Listener comments!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:42pm Doug Schulkind:

Dear listeners, for a variety of reasons I had to pre-record this program. I will be live with you in the comments for the first third of the show, then I will have to shut my computer down here in Pittsburgh. But the program will run, with yours truly at the helm for the full hour.

habby b-day, lady day!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Happy Lady Day Day, Maricôt!
  6:05pm Dave d aka Dave x:

yeah, short family trip...
Avatar 6:06pm glenn:

i'm still on the fence about billie. i love her timing and phrasing, but i don't like her voice very much. anyway, she had a lot of balls.
  6:06pm Maricôt:

happy to listen to her, she's my favorite <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

You say Dave D, I say davex, let's call the whole thing ON!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
The "nice"-ness of a singing voice is, to my ears, way overrated.
  6:08pm Dave tomato:

yeah, I may just change it to this
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

My favorite, too, Maricôt. There is Billie and then there is everyone else.
Avatar 6:09pm Carmichael:

Never thought I'd say this, but it's raining here in NorCal. Actual rain, in actual drops. Hail, too!
Avatar 6:09pm glenn:

it's pretty subjective, no doubt.
  6:09pm holland oats:

drumma! peoples! little moonlights!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

This recording is not FCC playable. I am so pleased to have this opportunity to air the entire thing with bleeping a thing.

@Carmichael
That is extremely good news. Keep it going.

Howdy, holland oats!

Reminder:
I recorded this program earlier today and am running it on tape. In about 10 minutes, I will have to shut down my computer and will exit the comments. Please keep socializing with your listener/neighbors. I will be able to fire up the computer again later this evening and will read all your words.
  6:12pm Dave:

for me, Billie has always given me a feeling of being in a poorly lit, hidden away bar, with all the good and bad that might come with it. works for my mood tonight
  6:15pm Dave:

This is quite a recording!
  6:15pm holland oats:

I need a drink all of a sudden.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

This rehearsal took place at the L.A. home of bass player Artie Shapiro. Along with pianist Jimmy Rowles, they had a Verve recording session scheduled for the next day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:19pm Doug Schulkind:

The show will keep a-rolling, but I have to depart the comments. I love you all madly. Please keep chatterizing and I will check back to read all your brilliant commentary as soon as I can.
  6:22pm Dave:

Okay, thanks Doug!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:23pm Gary:

Have a good night, Doug -- and thanks for this!
  6:26pm Dave:

Hey Gary! How's it going?
Avatar 6:27pm glenn:

okay, everybody. he's gone. now we can talk about him.
Avatar 6:27pm glenn:

just kidding, future doug.
  6:30pm jeff g.:

Doug's gone! Let's look in the medicine cabinet!
Avatar 6:31pm glenn:

naw, he took the oxys with him.
  6:33pm doca:

Hi, Doug! Beautiful Billie Holiday 100th birthday celebration. Let me ask you: isn't that recording of "Everything happens to me" released on that Verve box?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Gary:

Hi Dave! I'm actually on another computer, writing. But listening to show via this one ... which is why I probably don't seem totally present here!
  6:34pm Dave:

Jeff, a medically themed recording magically emerges...
  6:35pm Dave:

Gary, that's okay, I'm using the app to comment for a change, which is more challenging than I remembered.
  6:35pm jeff g.:

Hey @doca. Just an fyi -- Doug posted the following above, @6:12:

  6:37pm Dean:

Billie really thinks nobody talks about her when she's gone? Really?
  6:38pm Dave:

true, we're still talking about her...
  6:38pm doca:

Jeff G: Oh really? I just got home and I haven't read it. It gives a kind of an urgency to be hearing to a self-destroying radio show. Is everything OK with Doug?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Artie Haywire:

I don't know about y'all, but I've got it bad - which is not good.
  6:44pm jeff g.:

Sad to say that Billie would find what's now going down in SC all too familiar...
  6:46pm jeff g.:

@doca: I don't know what's pulled Doug away from the mic. Presume it's not good news, though. Here's hoping it's nothing truly tragic.
  6:48pm doca:

@jeff g: there are some songs that make me wonder if they are prescient or if it is just that we haven't got much further since them
Avatar 6:54pm ndbob:

Doug had mentioned the other day that he might not be here on Tuesday
Avatar 6:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
  6:58pm Dave:

Thanks future Doug! this was quite a departure from the albums I grew up listening to...
Avatar 6:58pm colinfromvictoriabccanada:

Tin Ears Chris needs to sit down with a doob and listen to ALL of Red Barchetta. Headphones or hearing aids possibly needed too.
  6:58pm Kwilde:

great show Doug!

DAMMIT I MISSED THE WHOLE THING
  1:08am Dean:

Yeah, I missed the whole thing, too, if by "whole thing," Flash Strap, you mean Billie Holiday's career. I was there for a matter of months in utero, that's all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:20pm Parq:

Here on the archive, D. Can already tell this is one I'm going to have to listen to again, probably on headphones.
