	7:09pm neveract: ↳ DJ Peter @7:07 Thanks for the tip! I'll catch it in the archive.
	7:13pm Listener Gregory: I turned my clock back 10 minutes and so am a bit late. Good evening, all.
	🕰 7:14pm WR: ↳ Song: "Batman Theme" by "Harry James" great choice for this tune.
	7:15pm doctorjazz: Hello DJ Peter, clock watchers!
	7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:14 Surprisingly good! and it must have been recorded within months of the show's debut!
	7:15pm neveract: Hey doc..
	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:15 Hello neveract!
	7:16pm Listener Gregory: DJP, where do I know Cute from?? Count Basie? Miles Davis? Kenny G?
	7:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Odd Couple" by "David Hazletine" Felix and Oscar waltzing together!

	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:16 OMG Kenny G... If he ever... OMG... for Basie it was a feature for Frank Wess's flute and Sonny Payne's brushes
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:15 Hi Doc! How's your team doing?
	7:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:16 The movie version lyrics are so weird... "wherever they go people say they're a couple"
	7:20pm Listener Gregory: Thanks! That’s the kind of question that could keep me up all night. I guess we’ll have to wait for the definitive Kenny G version.
	🕰 7:21pm WR: Hopefully paywall free link to NYT obit for Hefti: www.nytimes.com...
	7:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:21 Thanks for that!
	7:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:20 That tune got around... lots of tapdancers used it throughout the 60s, during the age of TV variety shows
	7:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:18 Ehhh, been better...
	7:30pm Listener Gregory: I didn’t realize this was a Hefti tribute. That narrows things down quite a bit.
	🕰 7:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Li'l Darlin' [as Slow But Sure]" by "Jimmy McGriff" regarding Li'l www.discogs.com...
	7:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:30 If only Neal Hefti wrote for Kenny G... such a different world we'd be living in
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:31 Love those mid-century album covers! "this gal is cute. is she on the record? what a strange question!"
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: As to the apostrophe in Li’l, it does mark a lot of missing letters (as apostrophes like to do). But there’s no mention of the missing letters at the end. Would you prefer Li’l’?
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 part of me would. trying to not listen to that part
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wild Root" by "Woody Herman and the Second Herd" This is an addendum to Stork's Zoot show
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 No kidding! What a sax section!
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" by "Woody ... I think I misspoke earlier... did I saw "Let it Snow" was part of the "second herd"? I think that was Herman's First Herd... so many herds....
	🕰 7:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Repetition" by "Charlie Parker" Wow, I forgot all about this song, even though I heard Phil Schaap play it a thousand times. (No jokes, please.)
	7:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sloppy Joe's" by "Neal Hefti" I have these on a 20 LP version of The Complete Keynote Sessions.
	7:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:50 I happened to be in the car last night, checked out WKCR (Saturday night Schapp did a show, Traditions in Swing). Sure enough, they're still rebroadcasting these shows, creepy!
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:57 Oy.
	7:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:55 Ooh I don't have that set... nor have i seen it "in the wild"
	7:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:57 He's still talking... can't stop him... yeah that's weird
	🕰 7:59pm Listener Gregory: Well, the rain has knocked out my internet to a degree that the dropouts are longer than the music, so I'm afraid I'll have to leave and hope to hear the entire show on the archives once my junction boxes have dried out. Excellent show so far, Peter!
	8:00pm Doug Schulkind: If the only thing Neal Hefti ever did was score the theme to The Odd Couple, his career would have been a success.
	8:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:59 Aw too bad... catch you when the sun shines!
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:00 do you figure he made more money from that or from Batman?
	8:04pm chresti: Hi DJ Peter and clockerspaniels!
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter and clockenspiels
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:04 haha!
	8:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:58 Here it is, in the "Wild" (if Discogs is "in the Wild") www.discogs.com...
	8:06pm DJ Peter: Hey Chresti, coelacanthø. Chresti, having a hard time seseing you through the smoke... but I can't see COEL at all!
	8:06pm coelacanth∅: but it's good smoke!
	8:06pm DJ Peter: Very posh! Japanese editin?
	8:07pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:05 I thought you might like that haha
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:07 if i was still drawing i'd create a clockerspaniel ... maybe Franco will?
	8:11pm chresti: Sorry about the smoke I’m out on the balcony now@DJ Peter
	8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:08 The image of the dog with the pocketwatch body from THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH just popped into my head... loved that book as a kid.
	8:15pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:08 Sounds up his alley..
	8:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 the batman theme's been covered by bands -the jam, the who, the ventures, the 5678s, probably the dickies. . . i'll guess he bought a house with that one!
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:19 I'm gonna repeat a story because it's hilarious: the Second Hand Songs website (that tracks covers) lists two types of covers of "Batman Theme": Instrumental and English-language. I realized that the Harry James is an instrumental simply because... no one chants "Batman"
	8:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Count Basie (Lil' Darlin')" by "Henri Salvador" Lil' Darlin' is just a FABULOUS tune!
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:13 i'm not familiar with that; i was probably thinking of something slightly more gruesome! like a clock face on a dog
	8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:21 So good!
	8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:22 en.wikipedia.org...
	8:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 damn -'wish i'd caught that. have to check it out later on
	8:24pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta run, will have to check out the last half hour in the Archives, thanks for the great tribute, DJ Peter! Great week all!
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Lil' Darlin'" by "Joe Williams, Dave Lambert, Jon... this is my favorite lyric. including the trumpet solo... love it
	8:26pm coelacanth∅: Wow, i want to read that! i never read through the looking glass until about 6 years ago, and i Loved it! (i have holes in my childhood apparently)
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:24 see you doc... you too, be safe and be good!
	8:27pm coelacanth∅: goodnight, doctor
	8:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:26 that book was my first exposure to Jules Feiffer (not surprising, grammar school kids aren't his target audience). I probably read that book 4-5 times. Or... half the number of times I read Watership Down
	8:28pm DJ Peter: (illustrator)
	8:40pm chresti: Twiddly dee twiddly dum
	8:43pm neveract: I was just wishing for this Clifford Brown! Thanks!
	8:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ neveract @8:43 Delaware's favorite son!
	8:45pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" by "Clifford Brown" I need a smoke..
	8:45pm Dean: CB w/ strings is one of the pinnacles of jazz/pop. Heh. Was just playing Mosaic's Peggy Lee/July Christie box.
	8:46pm Dean: July? Julie.
	8:47pm DJ Peter: June!
	8:48pm Dean: Well, yes, you're exactly correct, DJ Peter. But you know, a month's a month.
	8:49pm chresti: Thanks DJ Peter!
	8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:48 April, May, June... one of them gals

	8:53pm DJ Peter: Solo Mon isn't able to make it for Primal Ice Cream tonight! I may run over just a few minutes, stick around!
	8:57pm chresti: Every time it rains, it rains!
	8:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:57 Philosophy!
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:51 i know someone named Spring - to cover all the bases.
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: 'gonna play ALL the versions now?! ...guess i'll make another cuppa tea
	9:03pm neveract: Thanks DJ Peter!!
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	9:06pm chresti: ↳ Song: "M Squad Theme" by "Joe Chambers Moving Picture Or... Thanks for the time stretching!
	🕰 4:31pm Listener Gregory: Hey, Peter, I was able to get a moist internet started and caught the rest of the show. Very nice! It's funny about Sinatra not wanting Hefti on the album cover, because arrangers were often listed on his classic albums. I wonder if it was growing ego or maybe he just didn't care for Hefti that much.
	🕰 4:44pm Listener Gregory: Excellent show; thanks!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from October 29, 2023

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	🕰 4:31pm Listener Gregory: Hey, Peter, I was able to get a moist internet started and caught the rest of the show. Very nice! It's funny about Sinatra not wanting Hefti on the album cover, because arrangers were often listed on his classic albums. I wonder if it was growing ego or maybe he just didn't care for Hefti that much.
	🕰 4:44pm Listener Gregory: Excellent show; thanks!
