The Latin Soul of Tico Records” double-LP that Zipperdawg won, but neither he nor I have a turntable. So if someone can rip the tracks for me, I’ll mail you the LP to keep. If interested, email me at zipperhead7@gmail.com. I’ll even include a lagniappe!
	♥ 9:28am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Doug. It's really too early for me to be typing, but here I go anyway. This morning I woke up with the overwhelming desire to hear two songs in my 45's collection back to back - Down On Me by Big Brother and the Holding Company and Don't Laugh at Me by Howlin' Wolf. Yesterday I told myself I wasn't going to sift through records today, but I feel I must. What do yo do when the urge overtakes you, but reason tells you not to do it?
	🥁 ♥ 9:29am PAULS: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:22 I was a massive Toad Head.
	♥ 9:30am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:28 The Wolf is/was beyond reason, Franco!! Get that on the turntable, and you'll be sittin' on top of the world.
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:28 Franco, once you start looking no doubt there will be many that take your eye to play as you continue to look. Then suddenly it is tea time.
	♥ 9:34am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome, Papa BillfromRock Tavern! How are ya feeling, tom tom? Ola, adamdoesit! Greetings, Zip7 and you lucky dawg! Obey all urges, Franco Twinkie, except the ones that harm others. My Viking brother PAULS!
	9:34am Jeff g. via app,: Soundtracking the alternate side shuffle quite nicely this morning. And now we sit.
	♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @9:34 Jeff g. via app, when you do the alternate side shuffle, you make an ASS of you and me.
	9:38am BillfromRockTavern: It's Mama Maggie's B'Day today!
	♥ 9:39am Doug Schulkind: Just setting the record straight: Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation on Earth.
	♥ 9:40am Doug Schulkind: ↳ BillfromRockTavern @9:38 Bloody hell! Please give dear Maggie a most adoring handshake from me!
	♥ 9:40am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Brian in UK @9:32 Exactly! The day before yesterday I told myself I was going to make a mulberry pie AND play 45's. Well, I played a lot of records and jumped around in the living room, but then I was too tired to make a pie! Meanwhile, the mulberries are raining down. Mulberries wait for no man - one minute there here, the next minute they're gone, BUT I GOT TO HERE THOSE RECORDS!!!
	♥ 9:40am Andrew in Toronto: Good morng, Doug, and all other listeners!
	9:40am BillfromRockTavern: You're teasing me with this presumably impossible to find Indonesian set of music.
	♥ 9:40am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @9:13 Morning, Gina!
	♥ 9:40am Doug Schulkind: Hey hey! Happy to see you, Andrew in Toronto!
	♥ 9:43am Doug Schulkind: ↳ BillfromRockTavern @9:40 Papa Bill, this music is less impossible to find than you may think. Go to this blog and search: madrotter-treasure-hunt.blogspot.com The proprietor of the Madrotter blog, Henk den Toom, is maybe the most prolific music-sharing blogger in human history.
	♥ 9:43am tim: ↳ Song: "Kacang Asin" by "Cucun Cunayah" Hello Dr Doug and all on the Drummer Show! I could listen to gamelan rhythms all day! Imagine amplifying that bass gong through a Jamaican sound system!
	♥ 9:44am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @9:16 Morning, chrestikins!
	♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:43 tim, I believe no sub-woofer could survive it.
	♥ 9:44am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @9:08 Good morning. doc!
	♥ 9:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:34 thanks for asking doug, still sick, no better, but no worse
	🥁 ♥ 9:48am chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @9:44 Morning Andrew un TOkins!
	♥ 9:48am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:46 I guess you take that as a "win," tom tom. Keep fighting the good fight. We need you back on your feet!
	♥ 9:49am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:44 hahaha! At the university I work at, there was a Balinese Gamelan master musician who taught in the musc department. Each semester he'd teach gamelan orchestra class for music students and a second class for community members. There would be a performance at the end of each semester. The master has since retired but it was a real privilege to attend so many gamelan concerts.
	♥ 9:51am Doug Schulkind: A calung is a bamboo slotted marimba. Check it out: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:49 Wesleyan University has a long-running gamelan orchestra. There was gamelan at Oberlin when I was there in the early '80s.
