🥁

🥁

8:58am listener james from westwood:

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

🥁

8:59am dutchtheo:

Cheers drummers, cheer ups accordionists

9:00am Maggie B.:

Woo, sounding good already! Morning everyone!

9:00am Uncle Michael:

Good morning, drum majors.

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to see ya, dutchtheo and Mother Maggie!

9:01am Maggie B.:

Doug, you are a tonic for the weary soul.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Glug glug, Maggie!

Morning, Unk!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Our first artist takes his nickname from an town in Indiana. Can anyone guess?

9:04am annie:

good morning! one week down on the pet-sit. it's been splendid; rain every day, some dramatic thunder-boomers. polite pets... yep..

9:04am Stanley:

WAKAWAKAJAWAKA

9:05am annie:

gary?

9:06am Doug Schulkind:

That was a helluva guess, annie!

Greetings, Lord Stanley!

9:11am annie:

.... i'm so bad with city names and the states they own.. so.... he's "gary" Arnold?? :-p

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

I hope you folks are hungry, 'cause I'll be serving breakfast at the end of this set. Get ready for 18 pounds of unclean chitlins. Literally.

9:13am Lore:

Wish I could've met Eddie "One String" Jones, seems like he was a very interesting man.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Did you ever meet Lonnie Pitchford, Lore?

🥁

9:17am doctorjazz:

It's Friday! Hey all!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Or Moses Williams? All them diddley-bowists seem like fascinating cats.

HOW-DEE, doctorjazz!

9:20am ausmanx:

tonight you are a soundtrack to some curious sporting event over in russia. good evening, all...

9:23am Lore:

Regrettably not, Doug. Another for my huge "wish I could've met..." list!

Early in my Moses Williams fascination (which you initiated), I mentioned him to Cooper-Moore, who said, "Oh yeah, I met that cat," apparently at a festival in DC. C-M said he told MW that he played an electric diddley-bo, which cracked Moses up. As I'm sure you can imagine, my jaw was on the floor. To have been a fly on the wall...

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Woodwind great Charley Lloyd on flute there with CH!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of fascinating... ausmanx!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Lore
So so great to see that Alan Braufman record get a proper reissue!

9:26am Sem:

I wish to lodge a complaint about the dire dearth of pygmy yodeling of Baltimore. If this is not rectified, I shall listen NEVERMORE, NEVERMORE.

Personality #2: good morning, Doug, the shulkinder, sentient beings of all fascinations, and the set which excludes all of the above.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Sem
I have scribed your complaint and slipped it into the GTDS buttcrack of fate.

9:31am Sem:

...where it is joined by the fickle finger of fate.

🥁

9:32am dutchtheo:

I'd Rather Suck My Thumb than clean 18 pounds of chitlins.

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

The fickle thumb of fate, dutchtheo?

9:37am Lore:

Yes indeed, Doug. That Braufman LP is a long-time favorite. Great to see it get a second life.

9:38am ausmanx:

stick to cake, forget them chitlins

🥁

9:38am dutchtheo:

Blame it on a simple twist of fate

9:41am Webhamster Henry:

Welcome to Summer, Drummers!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

♫ "Come and drink from the fountain of sorrow." ♫

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Happy summer to you, Webhamster Henry!

9:44am Sem:

I suppose Melba is toast at this point.

9:45am annie:

my clicky-star finger just went crazy!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Ol' "Crazy Fingers" Annie, they usta call her!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

I've been informed that Coutinho just scored and that there has been added SIX minutes of stoppage time.

9:49am coelacanth∅:

'morning Doug and Drummerettes

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, it's coelacanth∅!

9:52am Mr C:

If Loving the Drummer is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right)!

9:53am Mr C:

Neymar!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

I love the male quartet singing the back-up on this.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

From the screaming coming from downstairs, I can tell that Neymar just scored.

Way to make an entrance, Mr C!

9:57am ausmanx:

brazil were a tedious, petulant disgrace, as usual...

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

You just drew a yellow, ausmanx.

9:58am Mr C:

So Danco Samba!

10:00am ausmanx:

taking one for the team, doug. anyway, here's a story... if you care about eels, you need to stop using cocaine: secure.unearthed.greenpeace.org...

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
I care to EAT eels. Does that count?

10:03am Stanley:

"Eels were exposed to 20 billionths of a gram of cocaine per litre". Crikey, they are sensitive them little eels.

10:04am sinner:

Doug: you should check out Hill Billy's "Ode to John Futher Mucker."

10:05am listener Rey:

Molly loves her work and so do I, but it's keeping me from commenting. Hello everyone out there in internet-land

10:06am listener Rey:

meanwhile in Seattle...
www.npr.org...

10:07am David D:

Zouba sounds strangely reminiscent of Old Man River.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@sinner
Final track in the third set: wfmu.org...

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@David D
I bet you say that to all the deejays.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Good welcome, hard working Rey!

10:11am David D:

Doug, you saw right through my little ruse!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

But it WORKED, David D!

10:17am sinner:

I bet you that's where I heard it. (Doug. You should really listen to this song Doug played....)

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

@sinner
I haven't played it since March. A travesty!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Autotune is an abomination, except when it is glorious.

10:20am Sem:

Diggin' this despite the autotune.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

I provide the trowel, but you gotta do the digging, Sem.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gentlemen, behold Abu el Leef... Super Leefa!

flachdcd.files.wordpress.com...

10:26am ausmanx:

i was thinking how great it would be to be in the room in the DJ's home town playing that, and then i remembered this fragment of Mdou Moctar on youtube i saw this week, and it's so sublime one can give thanks for youtube sometimes - again, to be there when he was playing www.youtube.com...

10:37am burke:

Snooping/sleuthing! You just outed him as a Supreme Court justice.

10:37am listener Rey:

it was while listening to Ed Blackwell on a WKCR birthday-marathon that I finally "got" free jazz

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

@burke
I prefer to sleupth.

10:39am Listener Gregory:

Doug, I think the excuse for releasing the Blackwell cuts on Mosaic was that they were recorded at the same time for the same record label (Strata-East). But they need no excuse!

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

@listener Rey
More than any other drummer I've ever heard, Ed Blackwell could play each of his four limbs independently. Utterly gobsmacking. And yes, FREE!

🥁

10:41am βrian:

Rain, rain, rain, rain. I'm tired of rain.

This is nice, though.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
So many killer Strata-East sessions! Hello!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Think of the crops, βrian. There, did that help?

🥁

10:43am dutchtheo:

The "Theo put your headphone on section" started, i'm enjoying it!

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

I just "followed" Pope Francis on Twitter.

Put your headphones on, Francis!

10:44am Listener Gregory:

I actually have that box set sitting looking at me right now. It's good! Clifford Jordan somehow escaped a great reputation in spite of being great.

10:45am Marie:

happy summer friday morning! Hi Doug and everyone. Love this track and that GIF. Thanks Doug! Good jazz gives me courage.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Your courage gives me courage, Marie. We. Wee!

🥁

10:46am βrian:

The crops are drowning here. But I do think we're in for a respite soon.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Heavy rains led to not insignificant flooding about 10 miles from us here in SW Pennsyltucky.

🥁

10:49am βrian:

Oy. And I hear Houghton, up in the U.P. really got hammered.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

But Houghton will wake up next morning, with a raging headache, and carry on.

🥁

10:53am listener james from westwood:

This Curson is most outstanding.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, and with that extra sizzle of it being a live performance, Listener James.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

The trumpeter here is Hugh Ragin, producer of one of the most purely beautiful sounds on the instrument I've ever heard.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo or anyone
How do you pronounce Waisvisz?

11:02am Marie:

What a beautiful song!

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

You heard what I heard, Marie.

11:04am Webhamster Henry:

Cracklebox in the house!

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster H
How do you pronounce Waisvisz?!?

11:06am Webhamster Henry:

like Vice-fish .. it's Polish orthography of a German name.

11:06am Webhamster Henry:

I friend of mine has a Craklebox, I was going to make a Cracklebox app at one point.

🥁

11:07am dutchtheo:

did not know him nor the name; i think the english is version is better translate.google.nl...

11:07am Listener Gregory:

"Dream Angus" is surprisingly similar to "Surrey with the Fringe on Top"! i.e., identical

11:08am Webhamster Henry:

He was a fixture at STEIM. (the publicly funded experimental music research space in Amsterdam)

11:08am thedunkel:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer!

🥁

11:09am dutchtheo:

Waisvisz sounds like Wise-vizz

11:11am Webhamster Henry:

@dutchtheo it might very well be so - after all, I generally pronounce my own name wrong here in the USA.

11:13am Webhamster Henry:

David Weinstein probably has a more authoritative pronunciation.

🥁

11:14am doctorjazz:

David Murray is at the Vanguard this weekend FYI

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, thedunkel!!

Thanks, Webhamster H!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Murray was just here in trio performance.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
"Dream Angus" is on the menu at Peter Luger's Steakhouse.

11:17am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

🥁

11:19am dutchtheo:

WH it's difficult to pronounce a dutchified Polish/German/Jewish name, but the the American pronunciation is fine by me.

11:19am rw:

Good morning! Waking up slowly here. Show's sounding great.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

My wife is rooting for Iceland; my daughter for Nigeria. I need a whistle to keep them apart!

Top of the morning to you, ndbob!

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Slow hello, rw!

11:21am ndbob:

I feel kind of funny but I have zero interest in the World Cup

11:21am Webhamster Henry:

Hey how about an Icelandic - Nigerian set?

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

I will be in Iceland (well, just the airport) in 12 days!

11:23am ndbob:

sounds good Henry

11:23am ndbob:

so a European trip Doug

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Flying to Athens by way of Reykjavík (just the airport) and London (for two days). After two days in Athens, we fly to the island of Ikaria and stay there for two weeks.

🥁

11:26am βrian:

@ndbob:
But Christina does:
www.newyorker.com...

11:29am ndbob:

sorry Brian I'm maxed out on New Yorker views so I can't see it

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Kindly join me at the top of the hour, won't you?

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am ndbob:

ah got through Brian:)

11:36am Mr C:

This is alright!

11:36am Sem:

Basking in the sun and the Stream. Thank you, Doug.

11:36am Maggie B.:

Wow, Doug, you're bouncing around the globe?

11:38am rw:

Thanks for the slow hello, Doug. Just the right speed. Who'll be taking care of us while you're bouncing?

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

"I must have been loco to hurt you, Baby."

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

I'd prefer gliding, but bouncing will get 'er done, Maggie!

11:39am Listening Out There:

Just got here. Sounds like quite a trip, Mr. S. Bon voyage!

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Got here for the GOOD stuff, LoT!

11:40am Maggie B.:

I forgot you were going on a well-deserved reboot to Greece. Bringing back some rekkids to add to the collection too, I trust?

11:42am burke:

@Doug Watch out for the falling bodies of would-be birdmen (?)

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie
Probably not bringing anything back but a tan. We are flying a cheapo airline that charges for everything. The three of us are sharing one suitcase!

11:45am Mr C:

Stax '68 coming in the Fall Be on the lookout!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

@burke
Good call! Ikaria is the birthplace of Icarus! It's also the land were Greece exiled its Communists. It's also one of the planet's "blue zones" where everyone enjoys off-the-charts longevity.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of off the charts, Uncle Michael's fabulous Hinky Dinky Time is NEXT, here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream.

Tune in, live long and prosper!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:46am Webhamster Henry:

The Weight is a good candidate for Mary Wing's N of a kind set!
Do you know they renamed rt 375 from Rt 28 to Woodstock after Levon Helm?

11:47am Rich in Washington:

Great show, Doug!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Well isn't THAT Rich!

11:48am Uncle Michael:

A good guy without a gun!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Webham H
I didn't know that. I am pleased to know that.

11:49am rw:

Doug, you should leave your clothing in Greece and fill that suitcase with Greek LPs.

11:51am Maggie B.:

@ Webham H - I didn't know that either and I have no excuse (I live in OC). That's great!

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Beware of geeks bearing grifts.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

@rw
I like the way you think!

11:53am Maggie B.:

Doug, have a fabulous time in Greece.

11:54am ndbob:

wow didn't know that Henry

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

I dig the sitar-like synth setting on this.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
I'll be here for two more shows, then off I go...!

🥁

11:55am βrian:

Which is he home town today, Unca M?

11:56am Uncle Michael:

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
Scratch that! I will be here for ONE more show, then off I go!!

11:56am ndbob:

11:56am Maggie B.:

Oops!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room. Thanks, Doug!

11:57am Mark Hurst:

Good show, thanks, Doug! And see you there, U.M.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:
