WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 05/19/17

Listener comments!

8:39am ausmanx:

hey doug, it's been a while! nice to see the GIFs are still up to standard, but what's that guitar ever done to the yeti?

8:41am Doug Schulkind:

You have to admit, ausmanx, that is a very nice retro-modern stool. Welcome back, Sir!

🥁

8:42am Brian in UK:

Hey ausmanx, how's it hanging?

It is an old trick with the guitar to scare off the buffalo. Can you see any of them?

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Actually, there is buffalo kicking over a drum kit just out of the frame.

8:50am glenn:

there was a buffalo drummer
in the heart of america.

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

That buffalo was in Springfield, glenn.

🥁

8:53am doctorjazz:

Hey all! Drumma countdown!

8:53am glenn:

hell, there's probably about 15 springfields in the heart of america.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, happy birthday doctor J!

🥁

8:57am listener james from westwood:

This is what happens when you don't let the Wookiee win.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Wookiee of the Year!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, listener James!

🥁

9:00am doctorjazz:

Thanks, Doug, had a really nice birthday!
(went to see Waitress-they destroy an acoustic guitar in 1 scene, really hurt to watch. Sara Barielles is really great, though. Great singer, I like the way she writes, not even bad as an actor...)

9:01am annie:

good morning everyone.. another morning of clear skies.. breakfast thawing

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Warm greetings, annie!

9:04am Mr C:

Make America great again: the Drummer plays more Walt Dickerson!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Walt Dickerson means good vibes! Good early morning, Mr C!

9:08am ausmanx:

kinda looks more like suffolk than the prairie

9:08am ausmanx:

you got buffalo there, brian?

9:11am Uncle Michael:

I'm letting the chips fall where they may.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Good, I've made the guacamole, Uncle M!

9:16am Uncle Michael:

wookamole?

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

We'll be visiting Birmingham in the next set. Is everyone up to date on their inoculations?

9:20am Uncle Michael:

Best damned town in Alabam.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

À la Obama!

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

@ausmanx cannot tell the difference twixt a buffalo and a bison. Always have trouble washing my hands.

Kind of hilly for Suffolk.

9:25am ausmanx:

having just listened to S-Town, surely Woodtsock is the best town in alabam

9:27am ausmanx:

you english folk... call them hills? this is a hill www.newzealand.com...

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

Looks a bit undulating.

🥁

9:33am listener james from westwood:

I will be proofreading Dr. King's letter in the philosophy book currently on deck in about a week or so, given my current pace, so excellent timing!

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Dr King speaking at St. Luke's Baptist Church, 5 May 1963.

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

It's interesting that these speeches have names. We don't seem to have speeches worth naming or re-reading in contemporary media.

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

They have some of the big fish in here.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
There are no coincidences!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Keep moving: RESIST!

9:36am annie:

our city's population have been rising up and resisting the take-over by the whitebread tourist-loving chamber of commerce. you can feel the tension and urgency.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Fred Guy ~ Banjo
Otto Hardwick ~ Clarinet, Soprano, Alto, and Baritone Saxophone
Louis Metcalf ~ Trumpet

9:40am Jeff Golick:

I like to imagine Jack Lemmon in that wookie suit: www.nbc.com...

🥁

9:40am Brian in UK:

@doc belated Happy birthday.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Right, doctorjazz?! So so great.

Speaking of great... JEFF GOLICK!

🥁

9:41am doctorjazz:

Thanks Brian in UK (get your CD out soon...)

9:41am Jeff Golick:

The only way that lineup could be improved is if the bass player was named Tuba.

Hey-o!

9:42am annie:

excuse me while i turn this up way loud!

9:42am Jeff Golick:

Happy (belated) bday, @doctorjazz!

And hiya, @Doug, and all assembled.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
No assembly required! (Batteries not included.)

🥁

9:45am doctorjazz:

Thanks Jeff, better belated then benevered (ouch!)

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Walter Barnes and his Royal Creolians were a Chicago band that played around Chicago and toured the Southern states until April 23rd, 1940 when Barnes and eight members of his band and one hundred and ninety-three other people were killed in a fire at the Rhythm Night Club in Natchez, Mississippi.In the 1920s Barnes and his Royal Creolians played long residencies at Al Capone's Cotton Club in Cicero, Illinois.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

We all like to dance by a vibraharp!

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, that is Howard Cosell. Hello, JESSIE!

🥁

9:57am listener james from westwood:

John Lee heard in full!

9:58am jessie:

10:07am sinner:

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Bobby Rodriguez on bass here.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

La Historia del Cesta All Stars: www.herencialatina.com...

10:19am Little Danny:

10:19am ndbob:

morning Danny!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Barry Rodgers on trombone. Little Danny on Vibra-slap®!

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I believe the word deejays use to describe tracks like this is

smoldering

10:22am ausmanx:

this is one of those grooves that should keep going for at least 30 minutes...

🥁

10:22am doctorjazz:

Thanks @David D.

10:22am Jeff Golick:

This is a colossal groove.

10:23am Jeff Golick:

That historia del Cesta has this great caption: "Charlie Palmieri, el gigante de las blancas y las negras" (Palmieri shown at the keyboard.)

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Colossal and gigante!

10:30am Maggie B.:

Merengue! Wepa!

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

Hmmm surface noise.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

No extra charge, Brian in UK!

Mother Maggie mentions merengue!

10:31am annie:

love the heartbeat this morning..

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

@Maggie B with just a soupçon of calypso.

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

@Doug back to the buffalo?

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

Bye, son!

10:34am Maggie B.:

Hello Doug, Brian, Annie and Drummers! I'm not at work today and not near a computer so just stopping in to say hi

10:37am Webhamster Henry:

The GTDS Shuffle mode is pretty good!

10:38am Jeff Golick:

Hey-ooooo!

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Ooops, I forgot to say hey to you, Webhamster Henry. Saw you pop up earlier. HEY!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Looks like Jeff G played this track, too, on a recent D:O Radio: wfmu.org...

10:42am ausmanx:

okay doke, heading towards 1 a.m. here so it's time i left work, good evening doug and all and see you next week... got chris corsano doing two nights at my house next weekend so i'm gonna try to get them recorded proper and will send the results over if it's as transcendental as i suspect...

🥁

10:43am doctorjazz:

That 4 Horns and What? album is a beaut, haven't heard it in quite a while...

10:43am Jeff Golick:

Very cool, @ausmanx! Hope it's a great couple of gigs.

🥁

10:43am Brian in UK:

Mind the roads ausmanx.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Great to have you, ausmanx! Extend my warmest Drummersome tidings to Mr. Corsano!

10:45am ndbob:

Heya Annie!

10:46am Jeff Golick:

I'm a sucker for both "Blues for.." and struts of all kinds.

BTW, I don't typically do special shows, but might I plug Sunday's D:O Radio? Tomorrow is Chuck Nessa's birthday, and his Nessa Records label turned 50 this year. So Sunday's show will be a full-on Nessa-fest.

Thanks/sorry for advert.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Golick, I insist that you plug your shows in this space. INSIST!

#NessaFest!

10:49am annie:

hey nd!!! you doin' alright?

🥁

10:50am doctorjazz:

Corsano show sounds great! Originally a New Jersey boy...

10:56am ndbob:

Yep Annie and you?

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Fancy going to a Gymnopedie.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Exercise for the mind, Brian.

11:01am Jeff Golick:

I wonder if this Bergin/Bicudo album title is giving @listener james the copy-editor heebie-jeebies...

11:01am Listener Gregory:

"Jazzing up Satie" sounds like a horrible idea from the 70s, but this is very good.

11:02am Listener Gregory:

My gymnopedie membership expired, but I might renew it now.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

I decided to present the title as it appears on the record jacket. Maybe I should've included a trigger warner.

@Listener Gregory
"Jazzing Up Satie" sounds like someone's private hell.

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

Love the peanut sauce.

11:05am Dean:

Teodoro Anzellotti did a swell jazz-ish Satie record.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Hallo, Deano!

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

Dean you are a swellegant elegant cat.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Yusef Lateef performs a lovely Gymnopedie on his Psychicemotus album.

11:07am Dean:

Us swell cats gotta stay cool together!

11:09am ndbob:

ah Ellery Eskelin - Rodd Keith's son

11:11am Jeff Golick:

Thanks for that tidbit, @ndbob. Let me down a rabbit hole to this: wfmu.org...

11:12am ndbob:

@Jeff I remember reading that article - Rodd was quite a guy

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Buried in that long article by Ellery Eskelin is this:

"I'd become a huge fan of WFMU not long before that trip and had even gotten to know some of the staff. They had been playing some of my records on the air and I'd even played live on Doug Schulkind's show."

11:15am Jeff Golick:

Perfect.

11:15am ndbob:

wow Doug!

11:15am Stanley:

Late but still in time for the African set.
Jambo Doug and friends

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Stanbo!

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

Hey Chief Commander Stanley & His Goose Bumps.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

I don't remember the year Ellery played live on my show, but it had to have been about 25 years ago.

Gulp.

11:24am weinstein:

Ruth must be jealous of your Africa collection and she's got a whopper.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Weinstein! The Mayor of Ridgewood!

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

I wouldn't be offended if anyone wanted to migrate over to the live stream of the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue in New Orleans.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

FAIR WARNING!
The final sequence on today's Drummer Some is going to be quite good.

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Next room. Top of the hour. Please.

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am jessie:

Great grading music -- thx! Heading out now.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Bye, Honey! I just gave you extra credit!

11:33am jessie:

About time.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

This record, "Best Woman," is, um, for you!

11:36am melinda:

hi frenz

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Yay, it's melinda!

🥁

11:39am Brian in UK:

Great show, Doug. The thing about spring cleaning it makes you soooo thirsty. Got to fight the hoarders.

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Just found a tape of our daughters of a Korean girl band from the Eighties. Looking forward to hearing that. Might be Sheila B territory.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

I think you did a particularly fine job listening, Brian in UK.

11:44am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

It's all talk of turtles and tomatoes on today's Hinky Dinky Time! Uncle Michael will take you on a guided tour of the garden of his mind.

PLAYLIST HERE: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:45am Brian in UK:

Is the Kenny Carter a split single?

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Yup, Brian.

11:48am Mr C:

Ain't No Big Thing by the Radiants came out in 1965. This must be the original, though it sounds modern for 1963..

🥁

11:48am doctorjazz:

Thanks for the great music, Doug, good weekend all!

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Ain't no big thing, doctorjazz!

11:50am Mr C:

Ai't No Big thing is also a Chevis publishing song: Chess Records. I can't see that as 1963.

11:52am ndbob:

Hi Melinda!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

I could easily have the date wrong, Mr C. I am a trusting soul of others' record record keeping.

11:53am Mr C:

Little Joe was a cover band.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Actually, I couldn't find a recording date for Ain't No Big Thing. I did find 1963 as the date for "In Crowd," but maybe the 45 that came out with both was a latter issue that put those two tracks together.

#keepingmehonest

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am melinda:

hi bob!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, ndbob! Always great to hang out with you!

11:57am ndbob:

same here Doug

11:58am Mr C:

Keeping you honest.

11:58am Alex In Illinois:

I've been listening since the top of the second hour, but have been too busy to post any comments.

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

Always a joy, Doug—thanks!

11:59am Jeff Golick:

Re Tomi singles: www.45cat.com...
Cat no. T-104 is down as '65. Ain't No Big Thing was T-114, so...??

THANKS, DOUG!

12:00pm Webhamster Henry:

GTDR - the netcasting firehose!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

That's some fine sleuthing, Jeff G. More than I was capable of at 1am this morning!

🥁

12:10pm Artie Haywire:

Thanks, Doug!

12:10pm Doug Schulkind:

No, thank YOU, Artie Haywire!

8:09am Spaniel:

Really interesting, dynamic and enjoyable show, thanks Doug!

8:13am Spaniel:
