Listener comments!
	8:57am Nine in PGH: RIP long time PGH jazz host Tony Mowad. His theme song was Quincy Jones’ - For Lena and Leenie. He was 85

	9:01am Maggie B.: Ah, Doug, take me away!!!!
	9:01am Funky16Corners: Morning!
	🥁 9:02am Brian in UK: Ah the Dentures. great band. Loved 'You'll Wonder Where the Yellow Went.....'
	9:03am Doug Schulkind: I never met Mr. Mowod, but he was a beloved figure in Pittsburgh. R.I.P. good sir. Good whenever/wherever, Brian in UK! Maggie B! Funky16Corners!
	🥁 9:05am listener james from westwood: My members of Congress are getting a dose of GTDR in the background while I'm calling them this loooovely morning.
	9:05am alanr: Bring on the good vibes!
	9:06am TDK60: Morning Doug! \|\| Nine in PGH. Tony Mowad's name rings an old bell. What station was he on? WYEP? Duquesne University's station? (forget the call letters.) Other?
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Nice that the show is on the 8th of January.!
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Citizen Kafka & The Wretched Refuse String band have a good version.
	9:08am Gina Bacon: Morning, Doug & Fridaystreamers!
	9:08am KWilde: Good Morning drummers and possum hunters!
	🥁 9:09am bobdc: Elvis and Bowie's shared birthday is an important day to celebrate.
	9:09am TDK60: Oh, reviving the Fugs' old chant (just like we did in Nov. '20): OUT! DEMONS! OUT!
	9:09am Sigurður: So where does history belong??
	9:10am Stanley: G'day Doug Happy to listen quietly in the corner.
	🥁 9:10am dutchtheo: Happy January 8th, Doug in the Burgh, and drummerfolk, from Til-burg
	9:11am Doug Schulkind: Call them all, listener james from westwood! Greetings, alanr! TDK60! Gina Bacon! Webhamster Henry! (In 2016 I had a one of my old hour-long Tuesday shows on January 8th. I am not repeating today any of the versions I played then of "The Eighth of January.") Here was my show on 8 January 2016: wfmu.org... Welcome welcome, KWilde! bobdc! Sigurður! Stanley! dutchtheo!
	9:12am Webhamster Henry: Nice and crowded today in the Drummer Some room.
	9:14am Webhamster Henry: More Spoons!
	🥁 9:15am Brian in UK: Is there a hint of buck dancing here?
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: In typical American fashion the Battle of New Orleans was a completely unnecessary, in consequential fight that we nevertheless celebrated fervently for nearly half a century. (And it also got Andrew Jackson elected president.)
	9:15am Mr C: What a great piece of music!
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry I once played spoon with a band on stage in front of 5000 people. I was 12 years old.
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Great knows great, Mr C!
	🥁 9:16am doctorjazz: Helllooooooooo!
	9:16am TDK60: Just looked online, Mowod had been on WDUQ in the '80s-'90s. It's now called WDSR. But did Tony ever DJ at WYEP? Another station in PGH? He last DJed at a station WZUM.
	9:17am WR: of ones heard so far the Fox Chasers version has the most pronounced similarity with the Driftwood song
	9:17am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 I don't believe he ever did.
	9:18am mauri: Hiyarrrr
	9:18am Irene: Good morning, Doug and drummers! Great song to get us going on the 8th of January. Here’s to one day closer to the inauguration!
	9:19am Doug Schulkind: Hello, doctorjaaaaaaazz! @WR Driftwood put words to the melody and retitled it "The Battle of New Orleans." Johnny Horton's version was the most famous, but I played in on the show back in 2016, so I'm playing a different version. Coming up!
	9:20am Doug Schulkind: Woop woop! Howdy, Irene! mauri!
	🥁 9:20am Artie: Good morning, all!
	9:20am WR: the battle was fought because of bad wifi in the delta humidity so they didn't get the email of the negotiated truce. imagine the Brits surprise, they thought they were heading to a post war frolic in New Orleans and then were bushwhacked.
	9:22am still b/p: Hot dog! Let's clog!
	9:23am Nine in PGH: Tony may have DJ’ed at WYEP before I was there in1976 I only met him from DUQ. WDUQ license now belongs to Essential Public Media, the WESA-FM operator
	🥁 9:25am duke: Hello Doug and Drummers
	9:25am Sigurður: Devil's play once
	9:26am Doug Schulkind: The demise of WDUQ in Pittsburgh was an ugly affair. I was brand-new to town, so it didn't hit me in the gut the way it did native jazz lovers here. Yah-haw! Climb aboard, Artie! stll b/p! duke!
	9:27am bigplanetnoise: Good morning!!! Coffee!!! Brrrr!!! And, hooray!!!
	9:28am Doug Schulkind: bigplanetnoise is here! Get that man eight cups of coffee!
	9:28am TDK60: Nine in PGH: I used to listen WYEP a lot. Sort of like WFMU. Then it got less so. WDUQ had great jazz. Then there was WRCT up at CMU Univ. Good too.
	9:29am Alex In Illinois: Hi. I heard this song start up. Wasn't this battle in this song won on the 8th of January?
	9:29am Sigurður: 9 FUCKING cups...
	9:29am Alex In Illinois: Sorry to all British listeners.
	9:30am Doug Schulkind: Alex in Illinois is firing the big guns!
	9:30am Doug Schulkind: Big guns of love, of course.
	9:31am Listener Gregory: Was going to ask what date it was, but...
	9:31am Gina Bacon: Morning, bigplanetnoise! Hot coffee would warm you up!
	9:31am Sigurður: SCOTLAND should have independence, dimple message for 200000 years of humanity, simply brought from sea development
	9:31am Gina Bacon: (I know, I know)
	9:32am Alex In Illinois: Remember, neither side won in the war of 1812. Both side agreed to stop all the fighting.
	9:32am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!! You know....
	9:33am listener Rey: Hi Doug, I wondered about the significance of that date
	9:33am still b/p: Dimple message....ahh, so, when someone says "DM me," that's what they mean.
	9:33am Alex In Illinois: After that, the US and UK just could not get enough of each other. When the 19th century finished, the US and UK were collaborating in laying transatlantic cables.
	9:35am Sigurður: Fuck
	9:36am Alex In Illinois: There were multiple attempts to get functional trans-Atlantic cables, because people were not aware that there are mountain ranges on the bottom of the ocean. Cable kept getting broken.
	9:38am Sigurður: My people are famous for screaming in between a crack of continents, fuck the rest, rightgt?
	9:38am Nine in PGH: @ TDK60 WYEP was truly a free form station in the 70s and 80s. Very diverse line up including my fave Dan Barnett aka Daniel the Bee No more. RCT is about as close as it gets now.
	🥁 9:39am listener james from westwood: Fascinating read on the cable-laying saga was "The Victorian Internet," dealing with the rise and decline of telegraphy.
	9:39am Alex In Illinois: The thing about some folk music circles in the US, is that the subject of current politics can be taboo. So it might not be a good idea to write a fiddle tune commemorating the 6th of January.
	9:40am TDK60: Nine: Yes! WYEP was a radio lifeline to us freaks down in Morgantown, West Virginia.
	🥁 9:40am listener james from westwood: Very sad I wasn't able to get down to Atlanta last year for a conference, but it's been rescheduled there for later this decade, and I'll be delighted to finally visit Georgia as a result.
	9:40am Hams: we just try to give the drummer some here in georgia.
	9:40am fred: Greetings Doug and all @Doug: may you play spoons in front of 12 people when you're 5000
	9:41am Alex In Illinois: The most powerful network created in Victorian times is still with us: Plumming and sewers, including flush toilets.
	9:41am Alex In Illinois: I meant Plumbing
	9:42am Doug Schulkind: @Nine in PGH When I first moved here I got approved to do fill-ins at WYEP, but the station's relentless mediocrity turned me away. I then went to WRCT and got approved there, but I was turned off by their ridiculous programming requirements they impose on the DJs. @fred A fascinating but terrifying scenario! Hello, Hams!
