Jazzercise session yesterday. The old videos are really delightful too, especially her crew.
	9:28am PaulRobeson1922: Please!!!!!!
	9:28am Lord Jimz: Awesome Clay! You know how to throw down! What is this chord progression based on?
	9:29am sphere: And this is funny again. I changed over to electric bass and pretty much based my style in opposition to everything Jaco stood for. I think I loved reverb on bass solely because Jaco loved chorus.
	9:29am HyperDose: Appreciate you working overtime for us today, Clay ❤️
	9:29am BillyLundun: It's an all day Pidgefest!
	9:29am chresti: Morning StringO! Morning Clay!
	9:30am PaulRobeson1922: Oh why oh whyy Morning, chresti!
	9:30am sphere: @PaulRobeson1922 - totally with your sentiment, dude.
	9:30am winston legthigh: was just thinking we need a wake after party and my wish is granted.
	9:31am Lana in Bucksom County: Oh, yes, thank you, Clay!! For your sweet and peaceful transition. Didn't you do this a few months bag, and you played all prog?
	9:31am PaulRobeson1922: Thanks, sphere. & good morning to U!
	9:31am doctorjazz: Hi all!
	9:31am chresti: Morning PaulRobe!
	9:31am Edgar from Maine: Jazz is ok. It just needs more screaming.
	👻 9:31am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): HA!!! I LOVE the jazz-fusion beatnik version of The Pidge!!!! Where else can you hear Mahavushnu Orchestra on the airwaves?
	👻 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: If there's a jazz rendition of "Roger The Rocket Ship" out there, today might be the day for it!
	9:32am G: Boy, he is late... And no text/call?
	9:32am Strandlund: CP in the AM!! Be-Bop-Be-Bop-Be-Bop-A-Dinga-Da!!
	👻 9:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Subtle Mahavishnu humor: Their song "Resolution" never resolves.
	9:33am G: Irresolution
	9:33am banksy68: Hey Pidge, how about “you know, you know” by mahavishnu?
	9:33am Lana in Bucksom County: Me too, Johnny in SC. These are the magic moments.
	9:33am medson: FOGHAT !!!!!
	9:33am StringOFperils: Back in the 70s, when I had this Mahavishnu Orchestra in heavy rotation down in the basement bedroom, my dad would return from the paper mill and want to kill me (I think). Not too long before I moved out.
	👻 9:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Can we hear S.A.M. do some scat? Maybe cover an Ella Fitzgerald tune?
	9:34am Jessie: I love that Billy took the MVO construct, added brass, and...found the one guitarist on Earth who could shred like McLaughlin to make this opening section COOK.
	9:34am sphere: Nothing that WFMU has done with fusion and prog lately that has changed my mind that 1) fusion began and ended with Miles 2) prog is the one genre that I would retroactively wipe from existence. The only thing I would regret is the loss of Cereberus Shoal.
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): McLaughlin had a trio for a time in the 90's that was just him, Kai Ekhardt on bass, and Trilok Gurtu on tablas. Really cool. Sorta like Shakti.
	9:34am G: Thanks for your input, sphere.
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hope J.A. is O.K. ...there has to be a Dissolution to every Problem...
	9:35am sphere: @ G: Always happy to help. Isn't WFMU all about going against the grain? Even when going against the grain is going against the grain.
	9:35am queems: i love when clay pigeon gets to play whatever he wants
	9:36am StringOFperils: Stanley with his active Alembic bass
	9:36am G: @queems: Freeform, who knew lol
	👻 9:36am Handy Haversack: Word, queems!
	9:36am Edgar from Maine: I'm listening to this while watching "The Song Remains the Same" with the volume off.
	9:36am Lana in Bucksom County: Love Stanley Clark - got me into bass, and bass players
	👻 9:36am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Woods : Was that Remember Shakti? I have a bootleg live recording where Trilok Gurtu plays a walking blues bassline ON TABLAS! Mindblowing!
	9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Listener Jonny: I really think it was called John McLaughlin Trio....now I've gotta go look....
	9:37am winston legthigh: handy!
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: winston!
	9:38am Deano de los Muertos: Hope John is ok
	9:38am Hughie Considine: @Sphere, that is what FMU is all about. Prog is a divisive genre, and you're not alone.
	9:38am doctorjazz: This is great!!!!
	9:38am StringOFperils: Hah, this is cool; I haven't heard this since the late '70s. I need to hear the rest of this again.
	9:38am Hughie Considine: I always loved this jam -- it's about as poppy as Stanley Clarke ever got.
	9:38am Lord Jimz: yes sphere
	9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This is one of the recordings: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 9:39am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: There is recently a website/blog/project that has the recorded history of Miles Davis' electric period, from 68 to 74. Bootleg recordings as free mp3s from nearly every performance in that era. If you like Live/Evil, Dark Magus, Pangea, Big Fun and Agharta, then you would LOVE this.
	9:39am Mi-rgod: Who's on guitar on this track? Sounds like Steve Morse to me but mebbe just 'cause it's a very Dixie Dregs-y sounding tune.
	9:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hughie Considine: Except when he did those recordings in Animal Logic w/Stewart Copeland and Deborah Holland.
	9:40am sphere: @ Listener Jonny: OOOH! That sounds sweet. :)
	9:40am Mi-rgod: Ah Jeff Beck!
	👻 9:40am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: Let me look...
	👻 9:40am Handy Haversack: sphere and LJiSC(O): Creamo played three hours from that MD archive on Tuesday's SAB: www.wfmu.org... Links to the archive in the chat there.
	9:40am sphere: Totally forgot about Animal Logic. They sounded intriguing but somehow I never caught up with them.
	9:40am Lana in Bucksom County: Yes, Clay did a last minute follow-up fill-in, three hours!! Was it last winter? It was fantastic. Now let's see, which DJ were the listeners expecting then....
	9:41am Mi-rgod: this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ornette!!!! Ha, I played this record for one of my music-loving grandkidz. He did not appreciate it. At all.
	👻 9:42am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere: Here you go! And everyone else too! theheatwarps.com
	9:42am Panther: Jazz it up Pidge!!! So cool!!! Extended PidgePlay!!
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): First Animal Logic record was great. Loved Holland's vocals on "Spy In The House of Love"
	9:43am Baja Joe: Hoping John is safe and well. In the meantime, enjoying the Clay P in the Ante meridiem
	9:43am davehamilton: hmmm, nice!
	9:43am sphere: Music really is a journey. Chicago Me would have never understood Keiji Haino Me.
	9:43am StringOFperils: thx 4 heatwarps link !!
	9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes well - if Fusion waters down the complexity of Jazz - & also the power of Rawk - then you have the worst of both worlds. Sometimes however other things happen(ed). Sundays on the Drummer stream you know there is the destination : Out! program - & others besides on this station have helped me realize that 'Bitches Brew' was not such a solitary corner of the universe after all. People have taken it in all kinds of directions - & they are many. & Im thinking not so much of trying to be radio-friendly like 'Fusion' was @ all ...altho one did used to hear Jazz-adjacent Musics that way on the radio (meaning 'normal' commercial radio) - which is a little hard to remember now...
	9:44am Jessie: Ornette Coleman’s “Free Jazz” used Jackson Pollock’s “White Light” for the album cover.
	9:44am Colleen: CLAY ALL DAY!!
	9:44am davehamilton: hope you're getting overtime CP
	👻 9:44am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): More long winded free-jazz stuff please!
	9:44am sphere: yes indeed, thanks for the link Johnny!
	9:44am z bong: hope JA is A-OK
	9:45am sphere: @ z bong: me too.
	9:45am b0b0b0b Plasticland: don't blame J A put the blame on WFMU for moving so many shows around ...too much Cut and Paste!!
	9:46am terminalhipness: what not going for the full side?
	👻 9:46am Handy Haversack: Listen to that crazy Pigeon fly!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wynton Marsalis observed that historically Rawk is actually a branch off the Jazz tree anyhow - so how can one speak of 'Fusing' them really - which is somewhat legit... 'Oh - I'm still Thursday this week ?!?'...
	9:47am mark/denver: thanks for ornette
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw Ornette with Prime Time (when Tone Dialing came out) and man, it was a trip. They'd go off on what I thought HAD to be lost avenues but then they'd stop on a dime and go off in a different direction. It was crazy great.
	9:47am Andrew Waterloo: People used to go outside and smoke when Ornette hit the stage.
	👻 9:48am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): "St Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast" by Frank Zappa
	👻 9:48am YETI BOB: Stomu!
	👻 9:48am Mike H: If JA really was/is at a Kiwanis event... lol
	9:48am sphere: @RRN63: To extend the metaphor, we all have relatives that we don't get along with. :)
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Ornette.
	9:48am winston legthigh: perfect excuse to puff.
	👻 9:48am chris_in_space: I love it when you get to indulge in a jazz odyssey, @Clay!
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: RevRab: Rock uses guitars, jazz uses saxophones. And when you have both it's fusion.
	9:49am People Like Us: Hope John is OK!
	9:49am Clay Pigeon: So fun for me! Hoping Johnny is OK!
	9:49am eva: good morning
	9:49am StringOFperils: It'd be awfully boring if creativity and change weren't frothing and boiling over...sorta like flat beer.
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: (don't confuse me by mentioning Kenny Burrell or Wes Montgomery or any one like that)
	9:50am sphere: @ YETI BOB: Should we call Painkiller "fusion"?
	👻 9:50am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wynton Marsalis is also full of shit. Wynton thinks that Miles and Coltrane are not "authentic" in the history and significance of jazz. Remember, Wynton showed up to a Miles show with his trumpet and walked out on stage uninvited and unannounced. Miles walked his ass back offf stage.
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB - so BillHaley was Fusion ...he was def a Fusion in fact.
	9:50am Lana in Bucksom County: Fly Pidge!! Am Iloing it, or did Stomu do an album with Steve Winwood?
	9:50am Andrew Waterloo: Somebody asked me the difference between Blues and Jazz...
	👻 9:50am YETI BOB: @sphere - yes @revrab - no that's going too far
	9:51am chresti: I think I might of seen Chicago. maybe they were playing with the Almond Bros?
	9:51am sphere: Blues is from the country, jazz is from the city.
	9:51am StringOFperils: My fave Zoot track!
	👻 9:51am Handy Haversack: Instant request, Jonny!
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I liked early Wynton (up to Majesty of the Blues) but then him and Crouch established the Church of Armstrong and Ellington. Kind of boring and predictable.
	👻 9:51am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): blush
	9:52am Andrew Waterloo: @sphere.. yah.. pretty much.. but another person in the group started talking time signatures...
	9:52am mark/ denver: thanks for zappa..not enough zappa on fmu...too much mainstream shit
	9:52am abbazabba: Yeah, I joked earlier, but I hope JA is okay
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ListenerJonny - yeah but Wynton is also sometimes quotable. I just finally saw 'Chasing Trane' - & there's the obligatory Wynton facetime - & he's fine. I think he's grown up somewhat. If I may say such a pompous thing myself.
	9:53am Flaco: Extra Clay in the morning--added bonus! Also, somebody call a doctor... because that Mahavishnu was SICK SICK SICK! And now Zappa?! Go, Clay, Go!
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: oh no what's happening to me I'm actually enjoying this Zappa
	9:54am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think that Branford went on to do much more interesting stuff, at least to my ear. The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born is a fantastic album.
	👻 9:54am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Woods: I concur completely. Wynton also pisses me off for completely ignoring the Chicago scene and Art Ensemble of Chicago and the more avant garde domains of jazz. I would argue that, culturally, Art Ensemble of Chicago and AACM are the pinacle of jazz-as-American-artform.
	👻 9:54am Handy Haversack: YB: I knew you'd be surprised!
	9:54am Barefoot Jimmy G: Yay Clay! Yay Zappa!
	9:54am JetBoy now of Astoria: I, for one, welcome our new pigeon overlord.
	9:54am Lana in Bucksom County: Oooh, who's the drummer on this Zappa track? Love the syncopation!
	9:55am Jeremy_S: Man this is exactly the fill-in show I would have wished for. Excellent work, CP!
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: i generally find FZ kind of unbearable but i'm digging this
	👻 9:55am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Lana: I'm pretty sure it's Bozzio
	9:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Instrumental Zappa is almost always better than the vocal stuff. I think the drummer is Terry Bozio?
	9:55am DJ Guin: 🎵 The Queen is dead, boys But, it's so lonely on a limb Life is very long, when you're lonely. Life is very long, when you're lonely 🎵
	9:55am sphere: @ Andrew Waterloo: It's not like the blues and jazz didn't evolve from there, so I don't think that time signatures matter.
	9:55am Barbara in PA: Played that Zappa record till it wore out back in the day.
	9:55am HyperDose: We have a visual. Target acquired. 🎯
	9:55am Lana in Bucksom County: Oh thanks Jonny, that makes sense
	👻 9:56am Mike H: Also shocked how much I enjoyed that Zappa track
	9:56am geo in jc: He better have a donut
	9:56am Deano de los Muertos: Thanks again for doing this, Clay!
	9:56am sphere: @ Lana: Say what you want about Zappa, but he always has excellent taste in drummers.
	9:56am Lana in Bucksom County: I'm guessing it's a Johnny A Traffic Delay
	👻 9:56am YETI BOB: @AW: I saw Cooper-Moore once, he opened with a song, "The Blues is the Mother Of Jazz" - but who is the mother of the blues? Then went on to "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child"
	👻 9:56am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Thanks Pidge!!! You get THE gold star for today!!!!
	9:56am StringOFperils: Thanks for the bonus Pigeon time, gotta run!
	9:57am ?: Love love love how clay pivoted and did an amazing spot on hour of jas program
	👻 9:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Ah, maybe JA assumed Daylight Saving Time has ended.
	9:57am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: @Jetboy - thumbs up to that comment!
	9:57am Edgar from Maine: Thanks Clay. Good stuff.
	9:57am DJ Guin: love you Clay.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Listener Jonny: Yeah, I remember being on the (I think) John Zorn mailing list and there was a discussion about how in a head-cutting thing, Lester Bowie would have layed waste to him.
	9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zappa & his bands - unbelievable. The jokes & attitudes aside - I get tired of his cynicism but those players drag me back every time. What to compare it to quite? ...There was sort of a spiritual / ideological competition with Mahavishnu... ...Yeah Wynton as Musician ...I can't think of anything I even know. Somehow.
	9:57am Lana in Bucksom County: Thank you Clay!!!! You were wonderful
	9:57am Andres: Thank you, Clay!!
	👻 9:57am Mike H: Way to fill in Clay, sounded great
	9:57am winston legthigh: thanks pidge! catch you on the flipper!
	9:57am sphere: OH NO CLAY (lol)
	👻 9:57am Handy Haversack: Way to be, Clay! Thanks for keeping the ship on course! Hi, Barbara!
	9:57am mark/denver: saw zappa 5 tumes fillmore east once with fli and Eddie and captain beefheart..great live shows!!!
	9:57am Strandlund: Thank You Clay Pigeon!!
	9:57am terminalhipness: Thanks Clay, saw a whole other side today
	9:58am renzo: Thanks C.P.
	9:58am BillyLundun: Thanks Clay! Great to hear some Pidge picks!
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: was sort of hoping for a long conversation between Clay and JA
	9:58am chresti: Thanks Clay
	9:58am People Like Us: thanks Clay :)
	9:58am abbazabba: Thanks for keeping the faith, Clay
	9:58am DJ Guin: Queen Elizabeth is circling the drain...take the Donald with you, please.
	9:58am Clay Pigeon: Thanks everyone! John is OK!!!! See you tomorrow! This was really fun for me!
	9:58am People Like Us: yes I was waiting for "where the hell have you been?" conversation :)
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: You excel, Clay
	👻 9:58am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Sphere and @Lana: Check out the video on youtube on Zappa's drummers. A discussion between Terry Bozio, Chester Thompson, Ralph Humphrey, Chad Wackerman and gasp Ruth Underwood. AMAZING and HILARIOUS. Chester Thompson's story of is audition and starting in the Zappa band is great. The music scared him so bad he said he didn't sleep for the first two months he played with Zappa.
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Yes. I saw Terry Bozio at a drum clinic one time and he talked about Zappa auditions and how he had to play "Approximate" after listening to it for a little bit. Just crazy.
	9:59am LEX: GREAT SET TODAY, ESPECIALLY THE JAZZ
	👻 9:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Pidge!
	9:59am People Like Us: I somehow doubt Queen Elisabeth wants to take Donald Trump ANYWHERE
	10:00am davehamilton: xtra dark web sanka to keep going that xtra hour?
	👻 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Taking him to prison would be nice, Vicki.
	10:00am People Like Us: YES
	10:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @People Like Us: Are you aware of the Evan Funk Davies "mystery song"?
