WFMU: Irene Trudel: Playlist from August 11, 2015

Listener comments!
	♥ 9:02pm Listener Robert: What's a doctette? A group playing on a dock?
	9:02pm Van in DC: Who was that? Sounded like that guy from Ice Road Truckers, the really angry guy? Anyways, welcome back Irene! Thanks for having Julie in!!!!
	9:06pm Van in DC: Enjoyed all the pics, thanks
	♥ 9:17pm Irene Trudel: HI Robert and Van! Good to be back, and thanks so much to Julie for filling in. Glad you liked the photos. There are lots more of my Newport Jazz Festival photos on Flickr. Just click on the picture of Scott Robinson's Doctette. Robert, I'm not exactly sure what a Doctette, but Scott Robinson certainly has one! I've tried to decipher it from his website, and am not quite sure but I think it involves space travel (maybe spaceship docking??)
	9:20pm P-90: An ensemble of eight PhD's?
	♥ 9:21pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Irene. I got to the pix of about the 4th ensemble before I got exhausted. Remember when film was expensive so people just had a FEW vacation photos? I'm just trying to figure out what a certain colorful instrument was & how it's played, which I asked in the Flickr comments.
	♥ 9:21pm Irene Trudel: Hmmn, P-90, that's an interesting thought.
	9:22pm Tommy: I was sure the first piece you played was Brubeck ....oh well
	♥ 9:23pm Irene Trudel: I know what you mean, Robert. I took so many snaps that i couldn't decide what to leave in or our. I may weed a few before too long.
	9:25pm JakeGould: Hello Irene!
	9:29pm Van in DC: I've cut my coffee intake lately...
	♥ 9:29pm Listener Robert: You're also one of those people who makes me fear they're a horrible grouch IRL, because how could you always be so soothing on-mike & so happy looking on camera w/o making up for it the rest of the time?
	9:32pm don d: Bob Dorough opened for Nellie McKay at LPR last month-the most spry 91 year old you are likely to witness. Love his vocal contribution to Miles Davis's Sorcerer album, released in 1967, recorded in 1962. Very unusual.
	♥ 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What on earth is that tuba-sized sax thang - ?! - So great to get home from Irene Trad pub Tue.s to this prgram...
	9:34pm JakeGould: @Irene: The “Doctette” might come from Scott Robinson’s love of the fictional character Doc Savage. www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - hah! - *Irish Trad @ pub...
	♥ 9:38pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, I just figured it to be a basssssssoooooon.
	9:43pm Van in DC: Irene, I don't remember if Torres is on your radar (Mackenzie Scott) but she had an NPR Tiny Desk concert today.... I liked it but why is she so angry it seems like? She sings so angry lately.
	♥ 9:44pm common: good to hear you, irene! hello yoos!
	♥ 9:44pm Folsom: Looks like a contra bass sax
	♥ 9:44pm Irene Trudel: Hi Jake, Don D and Revolution Rabbit! Robert, I promise you I'm not much of a grouch, although my husband may be the one person who can tell when i get angry. Jake, i think that Doc Savage reference must be it. RR, that giant sax is I believe a bass sax, but an unusually large one. Scott needs a hand truck just to drag it around! Here's a picture of Scott with the sax on the handtruck: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 9:45pm Irene Trudel: Folsom, that's what it is. Couldn't remember the full name of the instrument.
	♥ 9:47pm Dano59: Really beautiful music tonight Irene. Wichita Lineman rules as a standard. (I met Bob Dorough when he attended the local stop of the Schoolhouse Rock tour in the late 90s. A great interview and a great guy.)
	♥ 9:49pm Folsom: There's some guy that has all those big instruments like the tubax.
	9:49pm Van in DC: Ops, the Torres was yesterday. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
	9:53pm Van in DC: So....here is Torres in that anyways www.npr.org...
	9:53pm P-90: Well, I'll be superamalgamated! It IS a reference to The Man of Bronze. As a life-long Doc fan myself, I'm fascinated to learn (via the NYT piece) that it's a Doc-themed concept album (and tour) of sorts. I will have to investigate this thoroughly now...
	♥ 10:00pm Folsom: I like the album cover for the Doctette: www.sciensonic.net... Now I have to buy one.
	♥ 10:00pm Irene Trudel: I unfortunately don't have Scott's latest album yet. It sold out at the festival and make take a few weeks to get one. He said the set they performed was planned for a future release. really interesting music!
	♥ 10:02pm Folsom: Yeah this says 4-6 weeks for delivery: www.sciensonic.net...
	10:04pm Van in DC: Didn't Theo Bleckman do the KaTe covers?
	10:05pm Van in DC: yeah some of those career backup singers are awesome
	10:09pm Van in DC: Yep, Theo did indeed do the KaTe covers.
	10:10pm Van in DC: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 10:12pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Van, Theo did indeed do a whole album of Kate Bush covers. Gorgeously too.
	10:25pm Van in DC: Thanks for bringing the music back to us by the way. From Newport.
	♥ 10:30pm Listener Robert: P-90, did you ever read anything by the author after whom Doc Savage is widely believed to be named: Richard Savage? Within the past couple yrs. I read his 1st published (said to have been his best) novel, "My Official Wife". Very enjoyable if you like travelog and a Wodehouse-like present'n wherein you as reader are way ahead of the 1st-person account.
	10:32pm Van in DC: Does FMU have a coffee maker? A kitchen? I've always kind of wondered where thirsty / hungry FMU DJ's might get relief from. Down the street maybe? Delivery? Bring it in yourself?
	♥ 10:44pm Listener Robert: They do have a kitchen. But no reservoir-style refillable liquid soap dispensers in either kitchen or bathroom, I'm told by Ken.
	♥ 10:47pm Listener Robert: If you're wondering how I know, I wanted to donate gal. jugs of this stuff -- users.bestweb.net... . Besides, they've got all those Miracle Soap cakes from several fundraisers ago.
	10:50pm Van in DC: I have FMU soap bars actually
	11:00pm Van in DC: Many thanks as always Irene. Glad you are back. Hope you had a wonderful time off. I'll have to loop back for the last hour.
	11:14pm KP: Hey there, Irene
	♥ 11:19pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Van! BTW, as Listener Robert says, WFMU does have a coffee maker, a mini kitchen, and some local delivery joints. mostly we bring our own. Hey KP! Sorry we missed you at Damrosh Park. WAY too crowded. Did you get to see the whole Highway 61 trib.?
	11:29pm KP: Yes we did, Irene. They were letting people in as the nonbelievers were exiting. We got in and found seats just as Bob tribute got underway. It was enjoyable and at times thrilling.
	♥ 11:32pm Irene Trudel: Great! I thought it was really well done. The Watkins Family Hour was a great backing band. And I loved that they were able to get Al Kooper in on it.
	🥁 ♥ 7:18am Sean in Bristol UK: Welcome back, Irene, great show. Thank you so much.
	10:22am Van in DC: Okay, back for the rest that I missed. Coming back in with the Bill Frisell because, you know, he's great...
	1:31pm Van in DC: Okay, finished! Thanks again Irene - wonderful last hour!
