Hi, Dave. Update from a few weeks ago: my 1965 Ludwig Pearl drum set with the Zildjian cymbals and all Gretsch accessories is now in storage. At some point a friend with a band in NC will take custody of the kit. I can't bring myself to sell it, despite its apparent high value. I would rather know music is being made of it. If only my son had wanted to be a drummer...

Reeshard:

You lucky creature. I had to make do with the typewriting-xeroxed-onto-green-paper catalogs. I guess my equivalent experience was living near John Storm Roberts' Original Music in upstate NY - also in the '80s - another cave of wonders.

Holy crud, Dave, you weren't kidding about the PATH train service going ker-splat on Sundays. I was on it earlier and it was appallingly late. A complete mess. We need a PATH version of the Straphangers' Campaign -- as far as I can tell, no such thing exists.

Great sounds.

It's true. I was browsing his website a few years back. At least he's alive.

@PSS: Agreed. It's odd that, unlike Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc., the real/best lineup of the Alice Cooper group never reformed. They must really hate each other.

But on a brighter note, here's a thing about the Alice Cooper dual Gibson SG sound:

Dave, you should play "Lay Down and Die, Goodbye" from Easy Action -- that would fit right in with some of the goodies you play.
Avatar 10:35pm

You know, I haven't heard "Easy Action" in ages. I should play it, but I don't want to play two AC tunes in the same show.

Some famous players of Slingerland Drums, other than the mighty Neal Smith: Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Jim McCarty, Antonio "Fito" de la Parra, Bev Bevan, Nigel Olsson, Bun E. Carlos, Tre Cool, Neil Peart. Owned by Gibson, interestingly.

A friend of mine used to work with someone named Slingerland. People were constantly asking her if she was related to the drum Slingerlands. (She wasn't.)

Hmm, that was Stanley Turrentine's brother, Tommy, on trumpet. I should find that Abbey Lincoln album.

I'm very into the music/time-of-day link. I did a big piece/chart on the subject last year that ended up not getting published. I should revive it, because I put a lot of work into it.

I have always found MOST folk music to be best in the morning, for example. The earlier the better.

Does 12 noon make people think of power chords (5ths)?

@Holly T - That's when I listen to The Holy Modal Rounders and The Lovin' Spoonful.

Dave Mandl:

@Holly: I actually put it together in an Excel spreadsheet. I'll dig it out. I've got it somewhere.
Avatar 11:33pm
Droll:

I wouldn't have thought of that on my own, but it's an interesting idea. "Naptime" and "Latenight" better captures the process of looking for something to listen to than marketing genres (rock, electronic, jazz, classical, etc.).
Of course, those aren't times of day, per-se.
  11:34pm

I usually listen to Raymond Scott while getting ready in in the morning. Late morning, 10-11 am. Also R Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders.

Folk-rock like Fairport or Steeleye Span are Saturday afternoon. "Early music" (esp. lute music) is Sunday morning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:37pm

Of course, these things shift according to our personal schedules. Early morning, for me when I was on graveyard shift, was around 12 midnight -- now it really IS early morning.

I used to have a girlfriend who I still associate with Bach organ music on Sunday mornings, but I think that was the radio station's fault...
  11:41pm
HollyT:

Agreed, PSS. Also, I think we tend to associate time of day with the context in which we were first exposed to the music. Punk/post-punk/no-wave/nu-wave etc. will never be nighttime music for me. Always mid-late afternoon music, probably because I used to listen to it when I got home from school in the 80s.

@trish: Yeah, when you do a radio show you have to flexible. I can't say, "I'll never play so-and-so on a Sunday night." But if my show were on Thursday mornings it would probably sound at least a little different.
Avatar 11:47pm

@Droll: Sorry, I thought you were asking about the time signature of that Lars Hollmer song, because it was really odd.

Time signatures of radio.

@Dave and trish - that's what I was calling "free time", because it's different when you're organizing radio sets in a small room.