	9:42am Doug Schulkind: G'morning, listener Rey!
	9:42am Sigurður: Alew! @ screan... M. For the he hell of it
	9:42am Sigurður: X
	9:42am TDK60: Alex, I think it's pathetic that socio-political themes are out in "folk." Yesterday I was on the NYC subway and a busker got on and surprisingly did Dylan's Times They Are A-changin'. I thought the response would be ho-hum as it's an old tune. But he got a /lot/ of coins from the mostly black riders!
	9:43am Stanley: (wakes up from snooze) Love Sulakshana Pandit. One of the few playback singers who also acted.
	9:44am Doug Schulkind: @Alex in Illinois Are you saying unclogging toilets is a plumb assignment?
	9:44am Asheville Jon: hello everyone. happy 'made it through wednesday' to all
	9:44am fred: @Doug: Looks daunting, I know, but at the rate we're aging, you might get there before the end of Ivanka's third term
	🥁 9:45am Brian in UK: Plum was P G Wodehouse's nickname. just saying, you know, like, kind of.
	9:46am Doug Schulkind: @Stanley Thanks for that tidbit! Welcome, Asheville Jon!
	9:46am Bill D: Good morning from frosted Rock Tavern NY. Maybe some of this Cajun and Indian heat will melt this hard frost.
	9:46am Alex In Illinois: @TDK60: Those themes are not out in ALL "folk" circles, but just some of them. In any city, you can likely find some where they are encouraged.
	9:46am WR: @TDK60, sounds like a nice moment on the subway.
	🥁 9:46am listener james from westwood: Hooooo, they're gonna need a cigarette after that track!
	9:46am TDK60: Yes Doug, WYEP's slide toward more-normal was a bore. Didn't know WRCT has such programming requirements but haven't heard in years.
	9:48am mauri: This takes me back all the way to the indian buffet I had yesterday
	9:48am Stanley: Ah, memories of long uncomfortable bus rides and tinny speakers.
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Good morning.
	🥁 9:49am Brian in UK: Vegetable Biryana for me please.
	9:49am Doug Schulkind: @Bill D As long as you and Maggie have power! @TDK60 At WYEP they always pick the most vanilla track on every LP they spin. Relentlessly tedious. At WRCT, they make every DJ play at least three tracks an hour from a list of CDs determined by management. An absurdity I would have never agreed to.
	9:51am BillD: Ah , you remember how easy the power goes out. Back up generator coming soon.
	9:52am Funky16Corners: I just ordered some interesting curries and Southeast Asian slices for my kitchen. If I can’t go out, I’ll make it here.
	9:52am WR: @Bill D, unlikely WFMU will have any impact on the frost outside but it can warm up your hands by holding your playback device or your whole body if you do dance aerobics to rhe drummer rhythms.
	9:52am Doug Schulkind: "Interesting curries and Southeast Asian slices." I just wanted to say that sentence out loud.
	9:53am Doug Schulkind: Good michael, Uncle Morning!
	9:55am still b/p: re: politics in music -- A recently-seen doc on John Denver talked about his activism, which, while real, was exaggerated I think in impact as described -- claim being made that he was some kind of trailblazer in musician activism and godfather of it, the prime example for the big cause pursuers of 80s. Also in the doc, a quote on cultural impact goes something like this: "What Elvis was to the 50s, and the Beatles were to the 60s, John Denver was to the 70s." Ehhhhhhhhh, no.
	9:56am Pedro in Arlington: Not to be a downer but was just thinking of the terror attack at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh and Wednesday's attack on the Capitol. And that the president of the United States is complicit in the killing of a police officer.
	🥁 9:57am Brian in UK: still b/p was he the one who stockpiled quantities of fuel.
	9:59am still b/p: Don't know. I recall hearing years ago about him being prickly and far out of mainstream thinking near the end of his life, but the doc -- largely favorable or fawning -- didn't get into that.
	9:59am Doug Schulkind: @Pedro in Arlington Trump is complicit in the Tree of Life massacre (which took place five minutes from my house) as well. Prior to the murders, the shooter at Tree of Life had been huffing Trump's lie about a caravan of migrants heading for our Southern border.
	10:03am Funky16Corners: Oooh, Dave Pike! Also, that was supposed to say “spices”
	10:04am TDK60: I discovered Bollywood in an Indian/Asian grocery. They had cassettes for $2. Kishore Kumar was my first such tape.
	10:04am Really Lisa: Hi Doug and drummer streamers all. Taking a seat in the back a bit late.
	10:05am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Really Really Lisa!
	10:05am Webhamster Henry: Does anyone have a good list of over the top Bollywood musicals?
	10:07am Nine in PGH: @ Doug The final nail in the coffin for my listening to WYEP is when they tried to harness The Roots and Rhythm Mix about a decade ago. The creator DJ , Kate Borger had to leave then. 😕
	10:08am Really Lisa: Hey bpn :) really really nice seeing you here! Coffee-licious new year to you!
	10:09am Pedro in Arlington: Indeed Doug. He incited several attacks over the last 4 years - El Paso, Kenosha and of course Tree of Life. Sadly the cowards and profiteers who propped him up only now are willing to let him fall. The death of a police officer will be too much even for them and they'll try to slink off and pretend they were elsewhere the last 5 years. Lindsey Graham has already offered a few stunning performances in the last few days.
	10:11am Doug Schulkind: So glad you're here, Really Lisa!
	10:11am Alex In Illinois: @Listener James from Westwood: thanks for the suggestion for "The Victorian Internet". I might check that book out sometime.
	10:12am TDK60: So great to hear this W.G. Still; never heard this.
	10:12am Really Lisa: This is lovely.
	10:13am Doug Schulkind: @Nine in PGH The folks at WYEP partnered with a horrible group, I think based in Colorado, that was voraciously devouring available public radio licenses around the country, purchased WDUQ and then summarily dissolved the jazz programming.
	10:14am Listener Gregory: Music!
	10:14am Doug Schulkind: It's about time, eh, Listener Gregory?
	🥁 10:15am βrian: Good dopey morning. (Speaking for myself, anyway.)
	🥁 10:15am bobdc: A while ago I found some WG Still strings reminding me of an early Randy Newman record, and it turns out that the latter was arranged by fellow southern Mississippi guy and huge WG Still fan Van Dyke Parks.
	10:15am Doug Schulkind: Many thanks to Uncle Michael who lent me his copy of this beautiful recording.
	10:16am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc I like that story!
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: You'd have to believe that Aaron Copland was also a fan of William Grant Still. Well, I have to. (It's in my contract.)
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: Hey, βrian. What's the dope?!
	10:22am Funky16Corners: This is wonderful. I knew his name but never heard his music before.
	🥁 10:27am Brian in UK: Still also wrote operas; I can imagine Paul Robeson singing some of his tunes.
	10:29am Really Lisa: Doug, thank you!! I made that Aaron Copland assoc.. but didn't say a thing.. bc usually i'm shushed, by myself or by others for my way wrong music two cents.
	10:31am Doug Schulkind: @Really Lisa This chat board is a no-shush zone. No one should feel silenced here, ever.
	🥁 10:31am Brian in UK: Bit of Frederick Delius in there perhaps.
	10:31am TDK60: Really, Really Lisa? Other commenters have "shushed" you?
	10:32am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK Robeson singing William Grant Still would be heavenly.
	10:33am Jeff Golick: Happy place.
	🥁 10:34am Brian in UK: Jeff, HNY, missed your show on Sunday.
	10:34am Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Brian, and Happy '21 to you! Let's have a drink.
	🥁 10:35am Brian in UK: You bet.
	10:35am Gina Bacon: That was really nice, Doug!
	10:35am Really Lisa: TDK, well, maybe not shushed so much as schooled, corrected, shot down. For having an opinion on what I am hearing. I refrain from comments such as that these days.. unless a super smarty dj beats me to it. Then I'm the 'hey, me too!' person.
	10:36am Listener Gregory: @Really Lisa, that is unfortunate.
	🥁 10:39am Brian in UK: Following the Depression, the Thirties were such a creative time in the USA.
	10:41am TDK60: Really Lisa: Being corrected at least is okay, for me. I learn new stuff about music this way. I hope we don't put each other down just because we don't know, say, Scott Walker went "way-out" after being a pop star. Etc.
	10:41am Doug Schulkind: Hale and hello, Jeff Golick!
	10:42am Listener Gregory: @TDK60, you are talking nonsense about Scott Walker! Oops, sorry.
	10:42am Funky16Corners: This sounds like Bo Diddley!
	10:43am Doug Schulkind: @Gina Bacon So so so nice!
	10:45am WR: Bo Diddley always said he was a south American. ; ^))
	10:45am Really Lisa: Listener Gregory, indeed. TDK, true. I suppose 'corrected' was me being polite. Been shot down, as in 'uh no, this doesn't sound like ... at all.'
	10:46am Webhamster Henry: I just want to state that yesterday's Continental Subway Zimbabwe set might appeal to the GTDS audience. wfmu.org...
	10:47am Listener Gregory: Doug, I just this moment read that Tony Rice died on Christmas day. Did you mention this before I tuned in? (You played his 8th of January.) Very sad news. variety.com...
	10:48am Doug Schulkind: The last thing I desire to present myself as being on this show is an expert. I am way happier learning from you all than I am informing you. I intend to project the simple pleasure-taking in the joy of discovery and hope that it is, to whatever degree you find meaningful, palpable.
	10:49am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory I did mention it. I've read that he died while making coffee.
	🥁 10:50am bobdc: I was waiting for violins and then realized that I was confusing pachanga with charanga.
	10:51am TDK60: That's my attitude Doug, we can all have fun and learn new things in an egalitarian way. Some folks know a lot. Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming. But Really Lisa, if someone says "It doesn't sound like, say, The Kinks at all." So what?
	10:51am Funky16Corners: I think Saxa from the English Beat had a copy of that last record.
	10:52am Uncle Michael: EVERYTHING I know about Charanga. I will now shush myself. www.youtube.com...
	10:52am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers.
	10:52am Doug Schulkind: @bodc Waiting For Violins was the name of my first band in high school.
	10:53am Doug Schulkind: Hey hey, chresti!
	🥁 10:55am bobdc: Doug, your first high school band had many amazing names (www.google.com...) but what was your second band called?
	10:55am Listener Gregory: And when the violins came in, you had to disband?
	10:56am WR: @Really Lisa, please don't let stop sharing your reactions / impressions to the music on WFMU. one thing that pulled me into being playlist participant after several decades of being on / off again WFMU listener was general openness by knowledgeable folks. Exemplified by BPN oft reaction of something like: "I'll have to have that in mind when I listen again" to comments making associations he didn't hear.
	🥁 10:56am Brian in UK: I came to WFMU thinking that I had a decent musical knowledge. Very quickly realised this was not so, but happy to learn from the nutcases that DJ here and the generally friendly and informative listeners.
	10:58am Jeff Golick: "There's always someone who knows more" is my general operating assumption.
	10:58am Uncle Michael: I don't know half of what people think I know.
	🥁 10:58am βrian: I'm perfectly content with my indecent musical knowledge. I don't revel in it, exactly, but I'm happy to be along for the ride.
	10:59am Listener Gregory: This is quite a bed you have found, Doug. You should have many restful breaks sleeping on it. @Uncle Michael, which half?
	11:02am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc That's pretty funny. I did the same search lar year to compile a list of all my first band names. I doled them out honorarily to pledgers during the 2020 marathon.
	11:03am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I knew that. Also, thank you, Uncle Michael, for finding me this Mal Waldron record. It seems you've programmed half my show today. I love you, my brother.
	11:04am Jeff Golick: Heartmelter.
	🥁 11:04am bobdc: I'm hoping that your second band was called The New Tambourine Helmet.
	11:05am Uncle Michael: @Doug I knew that. Love you too.
	11:06am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Don't be ridiculous. What a nonsensical mess!
	11:06am Uncle Michael: Nonsensical Mess was the name of...
	🥁 11:06am βrian: Mal Waldron's stage name was Moll Rwanda, if my musical knowledge serves.
	11:08am still b/p: Non-Mensa-cal Sense was the name of my first distinctly sub-genius band and support group.
	11:08am Listener Gregory: "Left Alone" was not often recorded, but the versions that I know of are all hauntingly beautiful: this one (now), Dolphy's, and Dollar Brand (sic)–Archie Shepp.
	11:09am Doug Schulkind: The eternally wonderful and underrated Jimmy Lyons on alto here. A few weeks ago, Dave Sewelson had as his guest on Music For a Free World, the bassoonist and Jimmy Lyon's widow, Karen Borca.
	11:10am Jeff Golick: Can I put in a word for the recently departed pianist Bobby Few here? He passed, at 85, in Paris, a day ago or so.
	11:11am Really Lisa: WR, agree and yes, working on it, i.e. being less lurky and more umm, jerky? No, more chatty. And samesies on bpn :) When he and Gina B did a Friday drummer disco, I was introduced to their show, and to feeling rather welcomed to share my take on things in the comments.
	11:11am Doug Schulkind: Out of Few, many. Yes of course, Jeff!
	11:12am Jeff Golick: On the bright side, the rhythm section of this great "Other Afternoons" from 1969 is still with us, Silva and Cyrille!
	11:13am davefromtoronto: really lisa you're opinions are as valid as anyone's. don't be intimidated by the know-it-all snobs!
	11:14am alanr: This music speaks so much of today (in the general sense of "today")
	11:15am alanr: @Jeff Golick We expect you to play more than a "Few" of his recordings on Sunday morning.
	11:16am Really Lisa: Cheers, davefromtoronto :)
	11:16am Doug Schulkind: Cyrillle appeared on a track I played last week (with Walt Dickerson from 1962).
	11:17am davefromtoronto: for example i'm comfortable saying i CAN"T STAND this crazy chaotic non stop soloing jazz music but i'm hanging in there. disagree with me? bring it on!
	11:18am Doug Schulkind: @davefromtoronto Snob is such a funny word to say out loud. Say it ten times in a row and then have a good giggle at all the snobs.
	11:18am TDK60: Really Lisa, I hope you don't "shy away" from commenting as davefromtoronto opined. \|\| By the way, I like the Doors.
	🥁 11:18am βrian: @davefromtoronto: In our household, we call it "The Jazz Song."
	11:19am Doug Schulkind: "I'm hanging in there" is a beautiful thing. That's my baseline.
	11:19am Fleshly Hanging Structure: Come March, I'll be back.
	11:20am Doug Schulkind: How's it hangin', Fleshly?!
	11:21am davefromtoronto: Count Uvula is in the house
	11:23am Fleshly Hanging Structure: To the left today but who knows tomorrow.
	🥁 11:24am Brian in UK: Stop Your Snobbing was a Ray Davies song?
	11:24am still b/p: I enjoy particular artists and periods in jazz, but with occasional exceptions almost all hard bop and free jazz persistently eludes my grasp and appreciation. A friend says she "taught" herself to like hot spiced food by increasing her intake of it because she'd otherwise be missing out on it. I gotta go to bop bootcamp?
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @alanr: Sunday is William Parker's birthday, so...I dunno. Also Max Roach's birthday, but Stork has him covered.
	11:25am Doug Schulkind: The Klansman in Chief tweeted 39 minutes ago that he won't be attending the inauguration.
	11:26am Dean: "Snob" has a curious semantic evolution per OED. First appears in the 18th century as a colloquial term for shoemaker. During the 19th century it tended to mean somebody from a lower class and of little breeding, later somebody who imitates those of higher status, then finally only in the early 20th c. "A person who despises those whom he or she considers to be inferior in rank, attainment, or taste." The earliest OED illustration is a quote from Bernard Shaw, followed by Fitzgerald (from Gatsby), then Huxley, Isherwood, and so on.
	11:27am still b/p: Shirley Bassey's birthday today. Tribute track or two here, or in Hinkyville?
	11:27am Doug Schulkind: Dean, otherwise known as "Conan the Librarian," weighs in!
	11:28am WR: Jeff, seems you could encompass William Parkers music and career in just one set, no?
	🥁 11:29am Brian in UK: Well, he will not be playing golf in Scotland.
	11:29am Uncle Michael: Come join me for Internet Roulette at the top of the hour on Hinky Dinky Time, won't you? wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:29am doctorjazz: Murray and Burrell, 2 of my faves!
	11:30am fred: @Dean: interesting and quite quick evolution there. I'd trade a few crates of present days snobs for a decent cobbler (I did find a new one, but lockdowns are taking a toll)
	11:30am Doug Schulkind: That Murray/Burrell duet sounded like it could have been the fifth movement of that William Grant Still symphony. Wow!
	11:31am TDK60: Brian in UK. Did the Scots unwelcome the hotel-golf guy?
	11:31am Listener Gregory: This is crazy. 30 seconds ago I was thinking, "Didn't Abbey Lincoln do a version of that song too?" and a few seconds later this came on. How did you know, Doug???
	🥁 11:33am Brian in UK: TDK60, you bet, hope they keep to their promise, do not let him leave the USA. It is the way he gets others to do his dirty work that appalls me most.
	11:33am Doug Schulkind: I strongly urge you all to watch the new Billie Holiday documentary "Billie." It is gobsmacking. Most of the film is based on a cache of musician interviews recorded in the '70s with a journalist working on a biography of her. No one has heard these tapes before. The journalist talks with a wide array of people who knew Billie well. It is amazing, devastating, and historic.
	11:34am Listener Gregory: @still b/p, maybe get the early Ornette Coleman albums Shape of Jazz to Come and This is Our Music. After a dozen runs through you'll be singing along with them and have built up your free jazz muscles.
	11:34am Jeff Golick: @WR: hahahahahaha. [www.bb10k.com...
	11:34am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory WFMU planted a device in your back left molar.
	11:35am Listener Gregory: Good. That's one less tooth I have to floss.
	11:35am Really Lisa: davefromtoronto hehe waaay back I dated a jazz snob (he was, really!). I hung in there for 3 dates. He was palpably disappointed that I knew nothing by name except for Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain. So much for having varied interests. "Must know and love all jazz" was not mentioned upfront. TDK, Doors 👍
	11:38am TDK60: Really L. Well, Sketches by Davis is a great LP, in my haughty opinion.
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Who played the horn solo on Abbey's version?
	11:39am rw: Hey hey hey.
	11:39am Really Lisa: La di da, TDK, la.di.da. :)
	11:40am fred: @Really Lisa: I guess the way to impress a WFMU snob would with a name he never heard. In a pinch, make one up, it might be Doug's first band in high school (he might even back you up on that)
	11:42am Really Lisa: fred, nice! Filing that idea for future use.. if I ever date again hehe.
	11:43am TDK60: What? You've never heard the Updated Playlists?
	11:45am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Which horn? Eric Dolphy and Coleman Hawkins were both present on the date.
	11:45am davefromtoronto: i love the doors and am not uncomfortable saying it. particularly later doors when they got less psychedelic. i saw a doors cover band when i was a teenager and "jim morrison" -in all leather - performed the whole show with a giant live iguana perched on the top his mic stand.
	11:45am still b/p: A recent book argues for greater respect for boy bands. Lisa, you could adopt such a position and back it up like mad, just for fun and testing when someone comes at you with their own attitude and certainty.
	11:45am Doug Schulkind: Nice to see ya, are dubya!
	11:47am TDK60: Davefromtoronto: I saw a Doors cover band in the '80s and the singer took the act far too seriously, even offstage. Moody sullenness. I was like, "c'mon guy."
	🥁 11:47am Brian in UK: fred I used to play that made up name years ago, I know very childish but it was funny to hear people saying how good the band was. My favourite was Plastic Tearful.
	11:48am davefromtoronto: sounds like the same "jim" i saw...they were called "the back doors" btw
	🥁 11:48am Brian in UK: TDK60, are there cover groupies?
	11:49am TDK60: Golly Dave, I can't recall their name. That could be it. (I think they were from DC or Baltimore?)
	11:50am Doug Schulkind: If you want to lose a pound or two, you know what to do, TUNE IN TO HINKY DINKY TIME!!!! Dance yer asses off over here: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:50am Brian in UK: TDK60, like Pamela 'no holes' Barred.
	🥁 11:51am Brian in UK: Doug, thanks for a fabulous show.
	11:51am fred: @Brian in UK: Are you sure Doug wasn't in an early incarnation of Plastic Tearful?
	11:51am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK You deserve nothing less, sir.
	🥁 11:52am Brian in UK: fred, he played the four sided triangle. Badly.
	🥁 11:52am Artie: 'The Fabulettes' is a pretty great name.
	11:52am Stanley: Did any of you get the fridge magnet band name generator as a marathon swag some years ago? It's given me hours of pleasure.
	11:52am TDK60: Brian in UK, I don't know. \|\| Also is there an article you could point me to, about the Scots' inhospitality?
	🥁 11:53am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley, life is a bit slow up your way!!!
	11:53am Stanley: TDK60! As if any such article exists!
	11:53am Rich in Washington: Hola Doug! Hi everybody!
	11:53am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doug! See you all soon.
	11:54am TDK60: Hi Stanley, we were talking about a certain hotel-golf guy from the US.
	11:54am Doug Schulkind: Well ain't THAT Rich!
	11:54am WR: Tdk60 you can search for trump not welcome in Scotland and you should see lots
	🥁 11:55am Brian in UK: TDK60, her 'tis. She is a bit stuttery but you get the drift. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:55am Doug Schulkind: And what a fabulous track, Artie!
	11:55am Really Lisa: Thank you, Doug. And thanks woofmoo chit-chatters.
	11:56am TDK60: Gracias, got a bit chatty and haughty today. Hee. Extra strong espresso with cacao today can take the blame. Not me.
	11:56am still b/p: Strings so oft overdone in so many genres, so right in McCrae track. Ahhhh.
	11:57am Doug Schulkind: You are most gleefully welcome, Really Lisa. And everyone! I can't break the habit, so I'll surely be back next Friday.
	11:57am Listening Out There: Got here just in time...
	11:57am TDK60: Thanks Brian! Will listen soon...
	11:58am Doug Schulkind: @still b/p I will fight to the bloody mountaintops anyone who besmirches Billie Holiday's record with strings.
	11:58am Doug Schulkind: No time like the present, Listening Out There!
	11:58am Listener Gregory: There is gum you can chew every time you get the urge to DJ. However, eventually you become just as dependent on the gum, so it doesn't really help. And the music is worse.
	11:59am Doug Schulkind: Give the Drummer Some: It's Better Than the Gum®
	🥁 11:59am Brian in UK: I loves besmirch, was that a Dickens character?
	🥁 11:59am JtotheK: I haven't been record shopping (except online from time to time) since March 2020. I sure hope to return to area stores in 2021 and that this Webs 45 shows up.
	11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Doug. It kept me from insurrecting today. One day at a time!
	11:59am still b/p: Thanks for morning Happy Hours, Doug.
	🥁 11:59am JtotheK: Thanks for the tunes Doug, and hello everyone.
	🥁 12:00pm dutchtheo: Thanks Doug!
	12:01pm Listening Out There: Gracias, Mr. Doug Sir!
	🥁 12:01pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Doug!
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Great show!
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Yes you all next door!
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: 'Twas my great pleasure! Thanks for hanging out with me!!!

	9:01am Funky16Corners: Morning!

	9:03am Doug Schulkind: I never met Mr. Mowod, but he was a beloved figure in Pittsburgh. R.I.P. good sir. Good whenever/wherever, Brian in UK! Maggie B! Funky16Corners!
	🥁 9:05am listener james from westwood: My members of Congress are getting a dose of GTDR in the background while I'm calling them this loooovely morning.
	9:05am alanr: Bring on the good vibes!
	9:06am TDK60: Morning Doug! \|\| Nine in PGH. Tony Mowad's name rings an old bell. What station was he on? WYEP? Duquesne University's station? (forget the call letters.) Other?
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Nice that the show is on the 8th of January.!
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Citizen Kafka & The Wretched Refuse String band have a good version.
	9:08am Gina Bacon: Morning, Doug & Fridaystreamers!
	9:08am KWilde: Good Morning drummers and possum hunters!
	🥁 9:09am bobdc: Elvis and Bowie's shared birthday is an important day to celebrate.
	9:09am TDK60: Oh, reviving the Fugs' old chant (just like we did in Nov. '20): OUT! DEMONS! OUT!
	9:09am Sigurður: So where does history belong??
	9:10am Stanley: G'day Doug Happy to listen quietly in the corner.
	🥁 9:10am dutchtheo: Happy January 8th, Doug in the Burgh, and drummerfolk, from Til-burg
	9:11am Doug Schulkind: Call them all, listener james from westwood! Greetings, alanr! TDK60! Gina Bacon! Webhamster Henry! (In 2016 I had a one of my old hour-long Tuesday shows on January 8th. I am not repeating today any of the versions I played then of "The Eighth of January.") Here was my show on 8 January 2016: wfmu.org... Welcome welcome, KWilde! bobdc! Sigurður! Stanley! dutchtheo!
	9:12am Webhamster Henry: Nice and crowded today in the Drummer Some room.
	9:14am Webhamster Henry: More Spoons!
	🥁 9:15am Brian in UK: Is there a hint of buck dancing here?
	9:15am Doug Schulkind: In typical American fashion the Battle of New Orleans was a completely unnecessary, in consequential fight that we nevertheless celebrated fervently for nearly half a century. (And it also got Andrew Jackson elected president.)
	9:15am Mr C: What a great piece of music!
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry I once played spoon with a band on stage in front of 5000 people. I was 12 years old.
	9:16am Doug Schulkind: Great knows great, Mr C!
	🥁 9:16am doctorjazz: Helllooooooooo!
	9:16am TDK60: Just looked online, Mowod had been on WDUQ in the '80s-'90s. It's now called WDSR. But did Tony ever DJ at WYEP? Another station in PGH? He last DJed at a station WZUM.
	9:17am WR: of ones heard so far the Fox Chasers version has the most pronounced similarity with the Driftwood song
	9:17am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 I don't believe he ever did.
	9:18am mauri: Hiyarrrr
	9:18am Irene: Good morning, Doug and drummers! Great song to get us going on the 8th of January. Here’s to one day closer to the inauguration!
	9:19am Doug Schulkind: Hello, doctorjaaaaaaazz! @WR Driftwood put words to the melody and retitled it "The Battle of New Orleans." Johnny Horton's version was the most famous, but I played in on the show back in 2016, so I'm playing a different version. Coming up!
	9:20am Doug Schulkind: Woop woop! Howdy, Irene! mauri!
	🥁 9:20am Artie: Good morning, all!
	9:20am WR: the battle was fought because of bad wifi in the delta humidity so they didn't get the email of the negotiated truce. imagine the Brits surprise, they thought they were heading to a post war frolic in New Orleans and then were bushwhacked.
	9:22am still b/p: Hot dog! Let's clog!
	9:23am Nine in PGH: Tony may have DJ’ed at WYEP before I was there in1976 I only met him from DUQ. WDUQ license now belongs to Essential Public Media, the WESA-FM operator
	🥁 9:25am duke: Hello Doug and Drummers
	9:25am Sigurður: Devil's play once
	9:26am Doug Schulkind: The demise of WDUQ in Pittsburgh was an ugly affair. I was brand-new to town, so it didn't hit me in the gut the way it did native jazz lovers here. Yah-haw! Climb aboard, Artie! stll b/p! duke!
	9:27am bigplanetnoise: Good morning!!! Coffee!!! Brrrr!!! And, hooray!!!
	9:28am Doug Schulkind: bigplanetnoise is here! Get that man eight cups of coffee!
	9:28am TDK60: Nine in PGH: I used to listen WYEP a lot. Sort of like WFMU. Then it got less so. WDUQ had great jazz. Then there was WRCT up at CMU Univ. Good too.
	9:29am Alex In Illinois: Hi. I heard this song start up. Wasn't this battle in this song won on the 8th of January?
	9:29am Sigurður: 9 FUCKING cups...
	9:29am Alex In Illinois: Sorry to all British listeners.
	9:30am Doug Schulkind: Alex in Illinois is firing the big guns!
	9:30am Doug Schulkind: Big guns of love, of course.
	9:31am Listener Gregory: Was going to ask what date it was, but...
	9:31am Gina Bacon: Morning, bigplanetnoise! Hot coffee would warm you up!
	9:31am Sigurður: SCOTLAND should have independence, dimple message for 200000 years of humanity, simply brought from sea development
	9:31am Gina Bacon: (I know, I know)
	9:32am Alex In Illinois: Remember, neither side won in the war of 1812. Both side agreed to stop all the fighting.
	9:32am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!! You know....
	9:33am listener Rey: Hi Doug, I wondered about the significance of that date
	9:33am still b/p: Dimple message....ahh, so, when someone says "DM me," that's what they mean.
	9:33am Alex In Illinois: After that, the US and UK just could not get enough of each other. When the 19th century finished, the US and UK were collaborating in laying transatlantic cables.
	9:35am Sigurður: Fuck
	9:36am Alex In Illinois: There were multiple attempts to get functional trans-Atlantic cables, because people were not aware that there are mountain ranges on the bottom of the ocean. Cable kept getting broken.
	9:38am Sigurður: My people are famous for screaming in between a crack of continents, fuck the rest, rightgt?
	9:38am Nine in PGH: @ TDK60 WYEP was truly a free form station in the 70s and 80s. Very diverse line up including my fave Dan Barnett aka Daniel the Bee No more. RCT is about as close as it gets now.
	🥁 9:39am listener james from westwood: Fascinating read on the cable-laying saga was "The Victorian Internet," dealing with the rise and decline of telegraphy.
	9:39am Alex In Illinois: The thing about some folk music circles in the US, is that the subject of current politics can be taboo. So it might not be a good idea to write a fiddle tune commemorating the 6th of January.
	9:40am TDK60: Nine: Yes! WYEP was a radio lifeline to us freaks down in Morgantown, West Virginia.
	🥁 9:40am listener james from westwood: Very sad I wasn't able to get down to Atlanta last year for a conference, but it's been rescheduled there for later this decade, and I'll be delighted to finally visit Georgia as a result.
	9:40am Hams: we just try to give the drummer some here in georgia.
	9:40am fred: Greetings Doug and all @Doug: may you play spoons in front of 12 people when you're 5000
	9:41am Alex In Illinois: The most powerful network created in Victorian times is still with us: Plumming and sewers, including flush toilets.
	9:41am Alex In Illinois: I meant Plumbing
	9:42am Doug Schulkind: @Nine in PGH When I first moved here I got approved to do fill-ins at WYEP, but the station's relentless mediocrity turned me away. I then went to WRCT and got approved there, but I was turned off by their ridiculous programming requirements they impose on the DJs. @fred A fascinating but terrifying scenario! Hello, Hams!
	9:42am Doug Schulkind: G'morning, listener Rey!
	9:42am Sigurður: Alew! @ screan... M. For the he hell of it
	9:42am Sigurður: X
	9:42am TDK60: Alex, I think it's pathetic that socio-political themes are out in "folk." Yesterday I was on the NYC subway and a busker got on and surprisingly did Dylan's Times They Are A-changin'. I thought the response would be ho-hum as it's an old tune. But he got a /lot/ of coins from the mostly black riders!
	9:43am Stanley: (wakes up from snooze) Love Sulakshana Pandit. One of the few playback singers who also acted.
	9:44am Doug Schulkind: @Alex in Illinois Are you saying unclogging toilets is a plumb assignment?
	9:44am Asheville Jon: hello everyone. happy 'made it through wednesday' to all
	9:44am fred: @Doug: Looks daunting, I know, but at the rate we're aging, you might get there before the end of Ivanka's third term
	🥁 9:45am Brian in UK: Plum was P G Wodehouse's nickname. just saying, you know, like, kind of.
	9:46am Doug Schulkind: @Stanley Thanks for that tidbit! Welcome, Asheville Jon!
	9:46am Bill D: Good morning from frosted Rock Tavern NY. Maybe some of this Cajun and Indian heat will melt this hard frost.
	9:46am Alex In Illinois: @TDK60: Those themes are not out in ALL "folk" circles, but just some of them. In any city, you can likely find some where they are encouraged.
	9:46am WR: @TDK60, sounds like a nice moment on the subway.
	🥁 9:46am listener james from westwood: Hooooo, they're gonna need a cigarette after that track!
	9:46am TDK60: Yes Doug, WYEP's slide toward more-normal was a bore. Didn't know WRCT has such programming requirements but haven't heard in years.
	9:48am mauri: This takes me back all the way to the indian buffet I had yesterday
	9:48am Stanley: Ah, memories of long uncomfortable bus rides and tinny speakers.
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Good morning.
	🥁 9:49am Brian in UK: Vegetable Biryana for me please.
	9:49am Doug Schulkind: @Bill D As long as you and Maggie have power! @TDK60 At WYEP they always pick the most vanilla track on every LP they spin. Relentlessly tedious. At WRCT, they make every DJ play at least three tracks an hour from a list of CDs determined by management. An absurdity I would have never agreed to.
	9:51am BillD: Ah , you remember how easy the power goes out. Back up generator coming soon.
	9:52am Funky16Corners: I just ordered some interesting curries and Southeast Asian slices for my kitchen. If I can’t go out, I’ll make it here.
	9:52am WR: @Bill D, unlikely WFMU will have any impact on the frost outside but it can warm up your hands by holding your playback device or your whole body if you do dance aerobics to rhe drummer rhythms.
	9:52am Doug Schulkind: "Interesting curries and Southeast Asian slices." I just wanted to say that sentence out loud.
	9:53am Doug Schulkind: Good michael, Uncle Morning!
	9:55am still b/p: re: politics in music -- A recently-seen doc on John Denver talked about his activism, which, while real, was exaggerated I think in impact as described -- claim being made that he was some kind of trailblazer in musician activism and godfather of it, the prime example for the big cause pursuers of 80s. Also in the doc, a quote on cultural impact goes something like this: "What Elvis was to the 50s, and the Beatles were to the 60s, John Denver was to the 70s." Ehhhhhhhhh, no.
	9:56am Pedro in Arlington: Not to be a downer but was just thinking of the terror attack at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh and Wednesday's attack on the Capitol. And that the president of the United States is complicit in the killing of a police officer.
	🥁 9:57am Brian in UK: still b/p was he the one who stockpiled quantities of fuel.
	9:59am still b/p: Don't know. I recall hearing years ago about him being prickly and far out of mainstream thinking near the end of his life, but the doc -- largely favorable or fawning -- didn't get into that.
	9:59am Doug Schulkind: @Pedro in Arlington Trump is complicit in the Tree of Life massacre (which took place five minutes from my house) as well. Prior to the murders, the shooter at Tree of Life had been huffing Trump's lie about a caravan of migrants heading for our Southern border.
	10:03am Funky16Corners: Oooh, Dave Pike! Also, that was supposed to say “spices”
	10:04am TDK60: I discovered Bollywood in an Indian/Asian grocery. They had cassettes for $2. Kishore Kumar was my first such tape.
	10:04am Really Lisa: Hi Doug and drummer streamers all. Taking a seat in the back a bit late.
	10:05am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Really Really Lisa!
	10:05am Webhamster Henry: Does anyone have a good list of over the top Bollywood musicals?
	10:07am Nine in PGH: @ Doug The final nail in the coffin for my listening to WYEP is when they tried to harness The Roots and Rhythm Mix about a decade ago. The creator DJ , Kate Borger had to leave then. 😕
	10:08am Really Lisa: Hey bpn :) really really nice seeing you here! Coffee-licious new year to you!
	10:09am Pedro in Arlington: Indeed Doug. He incited several attacks over the last 4 years - El Paso, Kenosha and of course Tree of Life. Sadly the cowards and profiteers who propped him up only now are willing to let him fall. The death of a police officer will be too much even for them and they'll try to slink off and pretend they were elsewhere the last 5 years. Lindsey Graham has already offered a few stunning performances in the last few days.
	10:11am Doug Schulkind: So glad you're here, Really Lisa!
	10:11am Alex In Illinois: @Listener James from Westwood: thanks for the suggestion for "The Victorian Internet". I might check that book out sometime.
	10:12am TDK60: So great to hear this W.G. Still; never heard this.
	10:12am Really Lisa: This is lovely.
	10:13am Doug Schulkind: @Nine in PGH The folks at WYEP partnered with a horrible group, I think based in Colorado, that was voraciously devouring available public radio licenses around the country, purchased WDUQ and then summarily dissolved the jazz programming.
	10:14am Listener Gregory: Music!
	10:14am Doug Schulkind: It's about time, eh, Listener Gregory?
	🥁 10:15am βrian: Good dopey morning. (Speaking for myself, anyway.)
	🥁 10:15am bobdc: A while ago I found some WG Still strings reminding me of an early Randy Newman record, and it turns out that the latter was arranged by fellow southern Mississippi guy and huge WG Still fan Van Dyke Parks.
	10:15am Doug Schulkind: Many thanks to Uncle Michael who lent me his copy of this beautiful recording.
	10:16am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc I like that story!
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: You'd have to believe that Aaron Copland was also a fan of William Grant Still. Well, I have to. (It's in my contract.)
	10:18am Doug Schulkind: Hey, βrian. What's the dope?!
	10:22am Funky16Corners: This is wonderful. I knew his name but never heard his music before.
	🥁 10:27am Brian in UK: Still also wrote operas; I can imagine Paul Robeson singing some of his tunes.
	10:29am Really Lisa: Doug, thank you!! I made that Aaron Copland assoc.. but didn't say a thing.. bc usually i'm shushed, by myself or by others for my way wrong music two cents.
	10:31am Doug Schulkind: @Really Lisa This chat board is a no-shush zone. No one should feel silenced here, ever.
	🥁 10:31am Brian in UK: Bit of Frederick Delius in there perhaps.
	10:31am TDK60: Really, Really Lisa? Other commenters have "shushed" you?
	10:32am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK Robeson singing William Grant Still would be heavenly.
	10:33am Jeff Golick: Happy place.
	🥁 10:34am Brian in UK: Jeff, HNY, missed your show on Sunday.
	10:34am Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Brian, and Happy '21 to you! Let's have a drink.
	🥁 10:35am Brian in UK: You bet.
	10:35am Gina Bacon: That was really nice, Doug!
	10:35am Really Lisa: TDK, well, maybe not shushed so much as schooled, corrected, shot down. For having an opinion on what I am hearing. I refrain from comments such as that these days.. unless a super smarty dj beats me to it. Then I'm the 'hey, me too!' person.
	10:36am Listener Gregory: @Really Lisa, that is unfortunate.
	🥁 10:39am Brian in UK: Following the Depression, the Thirties were such a creative time in the USA.
	10:41am TDK60: Really Lisa: Being corrected at least is okay, for me. I learn new stuff about music this way. I hope we don't put each other down just because we don't know, say, Scott Walker went "way-out" after being a pop star. Etc.
	10:41am Doug Schulkind: Hale and hello, Jeff Golick!
	10:42am Listener Gregory: @TDK60, you are talking nonsense about Scott Walker! Oops, sorry.
	10:42am Funky16Corners: This sounds like Bo Diddley!
	10:43am Doug Schulkind: @Gina Bacon So so so nice!
	10:45am WR: Bo Diddley always said he was a south American. ; ^))
	10:45am Really Lisa: Listener Gregory, indeed. TDK, true. I suppose 'corrected' was me being polite. Been shot down, as in 'uh no, this doesn't sound like ... at all.'
	10:46am Webhamster Henry: I just want to state that yesterday's Continental Subway Zimbabwe set might appeal to the GTDS audience. wfmu.org...
	10:47am Listener Gregory: Doug, I just this moment read that Tony Rice died on Christmas day. Did you mention this before I tuned in? (You played his 8th of January.) Very sad news. variety.com...
	10:48am Doug Schulkind: The last thing I desire to present myself as being on this show is an expert. I am way happier learning from you all than I am informing you. I intend to project the simple pleasure-taking in the joy of discovery and hope that it is, to whatever degree you find meaningful, palpable.
	10:49am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory I did mention it. I've read that he died while making coffee.
	🥁 10:50am bobdc: I was waiting for violins and then realized that I was confusing pachanga with charanga.
	10:51am TDK60: That's my attitude Doug, we can all have fun and learn new things in an egalitarian way. Some folks know a lot. Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming. But Really Lisa, if someone says "It doesn't sound like, say, The Kinks at all." So what?
	10:51am Funky16Corners: I think Saxa from the English Beat had a copy of that last record.
	10:52am Uncle Michael: EVERYTHING I know about Charanga. I will now shush myself. www.youtube.com...
	10:52am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers.
	10:52am Doug Schulkind: @bodc Waiting For Violins was the name of my first band in high school.
	10:53am Doug Schulkind: Hey hey, chresti!
	🥁 10:55am bobdc: Doug, your first high school band had many amazing names (www.google.com...) but what was your second band called?
	10:55am Listener Gregory: And when the violins came in, you had to disband?
	10:56am WR: @Really Lisa, please don't let stop sharing your reactions / impressions to the music on WFMU. one thing that pulled me into being playlist participant after several decades of being on / off again WFMU listener was general openness by knowledgeable folks. Exemplified by BPN oft reaction of something like: "I'll have to have that in mind when I listen again" to comments making associations he didn't hear.
	🥁 10:56am Brian in UK: I came to WFMU thinking that I had a decent musical knowledge. Very quickly realised this was not so, but happy to learn from the nutcases that DJ here and the generally friendly and informative listeners.
	10:58am Jeff Golick: "There's always someone who knows more" is my general operating assumption.
	10:58am Uncle Michael: I don't know half of what people think I know.
	🥁 10:58am βrian: I'm perfectly content with my indecent musical knowledge. I don't revel in it, exactly, but I'm happy to be along for the ride.
	10:59am Listener Gregory: This is quite a bed you have found, Doug. You should have many restful breaks sleeping on it. @Uncle Michael, which half?
	11:02am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc That's pretty funny. I did the same search lar year to compile a list of all my first band names. I doled them out honorarily to pledgers during the 2020 marathon.
	11:03am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I knew that. Also, thank you, Uncle Michael, for finding me this Mal Waldron record. It seems you've programmed half my show today. I love you, my brother.
	11:04am Jeff Golick: Heartmelter.
	🥁 11:04am bobdc: I'm hoping that your second band was called The New Tambourine Helmet.
	11:05am Uncle Michael: @Doug I knew that. Love you too.
	11:06am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Don't be ridiculous. What a nonsensical mess!
	11:06am Uncle Michael: Nonsensical Mess was the name of...
	🥁 11:06am βrian: Mal Waldron's stage name was Moll Rwanda, if my musical knowledge serves.
	11:08am still b/p: Non-Mensa-cal Sense was the name of my first distinctly sub-genius band and support group.
	11:08am Listener Gregory: "Left Alone" was not often recorded, but the versions that I know of are all hauntingly beautiful: this one (now), Dolphy's, and Dollar Brand (sic)–Archie Shepp.
	11:09am Doug Schulkind: The eternally wonderful and underrated Jimmy Lyons on alto here. A few weeks ago, Dave Sewelson had as his guest on Music For a Free World, the bassoonist and Jimmy Lyon's widow, Karen Borca.
	11:10am Jeff Golick: Can I put in a word for the recently departed pianist Bobby Few here? He passed, at 85, in Paris, a day ago or so.
	11:11am Really Lisa: WR, agree and yes, working on it, i.e. being less lurky and more umm, jerky? No, more chatty. And samesies on bpn :) When he and Gina B did a Friday drummer disco, I was introduced to their show, and to feeling rather welcomed to share my take on things in the comments.
	11:11am Doug Schulkind: Out of Few, many. Yes of course, Jeff!
	11:12am Jeff Golick: On the bright side, the rhythm section of this great "Other Afternoons" from 1969 is still with us, Silva and Cyrille!
	11:13am davefromtoronto: really lisa you're opinions are as valid as anyone's. don't be intimidated by the know-it-all snobs!
	11:14am alanr: This music speaks so much of today (in the general sense of "today")
	11:15am alanr: @Jeff Golick We expect you to play more than a "Few" of his recordings on Sunday morning.
	11:16am Really Lisa: Cheers, davefromtoronto :)
	11:16am Doug Schulkind: Cyrillle appeared on a track I played last week (with Walt Dickerson from 1962).
	11:17am davefromtoronto: for example i'm comfortable saying i CAN"T STAND this crazy chaotic non stop soloing jazz music but i'm hanging in there. disagree with me? bring it on!
	11:18am Doug Schulkind: @davefromtoronto Snob is such a funny word to say out loud. Say it ten times in a row and then have a good giggle at all the snobs.
	11:18am TDK60: Really Lisa, I hope you don't "shy away" from commenting as davefromtoronto opined. \|\| By the way, I like the Doors.
	🥁 11:18am βrian: @davefromtoronto: In our household, we call it "The Jazz Song."
	11:19am Doug Schulkind: "I'm hanging in there" is a beautiful thing. That's my baseline.
	11:19am Fleshly Hanging Structure: Come March, I'll be back.
	11:20am Doug Schulkind: How's it hangin', Fleshly?!
	11:21am davefromtoronto: Count Uvula is in the house
	11:23am Fleshly Hanging Structure: To the left today but who knows tomorrow.
	🥁 11:24am Brian in UK: Stop Your Snobbing was a Ray Davies song?
	11:24am still b/p: I enjoy particular artists and periods in jazz, but with occasional exceptions almost all hard bop and free jazz persistently eludes my grasp and appreciation. A friend says she "taught" herself to like hot spiced food by increasing her intake of it because she'd otherwise be missing out on it. I gotta go to bop bootcamp?
	11:25am Jeff Golick: @alanr: Sunday is William Parker's birthday, so...I dunno. Also Max Roach's birthday, but Stork has him covered.
	11:25am Doug Schulkind: The Klansman in Chief tweeted 39 minutes ago that he won't be attending the inauguration.
	11:26am Dean: "Snob" has a curious semantic evolution per OED. First appears in the 18th century as a colloquial term for shoemaker. During the 19th century it tended to mean somebody from a lower class and of little breeding, later somebody who imitates those of higher status, then finally only in the early 20th c. "A person who despises those whom he or she considers to be inferior in rank, attainment, or taste." The earliest OED illustration is a quote from Bernard Shaw, followed by Fitzgerald (from Gatsby), then Huxley, Isherwood, and so on.
	11:27am still b/p: Shirley Bassey's birthday today. Tribute track or two here, or in Hinkyville?
	11:27am Doug Schulkind: Dean, otherwise known as "Conan the Librarian," weighs in!
	11:28am WR: Jeff, seems you could encompass William Parkers music and career in just one set, no?
	🥁 11:29am Brian in UK: Well, he will not be playing golf in Scotland.
	11:29am Uncle Michael: Come join me for Internet Roulette at the top of the hour on Hinky Dinky Time, won't you? wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:29am doctorjazz: Murray and Burrell, 2 of my faves!
	11:30am fred: @Dean: interesting and quite quick evolution there. I'd trade a few crates of present days snobs for a decent cobbler (I did find a new one, but lockdowns are taking a toll)
	11:30am Doug Schulkind: That Murray/Burrell duet sounded like it could have been the fifth movement of that William Grant Still symphony. Wow!
	11:31am TDK60: Brian in UK. Did the Scots unwelcome the hotel-golf guy?
	11:31am Listener Gregory: This is crazy. 30 seconds ago I was thinking, "Didn't Abbey Lincoln do a version of that song too?" and a few seconds later this came on. How did you know, Doug???
	🥁 11:33am Brian in UK: TDK60, you bet, hope they keep to their promise, do not let him leave the USA. It is the way he gets others to do his dirty work that appalls me most.
	11:33am Doug Schulkind: I strongly urge you all to watch the new Billie Holiday documentary "Billie." It is gobsmacking. Most of the film is based on a cache of musician interviews recorded in the '70s with a journalist working on a biography of her. No one has heard these tapes before. The journalist talks with a wide array of people who knew Billie well. It is amazing, devastating, and historic.
	11:34am Listener Gregory: @still b/p, maybe get the early Ornette Coleman albums Shape of Jazz to Come and This is Our Music. After a dozen runs through you'll be singing along with them and have built up your free jazz muscles.
	11:34am Jeff Golick: @WR: hahahahahaha. [www.bb10k.com...
	11:34am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory WFMU planted a device in your back left molar.
	11:35am Listener Gregory: Good. That's one less tooth I have to floss.
	11:35am Really Lisa: davefromtoronto hehe waaay back I dated a jazz snob (he was, really!). I hung in there for 3 dates. He was palpably disappointed that I knew nothing by name except for Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain. So much for having varied interests. "Must know and love all jazz" was not mentioned upfront. TDK, Doors 👍
	11:38am TDK60: Really L. Well, Sketches by Davis is a great LP, in my haughty opinion.
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Who played the horn solo on Abbey's version?
	11:39am rw: Hey hey hey.
	11:39am Really Lisa: La di da, TDK, la.di.da. :)
	11:40am fred: @Really Lisa: I guess the way to impress a WFMU snob would with a name he never heard. In a pinch, make one up, it might be Doug's first band in high school (he might even back you up on that)
	11:42am Really Lisa: fred, nice! Filing that idea for future use.. if I ever date again hehe.
	11:43am TDK60: What? You've never heard the Updated Playlists?
	11:45am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Which horn? Eric Dolphy and Coleman Hawkins were both present on the date.
	11:45am davefromtoronto: i love the doors and am not uncomfortable saying it. particularly later doors when they got less psychedelic. i saw a doors cover band when i was a teenager and "jim morrison" -in all leather - performed the whole show with a giant live iguana perched on the top his mic stand.
	11:45am still b/p: A recent book argues for greater respect for boy bands. Lisa, you could adopt such a position and back it up like mad, just for fun and testing when someone comes at you with their own attitude and certainty.
	11:45am Doug Schulkind: Nice to see ya, are dubya!
	11:47am TDK60: Davefromtoronto: I saw a Doors cover band in the '80s and the singer took the act far too seriously, even offstage. Moody sullenness. I was like, "c'mon guy."
	🥁 11:47am Brian in UK: fred I used to play that made up name years ago, I know very childish but it was funny to hear people saying how good the band was. My favourite was Plastic Tearful.
	11:48am davefromtoronto: sounds like the same "jim" i saw...they were called "the back doors" btw
	🥁 11:48am Brian in UK: TDK60, are there cover groupies?
	11:49am TDK60: Golly Dave, I can't recall their name. That could be it. (I think they were from DC or Baltimore?)
	11:50am Doug Schulkind: If you want to lose a pound or two, you know what to do, TUNE IN TO HINKY DINKY TIME!!!! Dance yer asses off over here: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:50am Brian in UK: TDK60, like Pamela 'no holes' Barred.
	🥁 11:51am Brian in UK: Doug, thanks for a fabulous show.
	11:51am fred: @Brian in UK: Are you sure Doug wasn't in an early incarnation of Plastic Tearful?
	11:51am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK You deserve nothing less, sir.
	🥁 11:52am Brian in UK: fred, he played the four sided triangle. Badly.
	🥁 11:52am Artie: 'The Fabulettes' is a pretty great name.
	11:52am Stanley: Did any of you get the fridge magnet band name generator as a marathon swag some years ago? It's given me hours of pleasure.
	11:52am TDK60: Brian in UK, I don't know. \|\| Also is there an article you could point me to, about the Scots' inhospitality?
	🥁 11:53am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley, life is a bit slow up your way!!!
	11:53am Stanley: TDK60! As if any such article exists!
	11:53am Rich in Washington: Hola Doug! Hi everybody!
	11:53am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doug! See you all soon.
	11:54am TDK60: Hi Stanley, we were talking about a certain hotel-golf guy from the US.
	11:54am Doug Schulkind: Well ain't THAT Rich!
	11:54am WR: Tdk60 you can search for trump not welcome in Scotland and you should see lots
	🥁 11:55am Brian in UK: TDK60, her 'tis. She is a bit stuttery but you get the drift. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:55am Doug Schulkind: And what a fabulous track, Artie!
	11:55am Really Lisa: Thank you, Doug. And thanks woofmoo chit-chatters.
	11:56am TDK60: Gracias, got a bit chatty and haughty today. Hee. Extra strong espresso with cacao today can take the blame. Not me.
	11:56am still b/p: Strings so oft overdone in so many genres, so right in McCrae track. Ahhhh.
	11:57am Doug Schulkind: You are most gleefully welcome, Really Lisa. And everyone! I can't break the habit, so I'll surely be back next Friday.
	11:57am Listening Out There: Got here just in time...
	11:57am TDK60: Thanks Brian! Will listen soon...
	11:58am Doug Schulkind: @still b/p I will fight to the bloody mountaintops anyone who besmirches Billie Holiday's record with strings.
	11:58am Doug Schulkind: No time like the present, Listening Out There!
	11:58am Listener Gregory: There is gum you can chew every time you get the urge to DJ. However, eventually you become just as dependent on the gum, so it doesn't really help. And the music is worse.
	11:59am Doug Schulkind: Give the Drummer Some: It's Better Than the Gum®
	🥁 11:59am Brian in UK: I loves besmirch, was that a Dickens character?
	🥁 11:59am JtotheK: I haven't been record shopping (except online from time to time) since March 2020. I sure hope to return to area stores in 2021 and that this Webs 45 shows up.
	11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Doug. It kept me from insurrecting today. One day at a time!
	11:59am still b/p: Thanks for morning Happy Hours, Doug.
	🥁 11:59am JtotheK: Thanks for the tunes Doug, and hello everyone.
	🥁 12:00pm dutchtheo: Thanks Doug!
	12:01pm Listening Out There: Gracias, Mr. Doug Sir!
	🥁 12:01pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Doug!
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Great show!
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Yes you all next door!
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: 'Twas my great pleasure! Thanks for hanging out with me!!!
	🥁 12:03pm Artie: Thanks, Doug!!
