9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, Uncle Michael, you truthful slimeball!

🥁

9:07am listener james from westwood:

It's a chilly-feeling 60, overcast and a bit humid, but it's gonna hit 78 out here—just doesn't look it at the moment!

9:08am Uncle Michael:

James, your avatar is naked.

9:08am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

9:09am Goyim in the AM:

Morning! The Memphis Phone Sex bit is a favorite of my aged father, who said on first hearing it "this may be the filthiest thing I have ever laughed at."

🥁

9:10am listener james from westwood:

"CBC strike!"

🥁

9:10am dutchtheo:

UM, in a telephonic parallel terrastrial universe, good morning/day/evening

🥁

9:11am listener james from westwood:

@UM, that would explain the draft!

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
CBC Strike is fookin priceless.

9:12am Uncle Michael:

I pattern everything I do after "CBC Strike."

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Good day, Goyim in the AM. And good day, aged Goyim Papa in the AM!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Woo hoo, Waterloo!

9:13am Stanley:

Good morning/afternoon everyone.
Just tuning in to get a bit of what the Drummer's having

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

This Lászlo Hortobágyi cut sounds like about five discrete cultures mashed together.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Here, I'll break off a piece for ya, Stanley!

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

The musical instrument on this track is a set of bowls filled with water.

9:21am annie:

i really thought i'd miss out on the creature activities here in the apartment, my only view being the wall of the civic center and a patch of sky. i'm pleased to see tons of bird activity here on my "front porch" third-story roof-view. LOTS of birds. mostly crows and pigeons. i might try to attract the crows with shiny things.. glad to have the Drummer for musical accompaniment!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Get READY for the nadhaswaram!

9:23am Maggie B.:

i have a friend who has a collection of crystal bowls - the hypnotic waves of sound that come out of them!

🥁

9:24am dutchtheo:

cup harmonicon looks like this: www.last.fm...

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Hypnotic Waves! Maggie B! Beloved Mama!

9:24am Maggie B.:

morning beloved drummer son!!

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Next up? A rendezvous with Rama. Ramamoorthy!!

9:28am Jesse Kaminsky:

Morning!
Dammit missed the jaltarang

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

I'll give you a private spin after the show, Jesse.

9:30am Jesse Kaminsky:

I played a jaltarang as incidental dinner music at a wedding once and everyone thought a toast was about to happen

9:36am Uncle Michael:

mmmm...toast

9:36am Jesse Kaminsky:

jal = water
tarang = wave

9:37am Uncle Michael:

Honey, those aren't dirty dishes in the sink, that's my jaltarang.

9:40am annie:

i'm glad to see the actual word for that, i had to have a name of some kind.. very cool

🥁

9:41am Artie:

Greetings all. Loved the opening set. Dodging traffic to the entrancing sounds of Lászlo Hortobágyi. Bliss.

🥁

9:43am doctorjazz:

Love this South African Groove! Would be pop music if there was justice in the world.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Happy belated birthday, Artie!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Jesse Kaminsky
Water wave? Wow!

🥁

9:59am βrian:

A balmy 38 degrees on the isthmus today. (But at least it's overcast and spitting rain.)

🥁

10:02am βrian:

Someone should do a "5 series" on Cinco de Mayo.

10:06am thedunkel:

GM Mr. Drummer and all!

10:06am Jeff Golick:

Dude. Dude.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, warm-hearted βrian!

Greetings, the dunkel!

Jeff "Evidence-Based" Golick!

10:09am Goyim in the AM:

If this weren't a Florida station, I'd think this were a teenage Scharpling crank-calling. Instead, I think this guy is for real.

10:10am Maggie B.:

is that caller ferreal?

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

As a budding geriatric social worker, I have mildly mixed feelings about this.

10:11am annie:

i was wondering the same thing goyim..

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
For a moment there I thought you asked, if the caller is feral.

10:12am annie:

i wonder who's on HIS lawn!!

10:12am Parq:

Plus ca change, as the Greeks say.

10:13am annie:

this is turning into abuse..

