	👻 9:02am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	9:02am abbazabba: Good morning Ol' Dirty!
	👻 9:02am karlward: I saw the sign outside that said “free mattresses, dirt free.” Is that still happening?
	9:03am terminalhipness: Good morning JA, all. Personally, hoping you'll play this long winded free jazz stuff... or whatever you want
	9:03am Robm: Hey fellow listeners @Krys O what you said about marcus welby very interesting
	9:03am Edgar from Maine: How will JA follow up seagulls?
	👻 9:03am Handy Haversack: Jason, your card arrived. A real mood lifter! We were touched. Thanks, pal.
	👻 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: 7 out of 5 doctors agree - dirty laundry is good for your morning constitution
	👻 9:03am Handy Haversack: karlward, they're free, but there might be strange dreams ...
	👻 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, JA and dirt people.

	9:06am Brainiac from Neuron 3: eight minute filler until the dj gets there.
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: Happy Birthday John Coltrane! (Should be a holiday.)
	9:07am steveo: morning, YETI. I tried out the gifs... yeah, as you suspected, the limitations on the frame rates were pretty noticeable, sigh
	9:08am John Allen: morning everone
	9:08am miniteeny: Nice song
	9:09am lazy pierogi: perfect
	👻 9:11am YETI BOB: Hey steveo, cool. I kind of forgot about it already! Also i like that picture you took of the 200th st subway station.
	9:12am gorp: Open question: Anybody else with an intensely boring job or life have any tips on making time pass faster?
	9:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Agreed. But the mouth-breathers would say that it was just another woke holiday.
	9:12am gorp: Other than fmu and chat room bullshitting of course. My phone dies sadly too quickly to spend all day on the board
	9:13am gorp: Also hi Handy, John, and the Jah crew!
	9:13am steveo: thanks, Yeti
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: gorp: i tried to write a novel once at a boring job. didn't get too far but it passed the time. ultimately got a better job.
	9:15am Krys O.: @Robm: Young struggled with mental health issues for many years, even into his 90s.
	👻 9:15am Handy Haversack: Hey, gorp! I have a whole cheat sheet about how to roll up D&D[ish] characters at work. That can pass some time.
	9:16am judy from croton: Autumn Leaves, a childhood fave, thanks to my dad and Edith Piaf
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: Handy: I put a little something in the mail to you yesterday. Should arrive Monday according to the USPS
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: Yay! Thanks, YB!
	9:17am Tommy in Neversink: Hi John , I'm hardly ever up to hear your show but I had to take my car to Zanetti's garage early...I'm enjoying it
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: Wait, is the the group Weekend with Alison Statton from Young Marble Giants? With Keith Tippett? This is like worlds colliding. Never knew this existed.
	9:18am gorp: @handy - ha that sounds perfect! Gonna have to bring some dice tomorrow @yeti - I’ve been writing and that’s been nice when I can get it! Will def post my short stories sometime on here when I’ve got them somewhere visible lol. Sadly this job is the perfect combo of tedious but having to pay attention kinda so hard to concentrate much. Been getting really into watching the leaves blow in the wind. It’s beautiful!
	9:18am Night Owl: Happy birthday today to 'The Boss', Bruce Springsteen!
	9:19am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: @Yeti Bob and WoodsOfNH: agreed, Trane's birthday should be a national holiday. For those interested, WKCR is doing their all-Coltrane birthday broadcast today.
	👻 9:20am Handy Haversack: gorp: bookmark random.org pages with the right integer-generator combos! For example: www.random.org... Damn, I get to roll for exceptional strength on that one!
	👻 9:21am Mike H: It's good to have ya back on Friday mornings JA
	9:22am John Allen: hey Tommy. Keith patch up the front of his place?
	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nothing Really Mattress
	👻 9:25am karlward: I have to say I am enjoying the flow of this Friday.
	9:27am vixo: Dom's Tune!!! Hitting just right this AM
	9:28am Passaic River Blues: Killer stuff right here.
	9:31am gorp: @handy - ooo perfect. I got enough time I could honestly roll the I Ching or find the Tetragrammaton on this gig
	9:34am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi John a perfect day to play 23rd of September by The Vulgar Boatmen
	9:39am Zinn The Mood: Hey peeps. Really enjoyable set while going about the morning here. Have just sat down with a tall glass of dark, black coffee with chicory and a smoothie. Haven’t made falafel in a while so prepared for that intensive production to take a while. So many ingredients into the food processor. Am at the essay part of the Malcolm X Reader, the first of which is the great James Baldwin’s. Though I’ve read it in the past I still relish going over his words once again. One of this country’s best ever. The meditative tunes provide a delightful cushion on which to read.
	9:42am We need new Car 🛻 🚙 🚲🏎: Klink KliNk kLinks
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Cold is coming, yes. That's why there's two cords of firewood out on the driveway.
	👻 9:47am Jason from Houston: On the way to a cool 96F in the petro metro. LOL
	👻 9:47am Handy Haversack: Time for a relaxing soak in the Sauce Pit, Jason?
	9:49am Passaic River Blues: JA coming in on the end of the Timothy track felt a little like those old Gerald Moore albums where he'd be playing, like, Schubert on the piano and narrating things, "This is how it sounds when the regiment marches!" Also, Duval is fantastic--hard to believe that record is already eight years old.
	👻 9:50am Jason from Houston: Working inside yields a steady 70F and 50% rh.
	9:51am Passaic River Blues: Oops, just checked. Only six years old.
	9:53am Andres: Good morning, JA and all. Would love to attend that show and festival but they are across a border and then some. The rest of you better go.
	👻 9:56am Handy Haversack: Woodsist is a little too much for us. Doable maybe except for needing to find a place to stay. It's too bad. The brewery where it happens is real nice. K8's band has played there. Frustrating that the Myriam Gendron show is the same night as Spiritualized! Woods, looks windy up your way, per the Osprey Cam!
	9:59am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Yeah, we're supposed to be getting gusts up to 50 tonight and tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what the surf does, since the winds are out of the northwest.
	10:01am Zinn The Mood: Heh, that’s a hilariously cool anecdote, PRB, about Gerald Moore, of whom I’m unfamiliar. Reminded me of how Bernard Purdie at drum clinics similarly will share his thoughts process for the grooves and feels he’s thinking of playing, their derivations and context, all the while singing, shouting and groaning in ecstasy. Incredible stuff.
	10:03am Tommy in Neversink: John.....Zannetti's is up and running . Still work to be done but they are operating
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: people like Purdie are so inspiring. I saw a clinic years ago with Terry Bozzio and he was playing in different times on all four limbs while describing what he was doing over a microphone. It's was nuts.
	👻 10:10am YETI BOB: this is red-hot
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On the Beatle podcasts & amongst those sorts - it's a running gag to refer to Purdies's claims for being on various Beatle tracks. Given these testimonies of his technical accomplishments - even more absurd he should feel a need.
	10:24am Passaic River Blues: Umoja!
	10:25am Zinn The Mood: Know what you mean, Woods. Contemplating world class drummers can lead to some really mind-blowing awe. It’s hard to wrap one’s head around the enormous brainpower required (to say nothing of the physical aspect) to get to that level of independence with the limbs that they do. Saw Bozzio at a clinic too, in the mid/late 80’s, and also Simon Phillips around the same time. And it literally defies what we think of as possible to see them do what you described. It’s both a sobering and wondrous thing to behold, being a rock drummer myself since about 14yrs old. You know you’ll never get anywhere near that, approaching any remote universe they’re in. The time and commitment are one thing, and the other is genuine genius and proclivity. You behold these masters in awe, laugh with giddy wonder at the things they’re pulling off, and hopefully, just resolve to being as content as you can allow yourself to be in your own very limited ability to go on. Do you play?
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As a gittar diddler who has barely played with anybody - have such a love for drummers. No drummer jokes from me ...also help you carry all that stuff to & from the car...
	10:34am happymaan: Living in ATL, my WFMU shirts have been getting recognized a bit more lately.
	10:38am HyperDose: Watch yourself wearing FMU shirts 'round these parts, happymaan. Might get yourself into a high five and hugging situation.
	👻 10:40am YETI BOB: i dig this jazz is dead stuff but still have a little trouble with the name. long live jazz.
	10:41am Meesalikeu: did u know bernard pretty purdie drummed on the early beatles songs? thats the rumor. see the e street band max weinberg’s awesome drummer interviews book the beat beat for more.
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: Nice, happymaan. Are you in town? I'll be sporting some WFMU shirts in the ATL next spring.
	👻 10:43am Handy Haversack: K8's singing along with this one! Shocking developments abound!
	10:43am Meesalikeu: the big beat that is
	10:44am Zinn The Mood: Jfc. That intro was exactly what we’re taking about. Incredible power and dexterity, flourishes of syncopated interplay between hands and feet. Beautifully setting up the band’s entrance with a funky as hell welcome. Which is why I always qualify “rock” drummer when meeting people, which implicitly admits a limited ability and that stuff like this is waaaaay over my head. Can only pick tiny crumbs out of it, and then maybe go over and over and over one tiny cool thing and if I’m lucky store it in my limited toolbox. Great stuff!
	10:44am Irwin: "Theme"? It's "Cherokee," a big band standard.
	10:44am John Allen: goes into theme
	👻 10:45am Handy Haversack: Certainly, that's what K8 was singing.
	10:45am Irwin: Chord changes are still "Cherokee."
	👻 10:45am Handy Haversack: She used to sing it with her jazz band, back in the mists of time.
	10:46am Meesalikeu: thx john for an excellent set & also for your dj voice matching up with the music so well. is there a more perfect wfmu dj to music sonic match? well sarge ok, but thats cheating 😂
	10:46am John Allen: we don't speak ray noble. it's a weird record. wait for it. theme!
	10:46am Irwin: "Cherokee" with drum solo.
	10:46am Irwin: Not Ray Noble. Charlie Barnett.
	👻 10:48am Jason from Houston: [sits down with popcorn]
	👻 10:48am Jason from Houston: [stands up to clap after drum solo, spills popcorn]
	👻 10:48am Handy Haversack: K8's got your back, Irwin.
	10:49am love2laf: Loving the music as always, but wow, this set is on fire. Great way to kick the Friday morning.
	10:50am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: hahaha
	10:50am John Allen: they crediting noble. but they are also called the jazz deciples
	👻 10:51am Handy Haversack: [brings Jason more popcorn. And a Manhattan]
	10:51am Irwin: Noble composed, but Barnett popularized it.
	👻 10:52am Jason from Houston: Thanks, boss. Got shook up. Need a stirred drink to undo.
	10:53am John Allen: and then vern and his deciples de-popularized it
	10:54am johnbeym: this music does need a stirred drink and I love it
	10:54am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: I'm really more of a guitar player, but I did teach myself some basic drumming and had a kit for a time. I used to go the clinics because they were super cheap entertainment. The Bozzio one was around the time he was playing with Jeff Beck. The Guitar Shop album. Probably the most mind-blowing drummer I ever saw live was Roy Haynes doing a show with Pat Metheny. The dude did a solo on nothing more than the hi-hat. It was insanely musical.
	10:56am Andres: William Parker used to come up yearly to the local jazz festival (also Hamid Drake, Gerry Hemingway, and Rob Mazurek) but then the board of directors changed and the dollar exchange got worse (still sucks). So, it's been awhile.
	👻 10:59am Handy Haversack: Who's on vocals?
	11:01am Zinn The Mood: Heh, Woods. It’s the reverse of your trajectory for me; been meat-fingeredly trying to play some chords on guitar for the past few years. Which is giving me a much deeper appreciation for all the guitar players I’ve played with over the years.
	11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): williamparker.bandcamp.com... Leena Conquest? Never heard of her.
	👻 11:02am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Woods!
	11:04am Passaic River Blues: Moncur 3, RIP.
	11:06am Zinn The Mood: Hey Handy! Gonna be trekking on bicycle through Gnpt on my way to Acme Fish to make a pick up before noon. If you’re in the hood can drop by to say an introductory hello. No worries if it doesn’t work out this time. Am usually prone to making late morning bike trips through the area every now and then.
	👻 11:07am YETI BOB: jeff guitar is also on that (excellent) makaya mccraven record
	👻 11:08am Handy Haversack: Hey, Zinn! What's your ETA? The only tricky thing is that K8's parents are in town and are due over here at 12. So probably not the best day for it unless you're passing through in the next half hour or so. All hail Moth Cock!
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: do i need to buy a cassette player just so i can listen to moth cock? maybe i do.
	11:09am bradford: it's moth cock time, rejoice!
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: Moth Cock has really soothed the savage breast around here. All five pets just calmed down and stopped clawing things (me).
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you smell pineapple ?...
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh good gawd...I just looked on Bandcamp and there's "A Very Moth Cock Christmas." I must have it.
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE MOTH COCK NOW, BUT GIVE IT A COUPLE OF YEARS www.columbusmonthly.com...
	11:11am Andres: Like shuttlecock?
	11:13am John Allen: yeah we did some mothcock @ xmas 2 years ago. it was like an x rated fruitcake for the holidays
	👻 11:13am YETI BOB: i want to see these guys live
	👻 11:14am Handy Haversack: I hear they're touring with X-Rated Fruitcake, YB.
	11:16am Andres: What are the symptoms that this Oklahoma Medicine is treating?
	11:17am Zinn The Mood: Handy. Just about to get downstairs to fetch the bike from basement. Would be cutting it close probably. Try for another time then. Adios, amigos.
	11:17am Passaic River Blues: @Andres: homeostasis.
	👻 11:17am Handy Haversack: Next time, Zinn!
	11:20am Andres: PRB: That can also be treated with another cup of coffee.
	11:21am eva: good afternoon. 1st heard William Parker on the Eric in the evening show. Eric played all the jazz greats. I was just a kid staying up late to listen and learn. RIP Eric.
	11:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @eva: I saw Eric Jackson give a talk one time. Super nice guy and had some great stories to tell.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Michel Chion is also a theorist and writer on sound in film.
	11:29am eva: @woods those stories! loving the show! back to work.
	11:31am iiibeat: This set is melting my brain. The aliens should be along any minute now to start slurping it up . . Thanks DJ Sir.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: pursuit\ here is a nifty track.
	11:37am Passaic River Blues: @RRN63: yes! It was like those early-to-mid-1990s instrumental hip hop/beathead things by La Funk Mob and Attica Blues, but even more ambitious, weird, etc.
	11:38am HyperDose: Great stuff, John!
	11:46am Carmichael: Heya JA and enyhusiasts. I'm a guitarist who likes to dabble in other instruments. Jack of all trades, master of none. I saw Beck on tour back in the Guitar Shop era, with Bozzio and Tony Hyams backing him. Always a stunning show.
	👻 11:50am Handy Haversack: gorp, if you're still here: the osprey has landed: www.earthcam.com...
	11:51am love2laf: Thank you JA, lovely start to my Friday.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I shudder to think what band should have me on drums. Something Gargagey but with a shifting spiderweb of a center. I have a ball back there tho ! :D. ...A one speaker Marshall practice amp is dangerous enuff tho for apartment living...
	11:52am love2laf: Oh what a beauty pose in the wind, thank you Handy!
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Garagey (jays what was that)
	👻 11:52am Jason from Houston: Whoa, Handy...
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *JAYZUS
	👻 11:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks, JA! From Moth Cock to peacock and all the tales in between! Great show. love2laf, Jason: gorp was asking for ways to waste time at work! Ospreys get the job done.
	👻 11:54am Jason from Houston: LOL

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from September 23, 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.)

	9:08am John Allen: morning everone
	9:08am miniteeny: Nice song
	9:09am lazy pierogi: perfect
	👻 9:11am YETI BOB: Hey steveo, cool. I kind of forgot about it already! Also i like that picture you took of the 200th st subway station.
	9:12am gorp: Open question: Anybody else with an intensely boring job or life have any tips on making time pass faster?
	9:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Agreed. But the mouth-breathers would say that it was just another woke holiday.
	9:12am gorp: Other than fmu and chat room bullshitting of course. My phone dies sadly too quickly to spend all day on the board
	9:13am gorp: Also hi Handy, John, and the Jah crew!
	9:13am steveo: thanks, Yeti

	👻 9:15am Handy Haversack: Hey, gorp! I have a whole cheat sheet about how to roll up D&D[ish] characters at work. That can pass some time.
	9:16am judy from croton: Autumn Leaves, a childhood fave, thanks to my dad and Edith Piaf

	9:17am Tommy in Neversink: Hi John , I'm hardly ever up to hear your show but I had to take my car to Zanetti's garage early...I'm enjoying it
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: Wait, is the the group Weekend with Alison Statton from Young Marble Giants? With Keith Tippett? This is like worlds colliding. Never knew this existed.
	9:18am gorp: @handy - ha that sounds perfect! Gonna have to bring some dice tomorrow @yeti - I’ve been writing and that’s been nice when I can get it! Will def post my short stories sometime on here when I’ve got them somewhere visible lol. Sadly this job is the perfect combo of tedious but having to pay attention kinda so hard to concentrate much. Been getting really into watching the leaves blow in the wind. It’s beautiful!
	9:18am Night Owl: Happy birthday today to 'The Boss', Bruce Springsteen!
	9:19am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: @Yeti Bob and WoodsOfNH: agreed, Trane's birthday should be a national holiday. For those interested, WKCR is doing their all-Coltrane birthday broadcast today.
	👻 9:20am Handy Haversack: gorp: bookmark random.org pages with the right integer-generator combos! For example: www.random.org... Damn, I get to roll for exceptional strength on that one!

	9:27am vixo: Dom's Tune!!! Hitting just right this AM
	9:28am Passaic River Blues: Killer stuff right here.
	9:31am gorp: @handy - ooo perfect. I got enough time I could honestly roll the I Ching or find the Tetragrammaton on this gig
	9:34am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi John a perfect day to play 23rd of September by The Vulgar Boatmen
	9:39am Zinn The Mood: Hey peeps. Really enjoyable set while going about the morning here. Have just sat down with a tall glass of dark, black coffee with chicory and a smoothie. Haven’t made falafel in a while so prepared for that intensive production to take a while. So many ingredients into the food processor. Am at the essay part of the Malcolm X Reader, the first of which is the great James Baldwin’s. Though I’ve read it in the past I still relish going over his words once again. One of this country’s best ever. The meditative tunes provide a delightful cushion on which to read.
	9:42am We need new Car 🛻 🚙 🚲🏎: Klink KliNk kLinks
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Cold is coming, yes. That's why there's two cords of firewood out on the driveway.
	👻 9:47am Jason from Houston: On the way to a cool 96F in the petro metro. LOL
	👻 9:47am Handy Haversack: Time for a relaxing soak in the Sauce Pit, Jason?
	9:49am Passaic River Blues: JA coming in on the end of the Timothy track felt a little like those old Gerald Moore albums where he'd be playing, like, Schubert on the piano and narrating things, "This is how it sounds when the regiment marches!" Also, Duval is fantastic--hard to believe that record is already eight years old.
	👻 9:50am Jason from Houston: Working inside yields a steady 70F and 50% rh.
	9:51am Passaic River Blues: Oops, just checked. Only six years old.
	9:53am Andres: Good morning, JA and all. Would love to attend that show and festival but they are across a border and then some. The rest of you better go.
	👻 9:56am Handy Haversack: Woodsist is a little too much for us. Doable maybe except for needing to find a place to stay. It's too bad. The brewery where it happens is real nice. K8's band has played there. Frustrating that the Myriam Gendron show is the same night as Spiritualized! Woods, looks windy up your way, per the Osprey Cam!
	9:59am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Yeah, we're supposed to be getting gusts up to 50 tonight and tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what the surf does, since the winds are out of the northwest.
	10:01am Zinn The Mood: Heh, that’s a hilariously cool anecdote, PRB, about Gerald Moore, of whom I’m unfamiliar. Reminded me of how Bernard Purdie at drum clinics similarly will share his thoughts process for the grooves and feels he’s thinking of playing, their derivations and context, all the while singing, shouting and groaning in ecstasy. Incredible stuff.
	10:03am Tommy in Neversink: John.....Zannetti's is up and running . Still work to be done but they are operating
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: people like Purdie are so inspiring. I saw a clinic years ago with Terry Bozzio and he was playing in different times on all four limbs while describing what he was doing over a microphone. It's was nuts.
	👻 10:10am YETI BOB: this is red-hot
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: On the Beatle podcasts & amongst those sorts - it's a running gag to refer to Purdies's claims for being on various Beatle tracks. Given these testimonies of his technical accomplishments - even more absurd he should feel a need.
	10:24am Passaic River Blues: Umoja!
	10:25am Zinn The Mood: Know what you mean, Woods. Contemplating world class drummers can lead to some really mind-blowing awe. It’s hard to wrap one’s head around the enormous brainpower required (to say nothing of the physical aspect) to get to that level of independence with the limbs that they do. Saw Bozzio at a clinic too, in the mid/late 80’s, and also Simon Phillips around the same time. And it literally defies what we think of as possible to see them do what you described. It’s both a sobering and wondrous thing to behold, being a rock drummer myself since about 14yrs old. You know you’ll never get anywhere near that, approaching any remote universe they’re in. The time and commitment are one thing, and the other is genuine genius and proclivity. You behold these masters in awe, laugh with giddy wonder at the things they’re pulling off, and hopefully, just resolve to being as content as you can allow yourself to be in your own very limited ability to go on. Do you play?
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As a gittar diddler who has barely played with anybody - have such a love for drummers. No drummer jokes from me ...also help you carry all that stuff to & from the car...
	10:34am happymaan: Living in ATL, my WFMU shirts have been getting recognized a bit more lately.
	10:38am HyperDose: Watch yourself wearing FMU shirts 'round these parts, happymaan. Might get yourself into a high five and hugging situation.
	👻 10:40am YETI BOB: i dig this jazz is dead stuff but still have a little trouble with the name. long live jazz.
	10:41am Meesalikeu: did u know bernard pretty purdie drummed on the early beatles songs? thats the rumor. see the e street band max weinberg’s awesome drummer interviews book the beat beat for more.
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: Nice, happymaan. Are you in town? I'll be sporting some WFMU shirts in the ATL next spring.
	👻 10:43am Handy Haversack: K8's singing along with this one! Shocking developments abound!
	10:43am Meesalikeu: the big beat that is
	10:44am Zinn The Mood: Jfc. That intro was exactly what we’re taking about. Incredible power and dexterity, flourishes of syncopated interplay between hands and feet. Beautifully setting up the band’s entrance with a funky as hell welcome. Which is why I always qualify “rock” drummer when meeting people, which implicitly admits a limited ability and that stuff like this is waaaaay over my head. Can only pick tiny crumbs out of it, and then maybe go over and over and over one tiny cool thing and if I’m lucky store it in my limited toolbox. Great stuff!
	10:44am Irwin: "Theme"? It's "Cherokee," a big band standard.
	10:44am John Allen: goes into theme
	👻 10:45am Handy Haversack: Certainly, that's what K8 was singing.
	10:45am Irwin: Chord changes are still "Cherokee."
	👻 10:45am Handy Haversack: She used to sing it with her jazz band, back in the mists of time.
	10:46am Meesalikeu: thx john for an excellent set & also for your dj voice matching up with the music so well. is there a more perfect wfmu dj to music sonic match? well sarge ok, but thats cheating 😂
	10:46am John Allen: we don't speak ray noble. it's a weird record. wait for it. theme!
	10:46am Irwin: "Cherokee" with drum solo.
	10:46am Irwin: Not Ray Noble. Charlie Barnett.
	👻 10:48am Jason from Houston: [sits down with popcorn]
	👻 10:48am Jason from Houston: [stands up to clap after drum solo, spills popcorn]
	👻 10:48am Handy Haversack: K8's got your back, Irwin.
	10:49am love2laf: Loving the music as always, but wow, this set is on fire. Great way to kick the Friday morning.
	10:50am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: hahaha
	10:50am John Allen: they crediting noble. but they are also called the jazz deciples
	👻 10:51am Handy Haversack: [brings Jason more popcorn. And a Manhattan]
	10:51am Irwin: Noble composed, but Barnett popularized it.
	👻 10:52am Jason from Houston: Thanks, boss. Got shook up. Need a stirred drink to undo.
	10:53am John Allen: and then vern and his deciples de-popularized it
	10:54am johnbeym: this music does need a stirred drink and I love it
	10:54am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: I'm really more of a guitar player, but I did teach myself some basic drumming and had a kit for a time. I used to go the clinics because they were super cheap entertainment. The Bozzio one was around the time he was playing with Jeff Beck. The Guitar Shop album. Probably the most mind-blowing drummer I ever saw live was Roy Haynes doing a show with Pat Metheny. The dude did a solo on nothing more than the hi-hat. It was insanely musical.
	10:56am Andres: William Parker used to come up yearly to the local jazz festival (also Hamid Drake, Gerry Hemingway, and Rob Mazurek) but then the board of directors changed and the dollar exchange got worse (still sucks). So, it's been awhile.
	👻 10:59am Handy Haversack: Who's on vocals?
	11:01am Zinn The Mood: Heh, Woods. It’s the reverse of your trajectory for me; been meat-fingeredly trying to play some chords on guitar for the past few years. Which is giving me a much deeper appreciation for all the guitar players I’ve played with over the years.
	11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): williamparker.bandcamp.com... Leena Conquest? Never heard of her.
	👻 11:02am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Woods!
	11:04am Passaic River Blues: Moncur 3, RIP.
	11:06am Zinn The Mood: Hey Handy! Gonna be trekking on bicycle through Gnpt on my way to Acme Fish to make a pick up before noon. If you’re in the hood can drop by to say an introductory hello. No worries if it doesn’t work out this time. Am usually prone to making late morning bike trips through the area every now and then.
	👻 11:07am YETI BOB: jeff guitar is also on that (excellent) makaya mccraven record
	👻 11:08am Handy Haversack: Hey, Zinn! What's your ETA? The only tricky thing is that K8's parents are in town and are due over here at 12. So probably not the best day for it unless you're passing through in the next half hour or so. All hail Moth Cock!
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: do i need to buy a cassette player just so i can listen to moth cock? maybe i do.
	11:09am bradford: it's moth cock time, rejoice!
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: Moth Cock has really soothed the savage breast around here. All five pets just calmed down and stopped clawing things (me).
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you smell pineapple ?...
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh good gawd...I just looked on Bandcamp and there's "A Very Moth Cock Christmas." I must have it.
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE MOTH COCK NOW, BUT GIVE IT A COUPLE OF YEARS www.columbusmonthly.com...
	11:11am Andres: Like shuttlecock?
	11:13am John Allen: yeah we did some mothcock @ xmas 2 years ago. it was like an x rated fruitcake for the holidays
	👻 11:13am YETI BOB: i want to see these guys live
	👻 11:14am Handy Haversack: I hear they're touring with X-Rated Fruitcake, YB.
	11:16am Andres: What are the symptoms that this Oklahoma Medicine is treating?
	11:17am Zinn The Mood: Handy. Just about to get downstairs to fetch the bike from basement. Would be cutting it close probably. Try for another time then. Adios, amigos.
	11:17am Passaic River Blues: @Andres: homeostasis.
	👻 11:17am Handy Haversack: Next time, Zinn!
	11:20am Andres: PRB: That can also be treated with another cup of coffee.
	11:21am eva: good afternoon. 1st heard William Parker on the Eric in the evening show. Eric played all the jazz greats. I was just a kid staying up late to listen and learn. RIP Eric.
	11:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @eva: I saw Eric Jackson give a talk one time. Super nice guy and had some great stories to tell.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Michel Chion is also a theorist and writer on sound in film.
	11:29am eva: @woods those stories! loving the show! back to work.
	11:31am iiibeat: This set is melting my brain. The aliens should be along any minute now to start slurping it up . . Thanks DJ Sir.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: pursuit\ here is a nifty track.
	11:37am Passaic River Blues: @RRN63: yes! It was like those early-to-mid-1990s instrumental hip hop/beathead things by La Funk Mob and Attica Blues, but even more ambitious, weird, etc.
	11:38am HyperDose: Great stuff, John!
	11:46am Carmichael: Heya JA and enyhusiasts. I'm a guitarist who likes to dabble in other instruments. Jack of all trades, master of none. I saw Beck on tour back in the Guitar Shop era, with Bozzio and Tony Hyams backing him. Always a stunning show.
	👻 11:50am Handy Haversack: gorp, if you're still here: the osprey has landed: www.earthcam.com...
	11:51am love2laf: Thank you JA, lovely start to my Friday.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I shudder to think what band should have me on drums. Something Gargagey but with a shifting spiderweb of a center. I have a ball back there tho ! :D. ...A one speaker Marshall practice amp is dangerous enuff tho for apartment living...
	11:52am love2laf: Oh what a beauty pose in the wind, thank you Handy!
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Garagey (jays what was that)
	👻 11:52am Jason from Houston: Whoa, Handy...