	♥ 9:53am Listener Gregory: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:51 I heard a classical concert not long ago that was almost entirely marimba music. There was some good stuff there.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Andrew Weintraub leads a wonderful gamelan group here at the University of Pittsburgh: www.music.pitt.edu... Andrew is pals with Henk den Toom, the blogger I mentioned earlier.
	♥ 9:55am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:53 Did you paly in it?
	🥁 ♥ 9:55am Zip7: ↳ Song: "Manintin" by "Sulaeman & Members of the National ... This flute has summoned a satyr into the back yard
	♥ 9:55am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:53 Marimba people are good people, Listener Gregory.
	♥ 9:56am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:54 Wow! There's an Afro Pop ensemble too. Nice.
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:55 I didn't, tim. I did play in Oberlin's steel drum orchestra, as evidenced by this alumni page on Oberlin Steel's website: www.oberlinsteelpan.com...
	♥ 9:59am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:57 Very cool! You were still tapping on some metal :)
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Sorry I'm late, I'll just take a seat here in the back.
	♥ 9:59am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @9:29 Hi there, PAUS!
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @9:59 Glad you're here, Chris in Kensington Bklyn!
	♥ 10:02am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:59 Actually, tim, I didn't play pans, I was on assorted percussion. Often played maybe the most important instrument in a steel orchestra: the brake drum. Taken from the wheel assembly of an automobile, the brake drum makes an incredibly piercing clang when struck with a metal bolt.
	♥ 10:02am Listener Gregory: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:02 and is played at the end of every piece?
	♥ 10:03am Little Danny: hello loving this!!!
	♥ 10:03am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:02 Actually, the brake drum is often clanged on the beat throughout the performance. The main time keeper.
	♥ 10:04am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Little Danny @10:03 I'm loving you loving this, Little Danny!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:03 I fell like I also hear the brake drum frequently in the music of Tom Waits.
	♥ 10:06am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:03 Oh wow. I never noticed that before in a steel drum orchestra. That's quite similar to the time keep in gamelan. Was the brake drum you played repurposed from a car or manufactured as in instrument?
	🥁 ♥ 10:07am Sem: Good morning, Drumhead Doug, and paradiddlers and rat-a-tat-tatt-ers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10am Brian in UK: 'pataphysics: the way forward.
	♥ 10:10am Little Danny: wow!
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @10:06 tim, it was 40+ years ago, so I'm not sure I remember. Pretty sure we had an actual car part. Fake brake drums are sold these days that mimic the sound. They're sold in a variety of vibrant colors.
	🥁 ♥ 10:12am Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @10:10 Hello, hatted-Callie Brian.
	10:12am still b/p: Did a cop pull Robert over and tell him to recite this?
	♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:10 Brian in UK, never pat a physician unless you are close personal friends and have their consent.
	♥ 10:13am Doug Schulkind: Good morning, Sem! Good morning, still b/p!
	🥁 ♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @10:12 Hello Sem. Just about to cut some grass, not good enough to call it lawn.
	♥ 10:14am Doug Schulkind: ↳ still b/p @10:12 still b/p if that golf guy who got arrested this morning was a Black man, he'd be dead.
	♥ 10:14am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" You can hear so much of the carry-over from this into the early Kevin Ayers'/The Whole Wide World solo efforts....little structures that persisted...interesting....not surprising I suppose, but interesting.....
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" Cuneiform seems an appropriate label for this.
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am bobdc: Wyatt is reminding me a bit of the Bonzo Dog Band here.
	♥ 10:16am Alex from Media: Good morning all, Day off today. I get to hear the one and only Doug Shulkind live!
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am βrian: A glorious morning here on the isthmus. Hello.
	♥ 10:17am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:15 My dear friend, the late Michael King, did the mastering on this collection and for many wonderful Cuneiform releases. Michael was a Robert Wyatt historian and wrote the biography "Wrong Movements": www.goodreads.com...
	♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind: ↳ βrian @10:16 As Louis Jordan sang, βrian, "Isth you isth, or isth you ain't my baby?"
	🥁 ♥ 10:18am Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @10:13 "You do know what you've had, when it's gone", I've never heard sung, BiUK.
	♥ 10:19am Doug Schulkind: So glad you're listening live, Alex from Media! The alternative would be no good at all.
	♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind: ↳ bobdc @10:16 Methinks it's all that insouciant irreverence, bobdc.
	♥ 10:21am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:13 Brian in UK, please tell me you are using a scythe, grim reaper style, to cut your grass. Please tell me this!
	♥ 10:22am WR: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" Lovely to hear Rivmic Robert today. Hello Doug and GTD streamers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:23am sinner: No Mow May.
	♥ 10:24am tim: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" I'm sure digging this!
	♥ 10:24am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" You have my attention....
	♥ 10:24am StringOFperils: Cover your mouth when you lawn.
	♥ 10:24am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @10:18 Hi, Sem!
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: ↳ sinner @10:23 We celebrate No Mow May all year long, sinner.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @10:24 Good morning to you, AiT!
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:21 Doug, ofcourse it is a scythe. Not sure about the reaper though. Feeling grim at the moment with a full on cold.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am βrian: Dougie & Howie? Surely, you jest.
	♥ 10:33am Doug Schulkind: Dougie and Howie and Sonny and John, βrian.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Tenor Madness recording must be close to Rollin's Way Out West. Which coincidentally I bought way out east in the Czech Republic.
	♥ 10:34am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:30 Hope you heal up soon, Brian in UK. Who is going to read the chickens their bedtime stories?
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: Sonny Rollins is a wonderful follow on Twitter.
	10:35am Dean: The grass is always greener on the other scythe. Hey, two Kronos Quartet stalwarts are retiring! https://kronosquartet.org/kronos-festival-2024/?mc_cid=7573f1c41f&mc_eid=9ced07df52
	♥ 10:35am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... This is often interpreted as Sonny giving his imprimatur to Coltrane as being a worthy successor (although Rollins was very far from retiring at this point).
	♥ 10:36am Doug Schulkind: Coltrane took the first solo. Here your can hear the Caribbean lilt in Sonny's effort. Simply fantastic!
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am Brian in UK: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:34 I taped 'Bok Bok, who's there' already for just this eventuality.
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Brian in UK @10:34 Yes, Way Out West was '57.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @10:35 Are you saying their Kronos membership ran out of time, Dean?
	🥁 ♥ 10:38am Zip7: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... This sounds great, Doug! Haven't heard it in ages
	♥ 10:38am Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @10:35 I saw Kronos in the mid-90s or so, and every time I see them advertised now, I am amazed that three of the members I saw are still playing.
	♥ 10:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:38 The cellist keeps changing, much like the drummer in Spinal Tap.
	♥ 10:39am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @10:38 It's a treasure, Zip7. Hardly the peak performance from either principal. But the very histroric nature of this pairing makes it legendary.
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:39 Losing all those Spinal Tap drummers really burns me up, Listener Gregory.
	10:40am Dean: There is a certain krono-logic to their departure.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... Always great to hear this, been awhile!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Brian in UK: So, are there any dates lined up for the Kronos Duo.
	♥ 10:42am tim: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:39 The previous cellist's demise at the Cleveland Opera House was not pretty.
	10:42am Dean: I saw Kronos in the late-early days, if that makes sense. Their programs consisted of one or two canonical pieces--Beethoven, Bartok, etc.--and one or two new pieces. They encored once with a medley of television sitcom theme songs.
	♥ 10:42am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... Sonny always sounds like he's playing at half-speed and could triple the tempo if he felt like it. And sometimes he does.
	♥ 10:43am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @10:41 It never gets old, Chris in Kensington Bklyn.
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:42 I second that observation, Listener Gregory. Sonny overpowered you by signalling that he was always holding a little something back. A devastating technique.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am Jeff Golick: ↳ Brian in UK @10:41 I know you're joking, Brian, but will add that when I saw Kronos at Big Ears back in March, when the two retiring members were still playing with the group, they noted who was joining and...I completely forgot those names. You're welcome.
	♥ 10:50am Doug Schulkind: The two new members: violinist Gabriela Díaz and violist Ayane Kozasa.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:50 This is why you get the big bucks. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51am Kat in the chat: Greetings all. Happy Friday. Mine not so happy right now, I'd rather be banging on a car part like Doug in college.
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: Ole Kock Hansen on piano here with Warne and Lee. Recorded live at Café Montmartre, Copenhagen.
	♥ 10:52am Listener Gregory: As we know, Kronos castrated his father and consumed his children, making him an apt role model for a contemporary string quartet.(?)
	♥ 10:53am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:52 High strung quartet, in other words.
	♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 I shall endeavor to cheer you even just a tiny bit, Kat in the chat!
	♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:51 I knew that off the top of my Google, Jeff Golick.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:52 Wonder if Ole Kock was a known alte kaker. Seems likely.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am βrian: They hire those folks to clap in the background, you know. I read it somewhere.
	10:59am Dean: Maybe John and Hank will retire and then rejoin, but take the other's instrument, John on viola, Hank on violin. Musical chairs, kind of...
	♥ 10:59am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:55 There were so many avenues before you, Jeff Golick.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00am Kat in the chat: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:52 I consumed more than a few Kronos branded gyros during my years in Chicago, might have thought about that a bit differently if I'd known the associated mythology...
	♥ 11:10am Franco Twinkie: For anyone who need a visual distraction, The New York Times posted a video of an eel and an octopus fighting like a couple of drunks outside a bar. Who knew they hated each others guts so much, but that's nature for you. vp.nyt.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: I've really been enjoying Five Miles to Midnight with The Knave, my most recent WFMU discovery. Making internet radio magic over here on the Drummer stream!
	11:12am adamdoesit: You know what they say: live a Kronos, die a Rhea.
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @11:11 That show is presented live from Melbourne, Australia, Chris! The Drummer Stream presents 34 shows from seven different time zones
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: This set always delivers.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am βrian: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:14 CST represents, thanks to Uncle Michael!
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Zip7: No takers yet on the “Hit the Bongo! The Latin Soul of Tico Records” double-LP won on this show. It looks great, but we don't have a turntable. If someone can rip the tracks, I’ll mail you the LP to keep. If interested, email me at zipperhead7@gmail.com. I’ll also include a bonus.
	♥ 11:26am Rich in Pacific Standard Time: Lovely show this AM, Doug!
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: Fucking killer guitar sound on this cut. It sounds like it's trying to mimic the sound of guitar seche or "dry guitar," the gut-stringed acoustic guitar sound of 1960s East Africa.
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Rich in Pacific Standard Time @11:26 Why thank you, Mr Radiobreaker!
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: This singer of this tune titled "Obi Cubana" keeps saying "Yankee."
	♥ 11:30am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @11:25 Contactless delivery, meets COVID protocol, Brian in UK.
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Artie: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:29 Janqui va a casa!
	♥ 11:32am spodiodi: goooood morning,Doug!☀️
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Artie @11:31 This Orioles fan hates the Yanquis, Artie!
	♥ 11:32am Andrew in Toronto: hi, spodi!
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: ↳ spodiodi @11:32 Spoooodiiiiioooooodiiiiii!!!!!
	♥ 11:33am spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Artie: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:32 Y de Los Bravos tambien, Doug
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am chresti: hi spodi!\\// nice avatar!
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am βrian: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:32 I like orioles, cuz they sing pretty. Cardinals or ok.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Artie: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Hmmm...
	♥ 11:39am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Artie @11:33 Sorry, Artie. Until they retire that vile tomahawk chop, Los Bravos are muerte a mi.
	♥ 11:40am Alex from Media: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:26 Interwebs dropped and I missed this. Could you point me to some examples of guitar seche for homework?
	♥ 11:40am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:39 I agree, Doug.
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Zip7, I bet I have digital files for most if not all the tracks on that comp. Email me separately and remind me and I'll scrounge them up for you.
	♥ 11:40am (Mr) Bill: (Mr) Bill in the house for too short a while. My best wishes for Luna and her people to love each other like mad for as long as they’re physically together.
	♥ 11:40am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Only When You're Lonely" by "Holly Maxwell" Curious about the b-side title. Let Him Go For Himself... multiple interpretations possible.
	♥ 11:41am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:40 Toilet-training advice?
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:40 Get your mind outta the gutter, Listener Gregory Go for this: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:40 Thanks muchly for your kind thoughts, (Mr) Bill.
	♥ 11:43am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Alex from Media @11:40 Alex in Media, can't work on that right at the moment. Email me.
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Zip7: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:40 Thanks, Doug. I see that I can order a download from the label, so that's what I'm gonna do. And I'll tell Zipperdawg he better not get any more records unless he's prepared to buy a turntable
	♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind: This tune was co-written by Clarence Reid aka Blowfly.
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @11:44 Really, Zip7? I thought it was vinyl-only. Nice! That compilation was produced by one of our own, the listener known as Mr C.
	11:46am adamdoesit: I gotta drop off the soul set and vibrate with some roots music: it’s time for my dental checkup. Thank you, DJ Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Delightful show as ever, Doug. Have a jolly weekend everyone.
	11:46am Mr C: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:44 originally done by Helene Smith
	♥ 11:47am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "A Woman Will Do Wrong" by "Dee Dee Sharp" Dee Dee is so friggin' sharp. As a mathematician, I’m more familiar with d/dx and d/dy. I vow to become better acquainted with d/d(Sharp).
	♥ 11:48am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Mr C @11:46 I've got that Helene Smith original right here. How about for next week?!?
	11:49am Mr C: dynomite!

	♥ 9:28am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Doug. It's really too early for me to be typing, but here I go anyway.

Yesterday I told myself I wasn't going to sift through records today, but I feel I must. What do yo do when the urge overtakes you, but reason tells you not to do it?

Mulberries wait for no man - one minute there here, the next minute they're gone, BUT I GOT TO HERE THOSE RECORDS!!!

	♥ 9:49am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:44 hahaha! At the university I work at, there was a Balinese Gamelan master musician who taught in the musc department. Each semester he'd teach gamelan orchestra class for music students and a second class for community members. There would be a performance at the end of each semester. The master has since retired but it was a real privilege to attend so many gamelan concerts.
	♥ 9:51am Doug Schulkind: A calung is a bamboo slotted marimba. Check it out: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:49 Wesleyan University has a long-running gamelan orchestra. There was gamelan at Oberlin when I was there in the early '80s.
	♥ 9:53am Listener Gregory: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:51 I heard a classical concert not long ago that was almost entirely marimba music. There was some good stuff there.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Andrew Weintraub leads a wonderful gamelan group here at the University of Pittsburgh: www.music.pitt.edu... Andrew is pals with Henk den Toom, the blogger I mentioned earlier.

	♥ 9:56am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:54 Wow! There's an Afro Pop ensemble too. Nice.
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:55 I didn't, tim. I did play in Oberlin's steel drum orchestra, as evidenced by this alumni page on Oberlin Steel's website: www.oberlinsteelpan.com...
	♥ 9:59am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:57 Very cool! You were still tapping on some metal :)
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Sorry I'm late, I'll just take a seat here in the back.

	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @9:59 Glad you're here, Chris in Kensington Bklyn!
	♥ 10:02am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @9:59 Actually, tim, I didn't play pans, I was on assorted percussion. Often played maybe the most important instrument in a steel orchestra: the brake drum. Taken from the wheel assembly of an automobile, the brake drum makes an incredibly piercing clang when struck with a metal bolt.
	♥ 10:02am Listener Gregory: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:02 and is played at the end of every piece?
	♥ 10:03am Little Danny: hello loving this!!!
	♥ 10:03am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:02 Actually, the brake drum is often clanged on the beat throughout the performance. The main time keeper.
	♥ 10:04am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Little Danny @10:03 I'm loving you loving this, Little Danny!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:03 I fell like I also hear the brake drum frequently in the music of Tom Waits.
	♥ 10:06am tim: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:03 Oh wow. I never noticed that before in a steel drum orchestra. That's quite similar to the time keep in gamelan. Was the brake drum you played repurposed from a car or manufactured as in instrument?
	🥁 ♥ 10:07am Sem: Good morning, Drumhead Doug, and paradiddlers and rat-a-tat-tatt-ers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10am Brian in UK: 'pataphysics: the way forward.
	♥ 10:10am Little Danny: wow!
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: ↳ tim @10:06 tim, it was 40+ years ago, so I'm not sure I remember. Pretty sure we had an actual car part. Fake brake drums are sold these days that mimic the sound. They're sold in a variety of vibrant colors.
	🥁 ♥ 10:12am Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @10:10 Hello, hatted-Callie Brian.
	10:12am still b/p: Did a cop pull Robert over and tell him to recite this?

	🥁 ♥ 10:13am Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @10:12 Hello Sem. Just about to cut some grass, not good enough to call it lawn.
	♥ 10:14am Doug Schulkind: ↳ still b/p @10:12 still b/p if that golf guy who got arrested this morning was a Black man, he'd be dead.
	♥ 10:14am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" You can hear so much of the carry-over from this into the early Kevin Ayers'/The Whole Wide World solo efforts....little structures that persisted...interesting....not surprising I suppose, but interesting.....
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" Cuneiform seems an appropriate label for this.
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am bobdc: Wyatt is reminding me a bit of the Bonzo Dog Band here.

	♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind: ↳ bobdc @10:16 Methinks it's all that insouciant irreverence, bobdc.
	♥ 10:21am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:13 Brian in UK, please tell me you are using a scythe, grim reaper style, to cut your grass. Please tell me this!
	♥ 10:22am WR: ↳ Song: "Rivmic Melodies" by "Robert Wyatt" Lovely to hear Rivmic Robert today. Hello Doug and GTD streamers.

	♥ 10:24am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @10:18 Hi, Sem!
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: ↳ sinner @10:23 We celebrate No Mow May all year long, sinner.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @10:24 Good morning to you, AiT!
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:21 Doug, ofcourse it is a scythe. Not sure about the reaper though. Feeling grim at the moment with a full on cold.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am βrian: Dougie & Howie? Surely, you jest.
	♥ 10:33am Doug Schulkind: Dougie and Howie and Sonny and John, βrian.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am Brian in UK: Tenor Madness recording must be close to Rollin's Way Out West. Which coincidentally I bought way out east in the Czech Republic.
	♥ 10:34am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @10:30 Hope you heal up soon, Brian in UK. Who is going to read the chickens their bedtime stories?
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: Sonny Rollins is a wonderful follow on Twitter.
	10:35am Dean: The grass is always greener on the other scythe. Hey, two Kronos Quartet stalwarts are retiring! https://kronosquartet.org/kronos-festival-2024/?mc_cid=7573f1c41f&mc_eid=9ced07df52
	♥ 10:35am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... This is often interpreted as Sonny giving his imprimatur to Coltrane as being a worthy successor (although Rollins was very far from retiring at this point).
	♥ 10:36am Doug Schulkind: Coltrane took the first solo. Here your can hear the Caribbean lilt in Sonny's effort. Simply fantastic!
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am Brian in UK: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:34 I taped 'Bok Bok, who's there' already for just this eventuality.
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Brian in UK @10:34 Yes, Way Out West was '57.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @10:35 Are you saying their Kronos membership ran out of time, Dean?
	🥁 ♥ 10:38am Zip7: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... This sounds great, Doug! Haven't heard it in ages
	♥ 10:38am Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @10:35 I saw Kronos in the mid-90s or so, and every time I see them advertised now, I am amazed that three of the members I saw are still playing.
	♥ 10:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:38 The cellist keeps changing, much like the drummer in Spinal Tap.
	♥ 10:39am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @10:38 It's a treasure, Zip7. Hardly the peak performance from either principal. But the very histroric nature of this pairing makes it legendary.
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:39 Losing all those Spinal Tap drummers really burns me up, Listener Gregory.
	10:40am Dean: There is a certain krono-logic to their departure.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... Always great to hear this, been awhile!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Brian in UK: So, are there any dates lined up for the Kronos Duo.
	♥ 10:42am tim: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:39 The previous cellist's demise at the Cleveland Opera House was not pretty.
	10:42am Dean: I saw Kronos in the late-early days, if that makes sense. Their programs consisted of one or two canonical pieces--Beethoven, Bartok, etc.--and one or two new pieces. They encored once with a medley of television sitcom theme songs.
	♥ 10:42am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tenor Madness" by "Sonny Rollins Quartet w/John C... Sonny always sounds like he's playing at half-speed and could triple the tempo if he felt like it. And sometimes he does.
	♥ 10:43am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @10:41 It never gets old, Chris in Kensington Bklyn.
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:42 I second that observation, Listener Gregory. Sonny overpowered you by signalling that he was always holding a little something back. A devastating technique.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am Jeff Golick: ↳ Brian in UK @10:41 I know you're joking, Brian, but will add that when I saw Kronos at Big Ears back in March, when the two retiring members were still playing with the group, they noted who was joining and...I completely forgot those names. You're welcome.
	♥ 10:50am Doug Schulkind: The two new members: violinist Gabriela Díaz and violist Ayane Kozasa.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:50 This is why you get the big bucks. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51am Kat in the chat: Greetings all. Happy Friday. Mine not so happy right now, I'd rather be banging on a car part like Doug in college.
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: Ole Kock Hansen on piano here with Warne and Lee. Recorded live at Café Montmartre, Copenhagen.
	♥ 10:52am Listener Gregory: As we know, Kronos castrated his father and consumed his children, making him an apt role model for a contemporary string quartet.(?)
	♥ 10:53am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:52 High strung quartet, in other words.
	♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 I shall endeavor to cheer you even just a tiny bit, Kat in the chat!
	♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:51 I knew that off the top of my Google, Jeff Golick.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:52 Wonder if Ole Kock was a known alte kaker. Seems likely.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am βrian: They hire those folks to clap in the background, you know. I read it somewhere.
	10:59am Dean: Maybe John and Hank will retire and then rejoin, but take the other's instrument, John on viola, Hank on violin. Musical chairs, kind of...
	♥ 10:59am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:55 There were so many avenues before you, Jeff Golick.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00am Kat in the chat: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:52 I consumed more than a few Kronos branded gyros during my years in Chicago, might have thought about that a bit differently if I'd known the associated mythology...
	♥ 11:10am Franco Twinkie: For anyone who need a visual distraction, The New York Times posted a video of an eel and an octopus fighting like a couple of drunks outside a bar. Who knew they hated each others guts so much, but that's nature for you. vp.nyt.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: I've really been enjoying Five Miles to Midnight with The Knave, my most recent WFMU discovery. Making internet radio magic over here on the Drummer stream!
	11:12am adamdoesit: You know what they say: live a Kronos, die a Rhea.
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @11:11 That show is presented live from Melbourne, Australia, Chris! The Drummer Stream presents 34 shows from seven different time zones
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Brian in UK: This set always delivers.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am βrian: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:14 CST represents, thanks to Uncle Michael!
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Zip7: No takers yet on the “Hit the Bongo! The Latin Soul of Tico Records” double-LP won on this show. It looks great, but we don't have a turntable. If someone can rip the tracks, I’ll mail you the LP to keep. If interested, email me at zipperhead7@gmail.com. I’ll also include a bonus.
	♥ 11:26am Rich in Pacific Standard Time: Lovely show this AM, Doug!
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: Fucking killer guitar sound on this cut. It sounds like it's trying to mimic the sound of guitar seche or "dry guitar," the gut-stringed acoustic guitar sound of 1960s East Africa.
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Rich in Pacific Standard Time @11:26 Why thank you, Mr Radiobreaker!
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: This singer of this tune titled "Obi Cubana" keeps saying "Yankee."
	♥ 11:30am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Brian in UK @11:25 Contactless delivery, meets COVID protocol, Brian in UK.
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Artie: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:29 Janqui va a casa!
	♥ 11:32am spodiodi: goooood morning,Doug!☀️
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Artie @11:31 This Orioles fan hates the Yanquis, Artie!
	♥ 11:32am Andrew in Toronto: hi, spodi!
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: ↳ spodiodi @11:32 Spoooodiiiiioooooodiiiiii!!!!!
	♥ 11:33am spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Artie: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:32 Y de Los Bravos tambien, Doug
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am chresti: hi spodi!\\// nice avatar!
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am βrian: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:32 I like orioles, cuz they sing pretty. Cardinals or ok.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Artie: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Hmmm...
	♥ 11:39am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Artie @11:33 Sorry, Artie. Until they retire that vile tomahawk chop, Los Bravos are muerte a mi.
	♥ 11:40am Alex from Media: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:26 Interwebs dropped and I missed this. Could you point me to some examples of guitar seche for homework?
	♥ 11:40am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:39 I agree, Doug.
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Zip7, I bet I have digital files for most if not all the tracks on that comp. Email me separately and remind me and I'll scrounge them up for you.
	♥ 11:40am (Mr) Bill: (Mr) Bill in the house for too short a while. My best wishes for Luna and her people to love each other like mad for as long as they’re physically together.
	♥ 11:40am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Only When You're Lonely" by "Holly Maxwell" Curious about the b-side title. Let Him Go For Himself... multiple interpretations possible.
	♥ 11:41am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:40 Toilet-training advice?
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:40 Get your mind outta the gutter, Listener Gregory Go for this: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:40 Thanks muchly for your kind thoughts, (Mr) Bill.
	♥ 11:43am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Alex from Media @11:40 Alex in Media, can't work on that right at the moment. Email me.
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Zip7: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:40 Thanks, Doug. I see that I can order a download from the label, so that's what I'm gonna do. And I'll tell Zipperdawg he better not get any more records unless he's prepared to buy a turntable
	♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind: This tune was co-written by Clarence Reid aka Blowfly.
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Zip7 @11:44 Really, Zip7? I thought it was vinyl-only. Nice! That compilation was produced by one of our own, the listener known as Mr C.
	11:46am adamdoesit: I gotta drop off the soul set and vibrate with some roots music: it’s time for my dental checkup. Thank you, DJ Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: Delightful show as ever, Doug. Have a jolly weekend everyone.
	11:46am Mr C: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:44 originally done by Helene Smith
	♥ 11:47am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "A Woman Will Do Wrong" by "Dee Dee Sharp" Dee Dee is so friggin' sharp. As a mathematician, I’m more familiar with d/dx and d/dy. I vow to become better acquainted with d/d(Sharp).
	♥ 11:48am Doug Schulkind: ↳ Mr C @11:46 I've got that Helene Smith original right here. How about for next week?!?
	11:49am Mr C: dynomite!
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: ↳ adamdoesit @11:46 Getting you to listen is like pulling teeth, adamdoesit.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50am chresti: ↳ Song: "You Ain't Nothing But in the Way" by "Tina Britt" I like Tina's version of "sookie sookie"
	♥ 11:51am Doug Schulkind: ↳ chresti @11:50 Truth be told, chresti, it's hard to do a bad version of "Sookie Sookie."
	♥ 11:51am Listener Gregory: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:51 I find it easy.
	♥ 11:51am Doug Schulkind: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:47 (Mr) Bill is dropping SCIENCE right here!

	11:52am still b/p: ↳ Song: "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say G... Prime example of a song that was weightless radio background for me in its day and now has increased in substance and appeal by a factor of a bajillion.
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: The underwatery wah-wah-wah on this track is so trippy!
	♥ 11:53am Doug Schulkind: ↳ still b/p @11:52 There are no bad songs, still b/p. Except those by Billy Joel.
	♥ 11:53am Doug Schulkind: Yeah, I said it.
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: Of course, I'm the guy who used to loathe Mel Tormé.

	🥁 ♥ 11:55am Zip7: Lovely show, Doug. It's why we come back week after week. Give poor Luna a skritch for us
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks for the selections, Doug Schulkind! Always great.

	♥ 12:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Doug!