10:13am Maggie B.:

once i posted it, i realized it looked like "feral". But that fits too,no?

🥁

10:13am βrian:

I think it's on tape.

10:14am thedunkel:

"Sir i'd like to help you out - which way did you come in"

10:15am Goyim in the AM:

Looky here, I'm getting a contact high from this.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

More than a few people have suggested that this Jean Shepherd monologue was the inspiration for Howard Beale's "I'm a mad as hell" scene in the film Network.

10:19am Goyim in the AM:

"yeah, they're your friends. They're your friends all right."

10:20am annie:

wow, doug, this is mind-blowing stuff...

🥁

10:21am duke:

Just another day in Detroit?

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

We report, you decide, annie.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

The Electrifying Mojo and Bootsy (heard from earlier) was also from Detroit.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, a very familiar voice...

10:25am Jeff Golick:

Ready for a song about San Jose next.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Memphis Phone Sex is next. Gather in the children!

10:26am Parq:

Oh, you're not!

🥁

10:27am βrian:

Cleeeeeit!

10:27am annie:

ok, mute button activated..

🥁

10:28am duke:

Dr. John R. Brinkley sewed goat testicles to patients. Also a radio pioneer. Great book about him Border Radio

🥁

10:29am listener james from westwood:

LOL @ the Elvis!

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Frank Balesteri, aka Bean (or the Vanilla Bean) is the DJ who encouraged me to come down to FMU and get involved. Keep R.I.P.-ing, Frank.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

This phone worker deserves a Pulitzer for (mostly) keeping a straight face.

10:30am Parq:

Okay, my kindergarten class needs to get back to their ABCs now

10:30am Goyim in the AM:

@annie: it's truly filthy and perverted and hilarious and brilliantly the humor is not at the expense of the operator (especially once she starts cracking up).

10:30am rw:

Good morning!

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

"C'mon, it's IMPORTANT TO ME!"

🥁

10:31am duke:

The sad thing is that this is probably not the weirdest call this woman has had.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

"Authenticating the Elvis." I believe I have a title for today's playlist page.

10:32am ausmanx:

okay, i put the transcript of most of that into the dutch naked dating show. i wonder if anyone will notice

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

You are doing a service to humanity, ausmanx.

🥁

10:34am dutchtheo:

nah, i won't ausmanx, what channel:?

10:35am northguineahills:

What are you implying Doug??!!! (all of the rumors of FL (outside of Gainesville are sadly true)

10:37am ausmanx:

the sophisticated australian multicultural public broadcaster, theo! we're all class...

10:38am Listener Robert:

Invective hurling was a running gag by Shep, something he did repeatedly over many years.

10:39am northguineahills:

@ausmanx: I just going to believe all of the rumors of Oz and the Isle of Man are true

🥁

10:40am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and folks. Signing in from new abode. Busy constructing beds and opening boxes. Knackered as we say over here.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

A listener emailed to correct my dumb mistake. CKLW is in Windsor, Ontario, not Toronto.

10:41am david w:

Lurking, with love. Hi Doug and all!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Way to make an entrance, rw!

Hello and welcome, northguineahills!

Time for some tea, Knackered in UK?

10:43am Goyim in the AM:

Yeah, Doug, if you listen carefully to the CKLW clip, you can tell that some of the reporters are faking the American News Man accent -- one of the early ones lets an Ontario-sounding "house" slip.

🥁

10:44am dutchtheo:

ausmanx, sorry for this part of dutch culture, it isn't only rembrandt and free jazz overhere

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@david w
Love to love you, baby!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Robert
I have carried a lifelong jealousy of those who got to grow up listening to Jean Shepherd.

🥁

10:47am Brian in UK:

....and scones.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Cannonball Adderley on alto here.

10:47am Jeff Golick:

“I’m saying that what African culture has been about is the celebration of life, of joy and of creativity – the manifestations of which are to make one high. The white plantation owner saying, ‘Goddamn, where did they get all that energy from?’ thought it was just physical energy, but it was more than that, it was spiritual recognition, a recognition that all things in the universe have energy, that you are part of the universe and that everything around you gives you energy. Africans were agricultural, but they paid homage to nature in their dances, in their consecration of a tree before they cut it down." - Cecil Taylor

10:48am Jeff Golick:

(Sorry to hijack, I'm still swimming in Cecil Taylor thoughts and modes.)

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Keep it coming, Jeff.

10:51am annie:

i lived for shep's stories.. i dare say some of his stuff bore into my brain and etched a standard of some kind. thank god!

🥁

10:51am βrian:

Rather slinky, this.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Slinky® is a registered trademark, βrian. I have to make a citizen copyeditor arrest.

10:54am Jeff Golick:

Quote above from this longer piece, for those interested: robertlevin.wordpress.com...

🥁

10:55am βrian:

Note I drew from the lower case, there, so we're good.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

So what you're saying, βrian, is you want me to loosen the handcuffs.

10:57am northguineahills:

@Brian: scones, I could go for some scones w/ my yerba mate.....

10:58am Lore:

Arthur Williams' trumpet solo sounded especially fine this morning, thanks Doug.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

You are a lover of fine things, Mr. Lore.

🥁

11:01am βrian:

My beloved makes the most stunning pear-ginger scones. Fresh ripe pears, naturally, and a blast of fresh ginger. Oh my.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

More about Arthur Williams, for those so inclined: jazzandblues.blogspot.com...

11:04am david w:

Shout out to Mark Hennen on piano on this Muntu track!

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

A gorgeous volcano of a solo from Hennen.

11:06am Jeff Golick:

This is quite a thing.

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

@nah with homemade blackcurrant jam. Priceless.. Buttermilk makes the best scones.
Short and sweet to the woods with dog and daughter for a all.

11:07am Jeff Golick:

NoBusiness Records -- Lithuania's finest! -- reissued the first two Muntu LPs a few years back: www.discogs.com...

11:08am northguineahills:

Damn, that Ensemble Muntu was fine AF!

11:08am david w:

And all Cecil disciples, right Jeff?

11:10am Jeff Golick:

The rhythm section, @david, yah, though I really don't know about Hennen at all. And Moondoc...dunno!

11:11am Ramblin' Ray:

Greetings all! Better late than never...

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

This Docteur Nico track is mostly Gloria, but then everything from 1970 was mostly Gloria.

Ahoy, Ramblin' Ray!

11:12am Jeff Golick:

@david, You are a font of wisdom: "He became interested in jazz largely due to Cecil Taylor and at the University of Wisconsin–Madison he was a student of Taylor's." -- via Moondoc wiki page.

11:12am Josh:

Whoa. I like this track.

🥁

11:13am dutchtheo:

G.L.O.R.I.O.U.S

11:13am david w:

And Hennen studied with Cecil, so... the spirit will go forward.

🥁

11:13am βrian:

Heh, I never knew Cecil Taylor taught here. Kewl.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

I like that you like, Josh!

11:17am Parq:

Ausmax @ 10:32 (US EDT -- sorry, I was commuting) - "Dutch Naked Dating" would be a good name for a band. I think we can all agree on that.

11:18am Josh:

I like most anything that sounds like Gloria.

🥁

11:19am βrian:

Doug, would you consider doing a mic break infused with terms of art and/or jargon from your newly chosen field? I think that could be fun.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

I have one Cambodian and several Mexican covers of Gloria. Probably others that I am forgetting. Every one is a thrill.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Sure, βrian, but I would have to charge you.

11:21am Josh:

I hope to hear those covers some day, Doug. Thank you.

🥁

11:21am βrian:

Not quite yet, if I recall. There's still time to practice on us.

11:22am Parq:

Doug's lexicon brings the listeners all over the yard. He can teach you some, but he'll have to charge.

11:23am Goyim in the AM:

Rob Weisman played the Cambodian one on Clay Pigeon's morning show this very morning, in fact.

11:23am coelacanth∅:

'morning Doug and Drummers

🥁

11:24am βrian:

In my field we work really hard to preserve the illusion that knowledge and information are free — rightly or wrongly.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, coelacanth∅!

@Goyim in the AM
Wow, what a coincidence! (Actually, I don't believe in coincidence.) Still, wow.

🥁

11:25am dutchtheo:

Parq "Dutch Naked Dating" sounds like horrorcore to me

11:25am Josh:

I missed the Gloria cover this morning then. We were listening only late in the 7:00 AM hour.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
That's right. I am here to empower and enable you to make decisions for yourselves. And to funk you up.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

I miss anything?

11:26am Listener Robert:

Doug, I'm jealous of those who listened to Shep at an Earlier age. I turned on to him only late in his career. I saw his TV shows, read his writings, saw his live performances at Carnegie Hall & Princeton U. (hosted by WPRB). However, I probably wouldn't've been ready for him when I was much younger.

After one of his shows at Princeton, I got myself and my date invited to have pizza with him and a few people from WPRB. I think I impressed my date, as I'd just shown him to her on TV a short while before. WPRB guys thought I was deserving because of a long story I wrote -- reminding me very much of Shep's style of story -- of how I missed his show there the year before that I had a ticket to. I have that story typewritten somewhere; it involved going to an anti-Selective Service activist group meeting at NYU and getting my car towed. It was a string of misfortune, like one of Shep's.

That led to the story of how I tried at that post-show pizza gathering to get into Shep's confidence by talking about people I knew who knew him. Shep denied everything!

11:28am Uncle Michael:

OK, yo rooty poots...you know the drill. Top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Nice story, Listener Robert! Just for that you can have pizza with me. Just bring a pizza and we're all set!

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, the Pope of Topeka! The Popeka!

11:30am Parq:

UM should dress as a ghost for Halloween. Then he could say "Popeka-boo!"

🥁

11:32am βrian:

I'm thinking about post-show bibimbop, myself. Heavy on the Gochujang.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

A bibimbop devoid of Gochujang is a crime against humanity. Or so I am told.

11:34am Little Danny:

G'morning Doug, all!

11:35am northguineahills:

@Listener Robert, considering I never saw him, I'm jealous!

11:35am northguineahills:

UM, don't rooty poot us!

🥁

11:36am βrian:

Freezing rain and snow on the way here. Ugh.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

It's already 75°F here, heading to 80.

11:37am Parq:

Wow, this Asiko Rock Group is a wonder!

11:39am rw:

Thanks Mr. Schulkind! If you could talk a little about Elvis...

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

With pleasure, rw!

🥁

11:41am βrian:

His Aim Is True.

11:42am Dominick:

made it! better late than never

11:42am Listener Robert:

Next time I'm in Squirrel Hill, Doug -- which I haven't been to since my relatives moved out decades ago. But I still patronized their fine Tunnel on subsequent trips. Does the park across the street still have that figure 8 bicycle course with its own tunnel?

11:43am northguineahills:

Exact temperature now and expected high here in FL.

11:44am Listener Robert:

But if I do bring pizza, it'll be my homemade. If you supply the 475F oven.

11:45am annie:

taking a minute to thank you for the show today, doug.!! and actually for all you do, not to mention school and such!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

That's news to me, Listener Robert. But then again, I am rarely on a bicycle.

You're always welcome, Dominick! Hugs and kisses for early birds and late arrivals.

🥁

11:45am βrian:

Germany didn't fare so well, in that regard.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

How do you say love in Kansas? You can ask Uncle Michael personally. The three-hour lovefest Hinky Dinky Time is next on the Drummer Stream:

Kissing booth: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:49am βrian:

Well, I suppose I'll stay long enough to hear about my home town. But I'm starving.

11:50am Josh:

This Brothers of Soul track is a favorite.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

*smooch*

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

This Newcomers track is also stupendous.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Harsh cut-off on that Brothers of Soul ending. Ouch!

🥁

11:53am βrian:

The Brothers of Seoul? Yes, I am hungry ...

🥁

11:55am dutchtheo:

Too Much Going to Say Goodbye...Goodbye, Adios, Dank U

11:55am Uncle Michael:

See you all in a little bit. Thanks for the music, Doug!

🥁

11:58am duke:
