7:18pm still b/p:

Extra Drummer labor on Labor Day, but of love, one assumes.. L(D)OL.

"There are no bad kids.Or dogs." But, then, as someone said of W.C. Fields, "Any man who hates dogs and babies can't be all bad." These don't necessary conflict or cancel each other out, but a mountaintop monk is gonna have to sort out/trace the tracks of these truths.

7:19pm Doug Schulkind:

Good evening, still w/c!

7:38pm Parq:

Major revamp of the family stereo today. CD changer served me well for 17 years, gave up the ghost. Remains may be viewed by appointment. On the good side, got the turntable working again. Tie ball game.

7:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Parq, you ol' turntablist you!

7:45pm still b/p:

Family requests that iPods do not attend?

7:48pm Doug Schulkind:

Remember that craze a few months back when the kids were all eating there iPods. Crazy kids.

7:50pm still b/p:

There ain't no bad kids, but vast armies of crazy ones -- some burping songs and bubbles.

7:52pm Parq:

iPods? I must not have been listening closely. I thought they said the fad was for eating at the Iditarod.

7:53pm still b/p:

Eating what, of course? ...."Mush!"

7:55pm Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Kids these days. They have no taste!

8:03pm Doug Schulkind:

The percussionist on this track is Big Black. He was born Danny Ray in Savannah, Georgia. He appeared in one episode of Sanford & Son.

8:05pm chresti:

Heylo! Drums!

8:05pm Doug Schulkind:

chresti is besti!

🥁

8:08pm doctorjazz:

Surprise Drummer Weston tribute, hey all!

8:09pm Parq:

Can we agree that "Jumping Flugelhorn" would be a good name for a band? Or at least a good thing to exclaim when you're astonished by something.

8:12pm still b/p:

I don't think Sophia Loren will mind if we adapt the lyric she sang to Cary Grant's kids in Houseboat.
"Chresti, Chresti,
Do your very besti...."

8:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Waiter, I'll have what Parq is smoking.

8:13pm Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Surprise!!

8:16pm still b/p:

You don't want to think about a jumping flugelhorn when you're walking alone in the dark band room late at night.

8:24pm Uncle Michael:

Hey, Dougie!

8:25pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello, my dear Uncle!

8:26pm Doug Schulkind:

Gilbert "G.T." Hogan is the man ravishing the drumset here.

8:26pm Parq:

You laugh, but I was in suburban Seattle last summer and had the to-me surreal experiences of seeing marijuana stores off the arterial roads, right next to the chain health-and-beauty stores and the dry cleaners. Honey, on the way home tonight, could you pick up a half gallon of milk, get your shirts and buy $50 of sens?

8:26pm Doug Schulkind:

Although the LP lists him as Hoogan.

8:28pm Doug Schulkind:

On another LP, he is listed as Wilbert, not Gilbert.

Sigh.

8:28pm Uncle Michael:

I'd like to believe that Dr. Seuss named the flugelhorn.

8:29pm Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
There is a medical marijuana dispensary located about 3 minutes from my house.

8:31pm Doug Schulkind:

This music is being performed live at the Newport Jazz Festival, 1958.

8:35pm Doug Schulkind:

Great touches of Monk in Randy's playing here. He was an earlier admirer/proponent of Monk's approach to the keyboard.

8:35pm still b/p:

As I was youth-sitting over the weekend, here was a wafting up from passerby into the open second floor window , the 11 year old says something like, "Man, we always have to smell pot."

8:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Youth-sitting. Still trying to digest that one.

8:39pm still b/p:

Well, you could call it "babysitting,' but that might dis the yoots -- 11 and 14.

8:40pm Doug Schulkind:

This piece was written by the great Ghanaian musician Guy Warren. It is his meditation on Romeo and Juliet.

8:44pm chresti:

Youth-monitor

8:45pm Parq:

Doug, this isn't medical weed in WA. You buy the stuff the same way you buy beer, and usually they're two or three buildings away from each other.

8:45pm Doug Schulkind:

Quentin Jackson on trombone here. He is the owner of one of the great nicknames in jazz (or all humanity).

Ladies and gentlemen:
Quentin "Butter" Jackson

8:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Goin' full Amsterdam, eh?

8:45pm still b/p:

The yoot-monitoring had me confronting questions of enforcement when it came to the absent Mama's rules/limits: how much are you going to reasonably negotiate or play the iron-handed time-keeper/confiscator or shovel useless shit against the tide of obsessesion when it comes to.....the 14-year-old's phone?

8:48pm Doug Schulkind:

That there's a master's thesis in childhood development, still b/p.

8:49pm chresti:

find out the yoot's phone number and call him/her?

8:50pm Doug Schulkind:

Help prevent youth decay?

8:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Run fast and go have a tinkle, then settle in for the fabulous Sam Segal and his broadcast IF YOU LOSE YOUR HORSE. It's next, here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream.

9:01pm Uncle Michael:

Gracias, big boss man.

9:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Big-ass pleasure to do it, chresti!

9:03pm Doug Schulkind:

De nada, tío mio!

9:03pm still b/p:

Thanks, Goodnight. No phone in bed, now.

9:04pm Doug Schulkind:

You're welks, still b/p!
