Listener comments!

🥁

8:54am duke:

Good Morning. The gif lady has me hypnotized.

8:55am Uncle Michael:

Reminds me that I'm almost out of Jew-fro Sheen.

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Just moving to and FRO with the music.

8:58am Uncle Michael:

I love that you can see the boom mic at the end of the gif. I remember the commercial and I'm not sure the actress ever speaks a line.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

That lady is NOT acting!

9:00am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

Good Friday, Doug and all! Will be in and out here with work looming, but looking forward to the show!!

9:02am Mr C:

Doug...Hope you might spotlight the passing of Jimmy Scott.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

ndbob and LJFW, the Ruth and Gehrig of GTDS participants! Or is it the Gehrig and Ruth?

Oh no, Mr. C! I hadn't heard. Am unprepared. So sorry to learn this.

9:05am Guido from Cologne:

Hello People!

9:06am Uncle Michael:

Hello all.

9:07am Uncle Michael:

Our great national hora has only begun.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Guido!

Still looking for news of Jimmy Scott and not finding. I see that Wikipedia has a date, but no news story is coming up.

Ironically, I almost put on the pile of records for today the other Jimmy Scott, the Detroit soul singer.

9:16am El Thatchmo:

In The Hizzie!

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Wowie zowie, it's El Thatchmo!

9:23am d¢ pät:

holy crap that gif is going to drive me nuts, I'm sure. Any Wolf in the line-up today?

🥁

9:24am duke:

Just reading about Jimmy Scott and Doc Pomus. Doc Pomus had polio. Jimmy Scott has Kallmann's syndrome. Is there any source for musicians who overcame various physical handicaps to go on create great music?

9:25am Uncle Michael:

Wolf at noon, DC Pat. I promise!

9:26am d¢ pät:

way to be, U Mike.

9:31am Jesse K:

morning folks! It's a rainy day in providence

🥁

9:33am bobdc:

@duke: as friends of Lou Reed, they had another interesting thing in common.

🥁

9:35am listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Doug! Today I'm feeling more Mario Mendoza than Gehrig or Ruth, but I'll try to look good on my baseball card.

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning to you and you and duke and d¢ pät and Jesse K and bobdc and you!

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Well let's settle on Joe Pepitone and leave it there.

9:40am d¢ pät:

whoa...I don't know Donnie Fritts but this is amazing.

9:41am d¢ pät:

sorry I mean Alvarius B...who I know about....

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Donnie Fritts was Kris Kristofferson's keyboard player for 45 years or so. A member of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.

9:45am holland oats (rogue):

morning drumma! peoples! dolls of the valley!

🥁

9:45am Brian in UK:

Hey folks. If you are waiting for the happy ones you better quit now.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Hello there holland, beautiful to see you Brian!

🥁

9:49am Brian in UK:

Ref Jimmy Scott, that allmusic site has related artists similar to... Jimmy Scott. How daft is that.

9:52am d¢ pät:

like the guitar strummin today...

🥁

9:53am Brian in UK:

I raise you a Travis Wammick and see your Donnie Fritts.

9:54am rogue oats:

perfect rainy friday music doug

🥁

9:55am Brian in UK:

You can tell the earlier style of kora compared to say Toumani's more fluid runs.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Does AllMusic still do that insipid "Emotions" thing where the list a series of adjectives describing emotions related to the artists' music. Infuriatingly stupid that was.

Warm welcome to: rogue oats!

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

Do not know Doug, it was just a casual look about Jimmy Scott.
Joe Root has just scored 200 runs at Lords for England against Sri Lanka. Cricket, the summer game.

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

There you go, beyond a boundary again, Brian in UK.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

The playback singer on this track, Usha Khanna, is actually the composer. She occasionally dabbled in front of the mic!

10:14am ndbob:

excellent set Doug!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

I rather agree, ndbob.

10:17am Stanley:

Hi Doug
Brian - re Kora styles it was great to see Toumani Diabate a week or so back performing with his twenty something "rock star" son. Also highly accomplished but the master naturally outshone him.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Oi oi, Stanley!

10:20am Stanley:

These ol' laid back Africam riddims remind me of more carefree days. (excuse me a moment)

10:22am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley, here's a tissue. Pull yourself together man.

10:26am thedunkel:

Good soul glow morning Capt'n Drummer and other fellow Drum-a-lites!

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Andrew Waterloo and thedunkel are here! Now we can get Capture the Flag started!

10:32am Stanley:

Thanks Brian.
Cheered myself up now, thinking of ale to come in a couple of hours. You a cricket fan? I'm not but often tempted by the thought of all day drinking.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

McGann's longtime collaborator, John Pochée on drums...

10:36am Jeff Golick:

Have this woman's 'do and that of 70s-era Oscar Gamble ever been seen at the same place at the same time?

Warm greetings, Pittsburgh, and all of the other wonderful 'burgs and burghers out there!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

'ello Jeff Golick! The woman stole MY hair, circa 1975. Actually, that's (literally) not the half of it.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

I am not often a swooner for the flugelhorn. Except when I am. I just was.

10:43am Jeff Golick:

Anyone out there in the NYC area been making the Vision Fest scene?

10:45am Jesse K:

I went every year for 3 or 4 years but not for a long time...

🥁

10:45am Brian in UK:

Stanley, Jay caught me out earlier on Nick Names show saying he did not know that I had chickens. Thought the whole bleedin' world knew.

10:49am Uncle Michael:

You have chickens?

You really ought to have that looked at.

10:53am Uncle Michael:

This is cherce!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Two fifths of Vinny's quintet are the Cline Brothers: Nels on guitar; Alex on drums. Kevin was a no-show.

10:55am Parq:

Good morning, Doug and minions. The gif is cute, but it reminds me too much of the 70s (sorry, edf). I had a very GDS day yesterday, listening to D's Tues night full-album show, then The Fiveash, then Doug's Bodega fill in. You'd think I'd be tired of all this by now, but no-o-o-o.

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

BOK BOK.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

I hope you've been getting your GTDR card punched, Parq. One more and you get a free show!

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
You traveled all the way to Brooklyn just to say that!

10:59am Uncle Michael:

I typed that from Midwood.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
If you had said "fuckn cherce," I would have guessed Deadwood.

11:03am Jeff Golick:

...Midwood! My son's going to Midwood High School starting this fall.

I hear they have good sangwiches.

11:03am Jeff Golick:

Baritone player?

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golia
My cousin, Vinny Golia.

11:05am earrie:

..is excellent.

11:05am Jeff Golick:

What can't Vinny do?

<<<< Her 'do, perhaps. But that's it.

11:06am Mr C:

Follow this up w/St Clair Pinckney

11:06am Stanley:

This is indeed excellent.

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

Relentless, Doug.

🥁

11:11am Brian in UK:

SOUNDCLOUD, Doug.

11:11am Stanley:

Doug - waddya mean? This is it, your second life and you are catching up.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Hear ye, hear ye, it's earrie!

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Well then I could use an extra cushion or two for my cloud. (Or as Brian remarks, Soundcloud.)

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

Got to get outside of a beverage. See you on the morrow, Stanley?

11:15am Parq:

I believe that Heaven -- if there is a Heaven, and much like Dawes Butler in "Christmas Dragnet", I still ain't made up my mind on that one -- is a place where you don't listen to the music, you *are* the music.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

Spiffing show, Doug. Chin chin.

11:16am Stanley:

Oh yes Brian.
Me too, decided to wind things up here and head over to the Torn Trouser for a schooner of Spider Toes Summer Ale.
On the 'morrow

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr. C
I should do an all baritone sax show. It could bring the sky down on all of us, but it would be worth it.

🥁

11:20am listener james from westwood:

Needed the hell out of this show today. Looking forward to the rest of Hour 3!

11:21am Andrew Waterloo:

I wonder if it's possible to do an all contra-bass clarinet show.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some Quiz Contest. (Googlers will be shot on site.)

What is the title of this Asfalto song referencing?

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

If you speak Spanish, then this should be pretty danged easy.

@Andrew Waterloo
Sounds like a nice challenge.

@Listener James from Westwood
Consider this show your "Get out of hell free" card.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

Don Quixote's horse.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, you win a free weekend at the new Bollywood theme park!! (Travel expenses to Mumbai are not covered.)

11:27am Stanley:

Loved the show, Doug. You're a lifeline.
Splitting early to seek succour in a schooner.
Til we meet again......

11:28am Alex In Illinois:

Well according to what I get from Google it's what Uncle Michael said, but I thought it was a dish, like a rice dish or meat dish or a vegetable dish or something like that. I could swear that I have seen it on a menu somewhere.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Cheerio, Stanley. Always chuffed to have you in the crew!

Sadly, Alex in Illinois, horse is too many menus.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

Everybody that's stage-managed a production of Man of la Mancha knows that. Jeez.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of theme parks, everyone please join UNCLE MICHAEL over in the Hinky Dinky Fun House. Beginning in 29 minutes: wfmu.org...

11:32am Uncle Michael:

I'm an E ticket!

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

RIP, Elodie Lauten. Died last week at sixtyfuckingthree.

11:37am northguineahills:

what! That sucks. I swear I saw her live once, but it could have be a dream.

11:40am northguineahills:

Nope, not a dream, just found the cd she gave me. Now I remember, she was a friend of a friend of mine and we had drinks when she did a casual set at the Share party about 8 years or so....

11:40am northguineahills:

...ago....

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

You say Pip, I say Pop, let's call whole thing off.

@NGH
Just the day before she died, her opera using the texts of her friend Allen Ginsberg was staged at St. Marks Church. So damn awful.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Another amazing song title coming up: "I'm Slowly Moulding"

Yow!

11:50am Uncle Michael:

I'm slowly molding.

11:51am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug, off to see Mexico-Cameroon.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Been kinda rainy.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Doug, when does Jesse's show go to three hours?

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Whenever he tells me he's ready!

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Ok!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Excellent listening, ndbob!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

I really enjoyed the show today.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

On the one hand, I really gotta pee. On the other hand, I wish groove would go on for another 20 minutes. I need a Deejay's Buddy®!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Okay, okay. TMI.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

I really enjoyed your show, too. Uncle Michael. In advance.

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks!

11:59am rogue oats:

great show drumma!

🥁

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Thunderous thanks from rainy Westwood, Doug! Now riding the lightning to UM's show!

12:01pm earrie:

Thanks for the good show, Doug. Much of that last set was cringe-y. Pre civil-rights social/culture stuff - oy.

12:01pm thedunkel:

Have a great weekend Mr. Drummer!

🥁

12:03pm Artie:

Thanks Doug!

12:09pm Jeff Golick:

I like Mexico-Cameroon's older stuff, before they got all poppy.