	10:01am StringOFperils: Bunk Gardner and Don Preston's audition stories are also good.
	10:01am Edgar from Maine: monarchy and fascism both suck and are pointless
	10:01am People Like Us: you'll be getting Boris Johnson over in the US by the end of the year, mark my words!
	10:01am Barbara in PA: Hi Handy!
	10:01am People Like Us: what mystery song?
	10:01am Lana in Bucksom County: Thank Jonny, looking forward to checking that out. Love Chester Thompson, not so familiar with the others. Drumming as almost as interesting to watch as to listen to.
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw Terry Bozio with JeffBeck on the tour with Steven Ray Vaughan ...& Terry had us shouting for himself.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Check yesterday's playlist. It's a song he received and can't identify. So far, nobody can. Some of us thought you might know who it is.
	10:02am People Like Us: oh ok
	10:02am StringOFperils: Oh Vicky. Say it ain't so.
	👻 10:03am YETI BOB: No that was Weezer
	10:03am People Like Us: @woodsofNH - where on the playlist? wfmu.org...
	10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I am chuckling at your Zappa thing. I'll say the same thing if/when I enjoy Ween.
	10:04am People Like Us: oh found it
	10:04am BennyThePlug: I hope Clay gets OT. :)
	10:04am Edgar from Maine: 01:33:04 @people
	10:05am JA IN THE AM: THANKS CLAY
	10:06am PaulRobeson1922: Thanks Clay! Hi Hi Hi Johnny
	10:07am sphere: @ RRN63: I saw that Jeff Beck/SRV tour (that was Stevie's last I think). I must admit that live Jeff Beck was totally insane in the best possible way.
	10:07am People Like Us: sounds 100% like 1980s ska/2-tone but I don't know
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @sphere: I saw a show from that tour (Worcester, MA). Great show (and incredibly loud!)
	10:08am Andres: Those were some seductive sounds.
	👻 10:08am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Steve Vai's Zappa audition story is also well known. Basically, Zappa give him a melody, add notes, subtract notes, play it in different time, feel tempo... And then adds a couple more factors that literally makes playing the part impossible. Zappa's response: "Well, I hear Linda Ronstandt is looking for a guitar player." Of course, he was poking Vai and Vai passed the audition.
	10:08am BennyThePlug: Thanks for the great tunes today, Clay and crew! We're loving it at the shop!
	10:08am winston legthigh: hey johnny glad you made it!
	10:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @People Like Us: Yes, that's what most of us (including efd) said. But no Shazam, no goggling of lyrics...nothin'!!
	10:09am sphere: Yeah, glad you are here JA.
	10:09am Edgar from Maine: It's pretty well produced. How did they know it's '81-82?
	10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @sphere - seen JeffBeck in a more recent era ...& he had me hallucinating concentric circle on no more than a pint. I still passionately wanna be him in 1966 fergawdsake...
	10:13am sphere: @ RRN63: Totally. You have to go with your ears, and from what little I have heard, the recordings don't do Beck justice.
	👻 10:14am Handy Haversack: And JAll shall be well. And JAll manner of things shall be well. Morning, JA.
	👻 10:20am Mike H: Digging this Tarika Blue. Looks like a pretty rare record
	10:21am sphere: you can find Tarika Blue on Bandcamp no problem. it was covered by their Daily folks once.
	10:23am G: @Edgar: As I recall it's on an old mixtape with no song list, and other known songs on the tape are from 81-82...
	10:25am Jessie: Captain Beefheart gave drummer Cliff Martinez a cassette of his wife washing the dishes and told him to write a percussion piece for the Ice Cream For Crow album based on that sound. Cliff thought that was easy based on the clanging of pots and plates. What Cliff didn't realize was that Beefheart wanted a percussion piece written around the sound of the water coming out of the tap, not the dishes.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko guested on some sitcom - & the plot was she asked this character to photograph the wind - & the character was all distraught that it was impossible & didn't make any sense ...& @ the end she's like ...no big deal - it's just an idea !
	10:29am abbazabba: "Moth Cock"
	10:29am McGroovey: People Like Us @10:01 Eek. Yes, it sounds like a joke, but stranger things have happened. Boris renounced his US citizenship in 2017, so he can't run for Congress. It would probably be a simple thing to require it, though. He can't be President, either, for the same reason, but also because there's a 14-year residency requirement. But he could still get his face on Fox News. Or be in the cabinet. Q: Why do we even have to think about these things? A: Because stupid things happen. #TOOMANYSTUPIDPEOPLE
	10:31am StringOFperils: Well, batten down the hatches for Liz Truss.

	10:33am sphere: @ YETI BOB: I was convinced to buy the new Moth Cock sight unseen, so that is good news indeed.
	10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am absolutely confident Liz is the one to make Brexit magically work & make sense. ...She wants to be Thatcher - but utilities are about to go up 80% or something. Not a ride Boris wanted I suppose...
	10:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You just like saying "Moth Cock"
	10:34am People Like Us: you mean she might even make it legal again to work in mainland Europe? At the moment it's crippled the music/artist/band industry
	10:35am Andres: More fun to say it over the airwaves.
	👻 10:35am Handy Haversack: I have to say, I have yet to see a usage of "moth cock" that hasn't made me happy to be here.
	10:36am chresti: Boris in the US, he'll be on talk shows.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...read something that before the Tories had even decided for sure which would be PM - they all have written letters of No Confidence for each of them. Efficient these Conservatives, you see...
	10:36am johnbeym: mouth cock is cool
	10:37am StringOFperils: Alas, there are always more storms off the starboard bow; just be prepared, as the boy-scouts used to say.
	10:38am terminalhipness: I don't follow this site, but this came up near the top of a search for "moth cock" pitchfork.com...
	10:39am greg from montreal: Amazing songs, thank you!
	10:39am HyperDose: I like your avatar, johnbeym. Sp00ky month can't come soon enough.
	10:39am Andres: Moth cumbia?
	10:40am winston legthigh: moth cock envy.
	10:40am chresti: I'm all for oddball experimentation.
	10:40am Andrew Waterloo: moth cock is like Tipsy.. except weird.
	10:41am chresti: @pitchfork
	10:41am Feldy: This is bonkers. In a good way.
	👻 10:41am Handy Haversack: Though maybe it's being a reader of China Miéville that makes "moth cock" take on a little extra resonance of uncanny terror.
	10:44am John Allen: moth cock has everything going for it
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: HH: it made me wonder how moths actually mate, so I found this. sciencing.com... It does mention "genitalia" and some interesting mating behaviour
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: "Acoustic signaling moths use ultrasonic sounds to attract mates. In these species, it is often the male that emits sounds to attract the female. For example, the male Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) uses his ultrasonic song to attract receptive females. His song causes the females to 'freeze,' increasing mating success"
	👻 10:46am YETI BOB: "The gold swift moth (Phymatopus hecta) of Northern Europe and Asia has an extremely elaborate mating system with more than seven different courtship strategies. Unusually, both the male and female emit pheromones to attract each other. The males also sometimes form groups, called leks. In the leks, they flutter and perch together, displaying their wings and bright yellow scent brushes (a cluster of hairs on their legs containing pineapple-scented pheromones). Females come to view the lek, then pick their favorite from the group to mate with."
	10:47am coelacanth∅: this moth cock is right up my alley
	👻 10:47am Handy Haversack: Moth Cock should call their tour the Lek Party.
	👻 10:48am nathan: i feel compelled to break from my usual lurking to say "moth cock"
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Moths have pineapple scented ritual sex. Don'chaknow.
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: RR: With ultrasonic music that makes you freeze in place!
	10:49am sphere: @ Handy: After you mentioned Mieville, I did have to flinch in horror briefly. :)
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: But can they pass the Zappa audition.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Gotta make those saving throws, sphere!
	10:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sure, they'd just play ALL of the Zappa catalog at the same time, from what I heard.
	10:50am sphere: @ Handy: LOL
	10:51am winston legthigh: morhra cock, now that would be something.
	10:51am Kat in Chicago: The Hausu Mountain discography is worth digging into. Label is run by a couple of nice weirdo Deadheads
	10:52am winston legthigh: *mothra
	10:52am Kat in Chicago: I actually saw Moth Cock play a show a few years back
	10:52am sphere: I like Hausu Mountain a lot. :)
	10:53am HyperDose: This was sampled in something. A Tribe song maybe?
	10:54am johnbeym: ah, the residents I saw their tune of two cities show waaaaaay back when
	10:55am Ivan: and Wu-Tang www.whosampled.com...
	10:56am desi: LOVE the pigeon to JA JAM
	10:56am The Oscar: @Hyperdose Yep-- "Can I Kick It!"
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - the U.S. Legendary company did give Mothra a stinger ...just sayin'.
	10:58am HyperDose: Thanks Ivan and Oscar! 🧠
	11:02am winston legthigh: lols rrn63! full moon weekend yahoo!
	11:03am doctorjazz: Nice to Gabe this shoe Thursday AM, couldn't listen in the old time slot.
	11:04am Kat in Chicago: Cocktober?
	11:04am John Allen: DR J / show is moving back to the rightful friday mornings next week.
	11:04am John Allen: exkatly!
	11:06am winston legthigh: was planning on getting some work done today but moth cock has other ideas.
	👻 11:06am Handy Haversack: I like to think of it is as Thursdays not being Fridays anymore.
	11:07am doctorjazz: Adds,will have to listen to archives,very cool show! (At least I got a chance to check it out in real time...)
	11:10am abbazabba: And now the name of this artist. I am sensing a theme to today's show
	11:11am winston legthigh: abbazabba! 😂
	11:12am John Allen: i am seeing the name moth cock a lot more than there are stars

	11:13am doctorjazz: Great Minus tune (cover by his drummer)!
	11:14am winston legthigh: nice beaver. thanks, just had it stuffed.
	11:14am doctorjazz: *Mingus (damn phone)
	11:14am John Allen: abbazabba, i can assure you moth cock blocked the rest of this set
	11:14am coelacanth∅: i like the Beaver too. i can really sink my teeth into it
	11:15am John Allen: you all are showing why jazz isn't being promoted in schools as much anymore
	11:17am winston legthigh: as much as i enjoy calculating roof pitches and drawing them on graph paper, this is way more fun.
	👻 11:20am nathan: yeah well, i don't pay taxes for my kids to be learning about moth cock in school
	11:21am HyperDose: Sorry, John. All for separation of church and state, but I draw the line at jazz in the classroom. What about the children?!
	11:22am doctorjazz: They talk about jazz in school? They ever talked about it? I didn't hear about it until college...
	11:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hell, you can't even teach empathy in public schools anymore. Jazz?? That's WAY out!
	11:23am sphere: We had jazz ensembles in school but that was a-whiles back....
	👻 11:23am karlward: Separation of jazz happened to me just this morning
	11:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bass sounds like the slowed-down version of the South Park theme.
	👻 11:24am karlward: Me and jazz got back together just now but it was touch and go for a minute
	11:24am abbazabba: hahaha thanks!
	11:25am sphere: @ karlward: Why the separation? What did jazz do to you?
	11:25am winston legthigh: the letter z is banned in florida school books. jazz is doubly banned.
	11:26am HyperDose: Make sure jazz knows your worth, karlward
	11:27am McGroovey: "Jazz" used to be spelled "Jass". Reverting to that spelling could be a partial workaround.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Free your JAZZ, your class will follow.
	👻 11:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Come to the PTA meeting and claim that jazz evolved from bebop and then watch the ruckus that ensues.
	👻 11:33am karlward: Jazz was all "how about a drum solo where each bar increments the numerator by 1 and denominator by 2, so first bar 1/1, second 2/3, 3/5, 4/7 and so on" and I was just like "I can't, I just can't" and then jazz just played 4/4 glaring at me THE WHOLE TIME
	11:34am coelacanth∅: that's a future classic,Handy
	11:34am sphere: @ karlward: how terrible! what did you do?
	11:36am PaulRobeson1922: @RR1963 @10:29: So long as you cannot go beyond the wind, my friend, you cannot reach the Way

	11:37am HyperDose: @Handy Does K8 plan to infuze (with a "z" because it's cool 😎) a lil jazz/funk/fusion into her curriculum?
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...VinceGuaraldi just makes wahwah muted trumpet noises with his voice offscreen & beats you with a ruler ...I'm done with JazzClass...
	11:42am sphere: @ karlward: good to hear it. as the hippies said: "music is love."
	11:50am StringOFperils: Torrential downpour of goodness.
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: K8 used to be the singer in a jazz band! Mary Wing actually found one of her covers and played it during a 3OAK without realizing it was K8!
	11:52am abbazabba: I am digging this ken mcintyre trio
